Why is this TV only giving us a 60 Hz picture? Really unhappy with this choice!

Who is your cable or dish provider that will determine if you will have call your cable provider or you can do it your self .the picture is unbelievable on my 55 inch

It depends on your input signal. Do you use a digital cable box? Mine shows 120HZ. It may also depend on the connection cable and splitters. They may not be the best conductors of the signal.

I asked the same question to the tv people at Bestbuy while researching my selection and I was told that LED tv's with higher refresh rates wouldn't really be all that noticeable to average consumer for screens under 60', not only that but the tv's with the higher refresh rates wouldn't be as economical (historically true with LCD's). I can honestly say that I haven't noticed any problems with blurring with the current product in movies or more importantly sports. Hope this helps!

No clue. I bought the 46" version and it is 60Hz only. The 55" apparently is 120Hz, at least according to the specs. I doubt the refresh rate is selectable

NO! 120Hz is a marketing gimmick! Don't fall for it because no one watches movies like that! That fps is meant for recorded video, NOT MOVIES! Put it this way, do movies in theatres appear 120FPS? No. All movies are displayed in 24FPS as they were meant to be. This TV will put ANY other HDTV to shame!!!EDIT: Okay, okay... I'll just add that I THINK 120Hz is a "gimmick". Others find it very useful and engaging.

No this model run on 120 hz. I love this TV ~ great for my viewing. I'm not a gamer.

I called LG's tech support twice and both times they said that this TV IS native 120Hz. The link above to the LG FAQ page is NOT answered by a staff member, instead its from a regular "contributor".

The TV has 120 Hz frame rate only in 3D mode. It will be 60 Hz for displaying native 2D signals as well as 2D signals created by the 3D-to-2D feature.

This is not a 120hz TV, it is a 60HZ TV that has a feature called "120Hz Clear Motion" That means it is simulating higher rate (simulated 120Hz, NOT actual 120Hz) by inserting extra frames but the truel rate is 60Hz.

Hi Jason, I actually just spent two hours on hold waiting for Sony to get to the bottom of the 24p/120hz issue for me, and this TV indeed runs at 60hz, which means it really is not True 24p, because the frame duplication is not equal for every frame, as it would be for 120hz (i.e. each of the 24 frames per second would be replicated five times per second as the TV refreshes 120 times in that second....24x5 = 120). This model is 60hz, so the frames replicate at something like 2:3:3:3:2 and so on (not quite sure how correct that is). I am actually very dissatisfied with this, because the whole reason I upgraded to this TV and Blu Ray was to have ACTUAL True 24p. With the Sony 32 and 37 inch models, they are falsely advertising completely...But most people would never notice a difference. 24p from Blu Ray still looks incredible on this TV, but there ARE times where something just doesn't QUITE look right...and I do notice it. I would have saved up a few extra hundred dollars for the larger, 120hz TVs had I known the technicalities of this back then....

Sorry but I can't help you. I returned the TV because the picture quality was not acceptable. I replaced it with the 7000 series and I am very happy.

I believe you're correct; Amazon has confused Samsung's CMR rate (240) with the refresh rate (120 Hz). This TV listed on every other site I've found is listed as 120 Hz. Also, on Amazon if you click through the size choices, all the other sizes of this model are listed as 120 Hz. Surprised more people haven't noticed/mentioned this.

I also have this TV. Take magic remote and move all the way to top of screen and it will inform you it is 60hz. I have wondered why. I also think this is the best tv out there. The colors and 3d,or 2d to 3d is awesome.

No, its not! I got Samsung 60Hz(120 true motion rate) TV, put it next to LG 120Hz(LG doesn't show true motion rate anywhere, as a matter fact it wouldn't even say on a box or in the menu that is 120Hz!!!) and I was watching them next to each other for 3 days, even tried to change the setting ... and let me tell you-Samsung 60 Hz much better, sharper picture than LG 120Hz!!!

Hello, folks? This is an important question!Do you really not agree on the answer? As of 8/2/14, Amazon's ad STILL says this 47LB6300 47" TV by LG Electronics has a native "120hz refresh rate." So what is it, please???

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

i am having the same problem, I even went ahead and got the high end cables they say works for 600Hz but no change, xbox and ps3 both say 1080 @60Hz

I just purchased a Samsung UN40H5203 - a 60hz refresh. I am enjoying the rich color, but I find that for sports - football and basketball so far - the 60hz can't refresh fast enough to eliminate what seems to be a pixelation where movement is fastest. Otherwise, not issue. Perhaps if I were looking for a TV with a screen as big as the Berlin Wall I'd want the 120hz, but when I bought I saw a $200 difference between otherwise similar Samsung sets. Not worth the difference.

I have the same issue - 60 and not 120 hz, but I do not do video games or watch sports much, so 60suffices me. However if you find out how to get 120, please let me know. --Rabbi Ed
