I was also wondering, as I got my tv yesterday and hi def time warner cable today. I also put it on 120hz. So, can anyone tell me when and how to benefit from this feature? Also would appeciate any recs on sound system- not too expensive to add to tv, and what to go with blue-ray or other high def DVD player..thanks.

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???

your tv is always displaying 120hz, what you see on the screen is what he input frame rate is so your tv is taking 60 hz and converting it to 120.

HDMI 1.4 is 4K @ 30Hz (has 3 of them), HDMI 2.0 is 4K @ 60Hz (has one of them), but the 120Hz thing is the TV's refresh rate, not the input from the HDMI.

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.

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.

Actually - it's impossible to have this problem on this TV...see my review; "You will NOT SEE "120Hz TruMotion" on this TV" from February 28, 2013

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".

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

Hi G.Thomas, Please take a look at this link: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/lcd-tv/LN52B630N1FXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=forum and click on question "my set says 60hz in upper left hand corner i though the set was a 120hz is there some way to do it? thank you " As the guy explains: A: That's a great question. The processor on the Samsung 120Hz/240Hz units will always display at their respective Hz. Even when the signal is only being transmitted at 60Hz, it will always display at 120Hz/240Hz since the processor is always upconverting the signal. Activating the Auto Motion Plus feature will allow for judder reduction and blurring reduction, depending on what settings you activate. This will enhance your 120Hz/240Hz viewing. The reason you are seeing the 60Hz in the info box is because the info box only displays the signal's actual Hz and screen resolution and not the info of the picture on the screen after the TV processes it. Meaning that the 60Hz you are seeing is the signals actual Hz and not the screen's Hz. Currently there is no way to display the screen's Hz in the info box. -MrSamsung So as long as you have automotion turned on you are getting the full capability of the tv. It does not have anything to do with what signal you are getting from dish.

I have been having this TV for over 2 weeks now. However I cannot see 'Set the Auto Motion Plus 120Hz' option under 'Picture Options'(Even if I scroll down). I did see that option on my first day and it has disappeared now. Samsung Tier 2 tech support told me that the option comes up only if I have a cable box which I dont. Howevr I am surprised as I did see it earlier without the cable box. Does anybody have any idea?

No plasma TV's have "120Hz Technology". It is not needed for Plasma, as they don't have the motion jerkiness problem the LCDs have. 120Hz is an LCD only technology. 120Hz is for LCD tv's because of the latent shutter speed to turn an LCD pixel on or off. This is actually the inverse of the frequency, or .0083 seconds; which is the switch time for the crystal (This is not to be confused with response time or fps; both of which are also different performance metrics). The crystals turn on and off to allow light to pass through or block it for dim/dark scenes; or to turn a color on or off. A pixel in a plasma TV is actually a tiny one-pixel "tube" TV. Tube TVs have never had a problem with action smear or latency. Plasma pixels have a near instantaneous on/off time, so implementation of 120Hz technology not only does not apply, it is not needed. The pixels have no latency; you'll never see a 8ms or 6ms response time attributed to plasma TVs, because the "pixels" go on and off as they are energized or de-energized; with no latency (At least not humanly perceptible).

Everyone will have varying opinions on this. Personally I'd go for the 120hz. The best advice is to go view each of these TVs and go with the one you like best.

You are very misinformed Watcher. 120hz refers to the panel refresh rate and whether you are watching 30fps video or 24fps movies it still relies on the 120hz refresh rate to display images. As JVAN has shared with us, Plasma TVs don't rely on that technology, it's an LCD thing.

I am having the same problem. I purchased a 40" LCD LED HD Samsung 120Hz 1080p and when I turn my TV on it shows 60Hz 1080i. And I still don't understand what is wrong. How can I fix it.
