is this really native 120hz refresh rate? The LG website does not say that it is, and the Q and A on the LG website says it is 60hz.

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

Rather than obsess on what the website or anything else says........... when those who own this TV -- the 47LB6300 47" LG Electronics TV -- watch movies or sports with fast action, IS BLUR AN ISSUE FOR YOU????????
2073367
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 was wondering the same thing, It has HDMI 1.4 which would support 1080p with 120hz so that threw me off.

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???

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

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.

The LG website says it is MCI600 (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-42LB6300-led-tv), which usually means 120Hz. Although not an official answer, the LG Q&A; site has two answers from a "top 500 contributor" and a "top 1000 contributor" also saying it is 120Hz (http://answers.lg.com/answers/7676/product/MD05098570/lg-electronics-42lb6300-questions-answers/questions.htm). A couple 3rd party review sites also say 120Hz (http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lg-lcd-tv/lg-42lb6300.html & http://www.rtings.com/reviews/tv/lcd-led/lg/lb6300) as does another big retailer which is independent of Amazon (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ljHShLA3ZMJ/p_68942B6300/LG-42LB6300.html).

No, it's Native 60Hz. From LG's FAQ page: "The 47LB6300 HDTV does not have the Trumotion feature. That is a feature that is featured in all the LG HDTVs with a 120Hz refresh rate and since the 47LB6300 is not a 120Hz refresh rate and is a 60Hz refresh rate, it does not have the feature..." http://answers.lg.com/answers/7676/product/MD05098569/lg-electronics-47lb6300-questions-answers/questions.htm

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz

It better have the 240HZ refresh rate! That is my understanding. When this question was posted I looked at the specs from other sights including cnet which confirmed that it was 240HZ. This is supposed to be Samsung's top of the line model.

You're mixing apples and oranges. It's the HDMI 1.4 ports that can only accept a maximum resolution of 3,840x2,160p30 (or 3,840 by 2,160 @ 30 frames per second) assuming 24-bit color because the bandwidth is not wide enough to handle any more than that. HDMI 2.0 (standard just agreed a few months ago) doubles that bandwidth to accommodate 60 fps keeping everything else constant. You're talking about the refresh rate when you mention 120Hz meaning that the TV is refreshing its picture faster than the fps rate of the source material. As of right now, there is no 120 fps video that I'm aware of, but it's supposed to be the standard for UHTV (4k) whenever they start producing 4k native content. Of course, at that point, not even HDMI 2.0 will have a sufficiently wide bandwidth to handle the 120 fps content at 4k resolution. The short answer to your question is that it's not the TV or its refresh rate, but rather the limit of its HDMI ports that is the problem with the current generation of 4k sets.

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.

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.

at lg's website, their technical specs for the ln5700 shows a trumotion (frame rate) at 120 hz, and mprt as 120hz. had same question prior to purchase of tv.
2193137
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.

You are exactly right. Information posted by many customers re: 120HZ on this set is often incorrect and oftentimes the manufacturers themselves do not make the specs clear (carefully read the 120hz info on the new LG Scarlet for a good example - the 120hz info is buried re: availability on different sizes). I would appreciate it if Amazon would correct this chart to help purchasers make more informed decisions and to maintain a higher standard than other websites. Thanks for your post -

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.

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....

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*....

I looked up this HDTV on Toshiba's website and they list it as being 60Hz. The 40L2400U is the 120Hz version of this tv.

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.

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!!!

Ramneek, This is a 120 Hz 'refresh' rate set. It is stated in 'Product Description' paragraph. The 60Hz you saw was for the power source as would be the case for all products sold for U.S. use.

The refresh rate is actually (probably, hard to get a definitive answer) 120hz; Samsung uses a technology they call "clear motion" to provide what they consider the equivalent of a 240hz refresh rate. Some other manufacturers do likewise (using either the same or different technology) to claim a larger refresh rate; for example LG calls theirs "TruMotion". The technology is beyond me, but if you'd like more details do a search for "refresh rate", or ask (in a search engine) a question like "what is Clear Motion refresh rate". I know CNET.com does a fairly detailed explanation. Both they and Consumer Reports cautions on taking these claims at face value as in their reviews they say they commonly see some tv's w/lower claimed refresh rates having a better pic (less fast action blur) than other tv's w/higher claimed refresh rates. It sucks, but we're stuck with this goofy arrangement and at the mercy of the manufacturers claims.
