Was this model previously listed as a 120Hz TV? I had seen reports that LG was advertising it as a 120Hz TV when it was only truly 60Hz.

Yes. just this listing appears a bit more honest. Looked this up a while bk and the 6700 models have 60hz panels, and only allow for 60hz input. it's just the software (perhaps thas the trumotion part) that creates a 120hz effect. so yes I'd say its the same tv you saw before. Even though that listing says 60hz, lg still sticks to their 120hz claim though on these ('Trumotion 120hz, that is) http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tvI'm happy with my purchase though, 60hz, or fake 120hz, it still looks great to me. (grabbed the 55lm6700 a few mos. ago)

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.

I have the 55" LM6700 not the 47" but I have noticed that it does appear to be 60hz instead of the advertised 120hz. This doesn't bother me too much because I dislike the way 120 hz. looks. TruMotion is horrible.

What he means by "true" 120Hz technology is that you aren't getting 120 Hz from your source, the TV just creates it, kind of like upconverting an old DVD, you dont get "True" 1080p because the DVD is only 480p. You also don't get true 120Hz because the DVD is 24Hz or 30Hz. So, technically speaking, right now I don't know of any way you can get a true 120Hz picture other than maybe a very high end PC if there are any that support it. That is also assuming that the TV would accept it as input, many TVs are strange like that.

How I understand it is that the 120hz refresh rate is an internal feature. The television signal you receive only comes into your TV at 60hz, but your television can internally smooth it out to 120hz. So, your display is only going to show what is coming into the tv, which is 720p, 60hz, 1080i, 60hz, etc.

I spoke online with an LG rep yesterday who told me that the native refresh rate is 60hz. The TV contains software and other features that mimic a refresh rate of 120hz, but this is not the same thing as a native refresh rate of 120hz. This is in keeping with the trend over the last several years of manufacturers artificially bulking up the refresh rate to try to convince you the picture is better.

Samsung uses their own "Rating" for their TVs. This TV is a Samsung 120 CMR which translates roughly to 60Hz. I believe someone at Amazon saw 120 and assumed it was Hz not CMR

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.

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

right now it is capped at 30 hz. I called LG and they claimed to be working on some sort of upgrade solution which they ballparked being ready by Q3

According to LG's own website, the refresh rate is listed as 120hz. Whether or not it is, I don't know. There are no TruMotion settings in the menu of the 42LN5400.

it's a lie by LG unfortunately!! http://hdguru.com/lg-55lm6700-hdtv-review-when-120-hz-isnt-120-hz-updated/8281/http://hdguru.com/beware-of-phony-lcd-hdtv-refresh-rates/7726/

120hz standard, but 240hz enhanced. Excellent picture, I leave it at 120hz for most viewing; I have not found a need to switch to 240hz. Granted, I did check it out at 240 but find 120 is better for regular shows/movies. Haven't watched football yet... we'll see ;-)

Just from looking quickly, I think it is simply that this tv is 240MHZ where mine is 120 if I remember correctly. The only other thing might be that it is a newer model. Unsure of that though. Other than that they look very similar and I have been extremely happy with my television. Some things to work through, but that is the joy of technology and newer technology. The smart features have been very cool and great for entertainment.

I am still trying to remember why I had to have a 120 Hz TV (52LNA850). I don't watch sports more than once a month, at most. If you're like me, you can buy a 550 television and save a great deal of money over a 650-or-higher model.

Yes basically, it was advertised being 120hz, but when i got it, its only a software upgrade that makes them able to say it's 120hz, but on the screen it says 60hz even in cinema mode

120Hz, based on the independent assessment here: http://www.rtings.com/info/fake-refresh-rates-samsung-clear-motion-rate-vs-sony-motionflow-vs-lg-trumotion

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.

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!!!
