There is so much misunderstanding of Hz on HUKD. What you're referring to doesn't even really make sense, as they're 2 entirely separate things. To give a very quick breakdown:

* Almost every modern TV will display 60Hz if required. If they couldn't consoles would have huge tearing issues when outputting 1080/60p - which the specification sheet clearly states it can do.

* The UK broadcasts use 50Hz. This means quite often you will see '50Hz' listed. It is simply an indication that it can display 50Hz correctly. Many TV sets in the US (where they use 60Hz) can NOT display 50Hz properly, so it's kinda important to know this information.

* You can see this set supports 60Hz : http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/98e44a5

* It also supports 200Hz "Motionflow XR 200 Hz": http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt-specs/KDL-48WD655/list

* Figures like "200Hz" are referring to something *totally* different than the traditional refresh rate. It's telling you how much the TV can interpolate an image to 'insert' more frames, so make the image smoother. Most people never even use this, but when they do, it's often on sports. You wouldn't use it for gaming, or normal TV watching as it gives everything a very strange look.

I hope that helps clear things up a bit.

I thought there may be a catch with this TV and it's the refresh rate of 50hz. I have an older 42" Sony TV and I'm pretty sure the refresh rate is 200hz. Still I great price for a large Sony telly!

Wow thats such a bad refresh rate. Must be an error.

With a bit more.. U can get a 4k... I wouldnt buy. 0 reviews

Which?

With awful SD upscaling properties
Go for it if you want, but for a Sony full HD is still a good deal

I'm sure consoles use vsync.

It depends on the game, and in many of them, you can toggle it. For example: Rocket League. Some on the PS4 have it off by default, while others like devil May Cry 4 have it on by default.
