is there a "game mode" on this TV? Reviews say 120Hz can't be disabled explicitly, but I think if there is a game mode that should do it.

Yes, it has a "game mode". And according to this reviewer, it's relatively easier to access than others: http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lg-lcd-tv/lg-47ln5400.html Also, see this discussion in the Amazon page for the 42" size of this TV:

I'm pretty sure that game mode is still 120hz. However there is a review that states the lag on the TV is less than 10ms.

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

I purchased this TV specifically based on Amazon's description that indicated 120 hz. I've run into the same conflicting information that you found and unfortunately (especially for me), it appears that the refresh rate is in fact 6ohz. I spent several days trying to find the 120hz switch in all of the settings and couldn't find it. Finally, I checked in the manual and it says the XBR series of Sony TVs doesn't come with Motionflow (their name for 120hz). I'm still hanging on to the tiniest bit of hope that I'm wrong but I don't think so. If you've seen a 1080p tv play a blueray or hd material with the 120hz on, then you'll know why I'm bummed. It's a truly amazing effect. It doesn't look 3d, but almost like you're watching a play. It's not an effect that would appeal to everyone, but I've seen movies like Spiderman 3, terminator 2 and Pirates of the Carribean and I was blown away. My one bit of hope (and confusion) come from the fact that the previous model (KDL 32XBR4) is described on the Sony website as having Motionflow/120hz but that model was only 720p. I haven't seen what that type of combination looks like, but I'm curious if it still provides the same effect that I've seen on the 1080p models. I spoke to both Circuit City and Best buy reps and both said that there aren't ANY 32" and smaller TVs with 120hz. The smallest it is offered on is 40". Not sure if this helped any but my last bit of research is calling Sony directly and asking them. I'll write back and keep you posted.

Good question. One thing you might want to consider is what I just found out yesterday... a salesman showed me what happens when you watch a standard def. digital broadcast on a top-of-the-line Sony LCD with 120hz compared with the Samsung 40A650. Wow, what a difference! Nobody ever mentions what standard def. looks like on these 1080p LCD sets. The Sony was terrible, the Samsung was fine. It's the pixelation of edges during movement problem. I guess the 120hz motion control only works in HD mode on most sets (that's what the saleman said), while Samsung's works in standard mode, too. So, go to a store that will show you what the picture looks like on the 46A550 in standard def mode. I would also want to compare the contrast ratio between the 2 sets, as the 40A650's is pretty hard to beat.

Yes. I wont tell you its the best tv on the market for gaming out there but for what it is it displays superb picture quality at 120 frames per second i personally think 240 frames is to much everything looks like a soap opera the 120 gets the job done with no image lag or frame rate drops i played blackops 2 for hours on end an it ran perfectly fine and for the money you cant beat it its a all around good tv...

I bought a similar Samsung and also thought I was getting a 60 hz picture but in fact, by default it uses the 120 hz. The 60 hz that is shown (I don't recall where that setting is shown) is misleading and does not represent the actual 120 hz that the TV uses by default. Nothing to turn on, you are getting 120 hz. Samsung should be more clear about this but I did track down the issue on their website.

It is 60hz. I can certainly understand your confusion. Please, read the rest of the responses for more info. SonyStyle was very disappointly and cleverly not very clear about this feature in this tv, which is unfortunate for a company of its stature.

The tv is 120hz in 3D mode, but no tv has support for 240hz in 3d mode yet. everything else can be set to 240hz, games, movies, etc

It's flawless watching sports. The 120 Hz handles fast frame rates exceptionally well. I've had it for a few months now and it has spoiled me as my friends' TVs just don't stack up despite being much larger and far more expensive

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

I don't..but, even though I have it turned on, I don't think there are any programs in existence at this time that change with a 120 frame rate..if I'm wrong about it, I'd love to know..Good luck..Check the how to guide that comes with your tv if you haven't already..Sorry I can't be more helpful..

This TV is not 120hz. Lg seems to have put incorrect info out that is slowly being corrected by resalers. If you notice amazon now has this listed as a 60hz TV. As a new owner of this TV I think a class action lawsuit against lg is coming. I am very upset at being lied to

The TV does NOT support over 60 Hz! I've tried many methods to get the TV to display more than 60 Hz using my high-end gaming PC, but nothing has worked. I've talked with two Samsung customer support representatives and both have confirmed that this TV only supports up to a 60 Hz refresh rate! I specifically bought this TV for the 120 Hz refresh rate and now, a little more than a year later, I've just discovered that this product title and description are FALSE ADVERTISING.

I would think that it's 60hz because of the super low response time. Most of your new HDTV's have at least a 120 and in some cases 240hz refresh rate which is what makes their response times anywhere from 10-18 ms. Doesn't seem like a lot until you play on a BENQ which has a 1 ms response time.

I bought this tv last week and picked up an HDMI cable as well. For some reason I can't get the TV to show videos at 120hz. Does anyone know if the HDMI cable influences that or how to switch it on the TV?
