how do you set this tv to show 120 hertz refresh rate?

There isn't a manual setting that I know of. They refresh rate is limited by the quality of the HDMI cable you're using. (At 4k resolution, at least.)

Unfortunately the owners manual that comes with it it's pretty basic, but we have a blu-ray connected and its really good, we are happy with our projector just try to get a good brand of HDMI, but as everybody else said I don't think it's 120 hz.

I set the monitor to 120 hz in Nvidia Control Panel. It reports that the monitor is running at 120 hz in 2D mode.

it should be 60hz. look at panasonic's page http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-L47E50?t=specs. Amazon should have this fixed. I bought it cos I think it's 120Hz

When you press the "Info" button on your remote, the TV will display a box on the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This shows the resolution and refresh rate of the source signal (for example, 1920x1080i @60Hz). Note it is the refresh rate of the source signal BEFORE the TV processes it to either 120Hz or 240Hz.

It depends how one defines the refresh rate. My understanding is the refresh rate is technically 60 Hz, but Toshiba employs their "ClearScan" back lighting technology to raise the effective rate to 120 Hz. An explanation of how this works can be found on Toshiba's forum at http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Televisions-Knowledge-Base/TOSHIBA-ClearScan/ta-p/361268. I have the 32 inch and the 23 inch versions of this product and, in my opinion, the picture is great and handles fast-moving action, such as sports, very well.

It depends on your input signal. Do you use a digital cable box? Mine shows 120HZ. It may also depend on the connection cable and splitters. They may not be the best conductors of the signal.

Andrew, I don't game on this TV and the screen refresh rate is only 60Hz not 120Hz so maybe not.

The monitor does support HDMI connections, but the HDMI standard itself doesn't support the 120hz signal. To utilize the 120hz refresh rate, you need a dual link DVI (DVI-D) cable.

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.

It's 120, however some techies say that in some cases it plays as a 60. This means nothing, it's a great TV

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.

It's the AutoMotion technology. AutoMotion, regardless of how Samsung tries to sell it, is merely an effect and does not produce "true" 120Hz technology. It makes things look artificial. I always say it makes everything you watch look like a cheap soap-opera that was shot on video. Solution: turn off the AutoMotion permanently. And tweak your picture settings. Don't leave it on the factory Dynamic Mode setting. Seriously, this TV looks so much better when you customize your settings and turn off the AutoMotion.

Check the article in PC Mag about refresh rates 240 vs 120. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp

The tv is 120hz in 3D mode, but no tv has support for 240hz in 3d mode yet. everything else can be set to 240hz, games, movies, etc

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.
