I'm looking for a new TV, and I hate how hard manufactures make it to figure out what you are getting. Here are my constraints:
-$550 after Shipping and Tax (Prime is nice..). Id rather do $450 though.
-48"-55"
-1080p, not 4k
-I think I want a smart TV, as I do not have a cable box, modern game console, or any sort of dvd/blu ray player. All though I might pick up a PS3 at some point.
-If for some reason one had a separate coax jack for cable and air, that would be extremely nice. My old Samsung has this, but I think this has gone by the wayside.
I really will only use the TV for watching basic cable, so not even 720p, Netflix, and HD over air. Maybe the occasional game of Madden if I get a PS3, and playing my old Xbox and PS2 games.
Refresh rate is so confusing to me. I understand how it is supposed to work, but these manufacturers seemingly love to water this territory. I understand 120Hz is favorable because if you watch a blu ray at 24fps, it is natively supported. I also understand that 120hz TVs are interlaced, really only using a 60fps source. Does that mean they are not going to support that 24fps rate?
Anyways, Here is what I am looking at currently.

The 48" version of this TV is $430 everywhere but Amazon..

Both the Sony and Samsung claim a 60Hz refresh rate while the Visio a 120Hz. How do they compare?
Thanks,
