Why this player support only 60 HZ? Does anybody know about it?

I don't have this bluray player but I am buying it for my mother as a Christmas gift. Bluray Players are all 1080p24, or 24 Hz, so there is absolutely no point in having the player send a "120 Hz" signal. The 120hz is to be set on your TV ( I have a 40" 120Hz Samsung and a 240Hz Samsung TV. All the settings on my Bluray, Laptop and desktop computers are all set to 24hz which is the native resolution for the film. You will always get a clean picture setting your Bluray to 24hz as apposed to 60hz. The 120hz is refers to the refresh rate of the TV screen not the Bluray Player. Technically a 120Hz or 240Hz TV should also perform well with 30Hz video material and 60Hz video material, but 24Hz is the Holy Grail of film reproduction. Neither the Blu-ray player or the TV has to perform any special processing (read 3:2 pulldown) to display the image at the panel's native refresh rate. This creates an amazingly natural and filmlike experience at home, on an LCD panel. If your TV has any kind of special motion smoothing features associated with the 120Hz (such as AutoMotion Plus from Samsung), I recommend turning it OFF (if possible) when you watch movies for the most film-like experience. This type of smoothing performs best of sports programming and some other video-based sources. I hope this helps.

This isn't a silly question at all! It's actually one of the best questions I've seen on here. The answer is no because you can only input a 60hz signal into the TV (just confirmed this - When I connected my laptop to my UN65H7150, it defaulted to 59hz and the highest option for me to put it at was 60hz). The software on the TV tries to figure out what should be between each frame inputted to it. Googled it and confirmed it: "Unfortunately televisions function differently than monitors. The 240hz is not the refresh rate, but the amount of frames that the television can produce after using a built in interpolation algorithm. It's base refresh and likely highest available for you to use with a computer is 60Hz and then the interpolation software in the television adds more frames in between frames from your input and outputs 240 frames. This makes it look smoother." For a movie, it'd look smoother, but for gaming it'd probably do more harm than good. Seems like what I found on google checks out. Grab a 120hz monitor made for a computer, not a TV for your son.

Actually, I disagree. I've had this tv for about a year now and every channel/input displays 60Hz. I have yet to see 120 Hz displayed as the frequency. Perhaps its only displaying 60 but utilizing 120? Just my two cents, sir.

You dont need drivers for it. there are none. Also, you should be able to tune the Hz up to 72 if your video card or display software naively supports it but there are 3rd party softwares that will let you do that as well.

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.

It depends on the game. Basically HDMI today can only carry up to 4K at 30Hz. Only HDMI 2.0 will allow higher frame rates, which almost no device on the market supports today.If your game is say 1080p60 it will not be upscaled to 4K, it will get some nice quality enhancements though.I your game is say 1080p30, then it WILL be upscaled to 4K.Not all games run at the same resolution / frame rate.

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.

Then what does it mean when a blu-ray player is input through HDMI and it says 24Hz? Then when I hooked the same BD player through my receiver (new Pioneer Elite) it's back to 60Hz. Never have seen 120 Hz.

Poof is dead-on correct. There is absolutely no merit to the claim that monster cables are necessary for 120Hz refresh rate. It's like claiming that 93 octane gas makes your windshield wipers work more efficiently - there's absolutely no connection. Anyone trying to sell you "mega monstrosity super-duper" cables is either deluded themselves, or trying to sell you a high profit margin product.

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.

The panel refreshes at 120hz you can't turn it on/off. When you see "60hz" on the screen it's because that's what the source is, so far there are no 120hz sources.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. It's powered by a USB cable from your PC and it will display 60Hz, which is within it's range of 0-250kHz. Perhaps you would be well served by checking out some of the videos on YouTube.

I have the 42" and have not had any such problems. I do not believe that there is a "60"hz mode. Since the tv is a 120 hz, there are two options. Display the same image twice, which gives a slightly laggy effect, or try to predict the next frame and display it roughly. Which gives the soap feel. 120 hz are kind of off sometimes.

Hi, I don't know for 60 Hz, but it's working for 50 Hz in an european country with a small adapter to support the 230 V :-)Otherwise this product is working flawlessly, I'm very happy with it !

TV and movies aren't recorded or displayed in anything higher than 60hz would cover. In my opinion, the 120hz is the way to go. Just google "240hz a gimmick" to see lots of info on the matter.

I think you mean Hz, not MHz, and it does them all. It even does 4K at 30Hz, which is how I use it.
