How do I get full 120Hz out of my 50" TCL 120Hz 1080p??? The best I can see via the info button through HDMI Cable from my Dish Box is 1080i 60Hz

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

This is a native120hz panel that uses "scanning backlight" tech to achieve 240hz.. It doesn't matter what signal you feed it, it will still output a 240hz rendering. The 60hz you see in the top right info bar is simply the frequency/frame rate from your NTSC broadcast from your cable box/DVR or over the air signal. IN England it would say 50hz. All that aside, pay no attention to the top info bar if this has you worried. If you play a Blu Ray, it will say 1080p24 (assuming you have your Blu Ray sending your TV 1080p/24) This is really nothing you need to concern yourself with. The info bar ONLY displays the signal you are feeding the TV and NOT what the TV is putting out. The TV will ALWAYS put out a 1080p signal at either 60hz, 50hz or 24fps depending on your source. The 240hz is the screens REFRESH RATE and has nothing to do with the input or output signal. TO understand this further you can find useful info on both Wikipedia and the AVS forum among other places. Do not worry, this TV IS 240hz (120hz with scanning back light doubling what you see) Cheers! Marty G

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all

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.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it's connected to my rig via HDMI. I'm think I'm getting 120Hz but have to reconfirm.

I spoke with an LG rep online and here's what they had to say: "This unit model 42LN5400 is TruMotion 120 Hz. It isn't native 120 Hz. There is no audio visual device that outputs more than 60Hz on market, that's why TruMotion is video software on the TV that doubles frames. TruMotion is video processing software. TruMotion up-converts the input video by creating new frames to create smoother motion." No device on the market that outputs more than 60Hz?? Draw your own conclusions. I bought this tv but am thinking of returning it - unopened.

1080p/60Hz refers to the source input, the TV is telling you that's the signal it is receiving -- and the input doesn't change when 120 Hz is on.

If you have 120Hz, you shouldn't have a problem. Were you not able to watch in 1080p ? I don't know anything about changing refresh rates.

Depends on 2 factors: The graphics card you have (like GTX 700, 800 series or Radeon R9 series) are capable of 4k @ 30hz. However, LG is hiding the refresh rate @ 4k. 120hz is the refresh rate that will go down to ??? when you have it at 4k. Likely it's 30hz anyway, so you should be ok. Btw, HDMI 2.0 is needed for 4k @ 60hz and there's no video card out today with HDMI 2.0 out.

BTW...yesterday I was in BB and Sony has just released a 32" XBR9 1080p with 120hz Motionflow technology... and it is up on the Sony Style website.. so much for what the salesman tell you that Sony is not going to produce..But compared to the Sony 32" 1080p 60 hz.. I thought the higher priced model with 120hz looked grainy to me. I really didn't see the $200 difference in the (retail price). Perhaps on Blu Ray disc viewing there is a difference.. GLTA

I dunno? I have a 40" TCL, very satified. I suggest accessing a station that is supposed to be High Def 1080, then look at the bottom right hand corner when accessing the channel from GUIDE, it will spell out if you have it in High def .

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.

So its not really 120hz or... what? I just bought the LN40C630, and I notice a lot of juddering still, like its not really working. In the store compared to the other tvs this one looked great during action scenes, but now that i have it in the house, i swear this thing is just as juddery. I messed with the settings for auto-motion and it seems like it may have even gotten worse *confused*....

It seems that Amazon has changed it back to 120 Hz, now can someone tell me what the actual refresh rate is?
