We know this television's post-processed signal is capable of 120Hz, but I've heard 4K panels are can only accept a 30Hz signal as input?

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.

I don't know what the panel is but the tv is 240Hz. It is the most clear picture I've ever seen.

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.

As of today, no 4K TV manufacturer has claimed a 240HZ refresh rate. Surprisingly even cnet has miss spec'd this TV as having 240Hz. Nowhere in the specs of this TV does Samsung claim 240Hz. Samsung advertises this TV as 1200 clear motion, which, to be honest, is a made up number and all TV manufacturers will be using some made up marketing number this year on their TV's. So, for now, there is no 240Hz 4K TV's. That being said, don't let that stop you because technically there is so little difference between the 120Hz and 240Hz effect on liquid crystals that no one can tell the difference even if they say they can. The motion improvements on these TV's all takes place in the video processing, frame creation and strobing back lights.

The cable is able to upconvert to 4K if the input signal from the device is at 1080p 24 Hz or 30 Hz. If your cable box is outputting at 1080 60Hz, it won't be able to upconvert to 4K.

The newest "dual-mode" DisplayPort standard (sending HDMI/DVI signal from the DP port, which passive adapters like these depend on) only goes up to HDMI 1.4 anyway. So, in other words, for all practical purposes, this adapter is limited to HDMI 1.4 because there are no computers that output HDMI 2.0 over DP.With some computer-side settings which may or may not be available on your particular computer, it can do 4K@30Hz.

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-tv I'm happy with my purchase though, 60hz, or fake 120hz, it still looks great to me. (grabbed the 55lm6700 a few mos. ago)

You have to force it in your video card drivers. However, I wouldn't bank on hitting 120Hz. 90Hz might be a more realistic goal.

I had it hooked up to my media center PC set at 4k and it would only do 30hz max.

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.

could be, i'm a member of avs and some of those ppl look for imperfections. i was looking at the samsung 4671 series with the 120hz output but avs scared me away from that display with all the issue's it has (TBE and sudder). i'll wait a year or 2 so samsung can get rid of the bugs.....another thing to consider when comparing the 2500 to the 3000 is the 2500 has an 8bit panel vs the 3000 having a 10bit...its your own preference though.

This TV can not take any input signal greater than 1920x1080. It will internally upscale the incoming signal to the panel's 2560x1080 resolution, but there is no way to feed that resolution directly into the set.The reason for this is that the input line buffer of the internal scaler chip can only hold 2048 pixel, and therfore can not handle any resolution with a width greater than that.

I had tried this TV but the 120hz wasn't fast enough for me. I returned it and purchased the 240hz model 7100. It's more expensive, but the picture looks much better. I'm very happy with it. It will give you the effect you mentioned.

No the tv is 60hz and only operares at 1080i.that's false advertizement and they wouldn't let me return it. Please don't purchase it!

I'm not quite sure, but I've heard there have been many problems achieving 120Hz with and HDMI cable. If I were you, however, I'd get display port, it's basically the future. Regardless of that, this monitor is very, very, nice. It's responsive, it looks beautiful, and was rather easy to setup. Definitely worth the price.

Hdmi 1.4 will not support 4k @ 60hz Hdmi 2.0 is suppose to but this is DP to hdmi 1.4

Great question and also note that this TV has a 12 ms response time panel. That's what I read somewhere.
