Does this TV actually have a refresh rate of 120 Hz? I know it says so on this amazon page but there are nothing on the LG website about it

I just purchased a Samsung UN40H5203 - a 60hz refresh. I am enjoying the rich color, but I find that for sports - football and basketball so far - the 60hz can't refresh fast enough to eliminate what seems to be a pixelation where movement is fastest. Otherwise, not issue. Perhaps if I were looking for a TV with a screen as big as the Berlin Wall I'd want the 120hz, but when I bought I saw a $200 difference between otherwise similar Samsung sets. Not worth the difference.

According to the manual it is only 60 Hz vertical refresh rate. However, it is a very nice smart tv. The speakers are slightly better than most tv's these days. Unless you are a fickle videophile you will like the tv.

This TV supports 120 Hz. I have used this TV for regular viewing with cable TV, with a gaming console ported through a high speed HDMI cable, and as a PC monitor ported through a high speed HDMI cable and a PC GPU. I never had any issues with image/video quality.

I don't have that model no. I have a 47LV5500 which I've had for several years and am completely satisfied. I'd suggest going to the LG site or read the description and the comparison section at the lower part of the Amazon page for the LG tv you are asking about. They compare all models and I made my decision for the LV5500 because of the higher contrast and refresh rate. one tv might have a contrast of 400,00 while a model for $100 more is rated at 4,000,000. that's picture quality and I'm satisfied with the LV5500.

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.

I got this Item (LG SMART LA6200 42 Inches). I paid for it like a 120 Hz, but now I discovered that is only 60 Hz. Can I give good references about LG products?

Have had thw A750 for 1 month. Everything about it is great. Best picture I've ever seen. Halo Effect is negligable and the screen is not glossy enough to use as a mirror. I do have one question: When the TV come on, the screen says resolution of 1980 x 1080i @60hz. Why does it say 60 hz when the 120 hz is set to its highest?

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.

"Who Dat" is correct in his statement on 2-23-13 that this is a 120hz with the 240hz clear/full motion plus. We were fooled by the Samsung advertising on the same TV which stated 120hz clear/full motion on the box. It was only 60hz. We don't use the 240hz "plus" function. We don't see the benefit.

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

Amigo, I can guarantee you that 2 months to get this TV, the picture quality is very good, and if it is 120hz, I see it buy =D

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.

i have contacted amazon and panasonic they both said the refresh rate is 120hz. the 60 hz is the electrical supply it needs to be plugged in to.

The refresh rate of 120 hz is for the benefit of this TV's 3D function. Otherwise, according to this article, higher refresh rates don't make sense.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp update: I found this Samsung article on their Clear Motion function. http://www.samsung.com/us/article/clear-motion-rate-a-new-standard-for-motion-clarity

Great TV so far. Refresh rate is 240Hz but it really isn't much difference from 120. I play Xbox One on there. Very clear so with PS4 graphics will look even better

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.
