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.

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.

I couldn't tell, my monitor doesn't support 1080p! In the end I sent it back and bought a 75ft VGA cable and a new 1080p monitor for the same price.

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

Both are supported, however, in order to be able to use the 120hz refresh rate you have to use the DVI connection.

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.

I have the same issue - 60 and not 120 hz, but I do not do video games or watch sports much, so 60suffices me. However if you find out how to get 120, please let me know. --Rabbi Ed

I've read that most boxes / blu players are only capable of transferring data at 60hz, and the 120hz refers to the TV's ability to lace together frames. Therefore, it would be the "automotion" setting that makes it a 120hz frame rate. Not sure if I'm right, but hope this helps.

I used a DVI to HDMI cable and I am getting 1080p.If you video card supports it, you will get 1080p.If you use the vga connector, than maybe 720p is the max?

1080p/60Hz refers to the source input, the TV is telling you that's the signal it is receiving -- and the input doesn't change when 120 Hz is on.

Under the advanced settings on my computer, the refresh rate is set to 60Hz, which is also the only option. I'm running an ASUS GTX670, so I'm guessing that it knows best. Aside from that, I couldn't really tell you. This is with ASUS' video card driver v. 9.18.13.37888 (5/19/14) and the Microsoft driver for Generic PnP driver v. 6.3.9600.16384. I don't know that ASUS has a proprietary driver for the VS229H-P, and Microsoft isn't that great with actually checking for other companies' drivers at this basic of a level -- I just haven't looked for myself because I haven't found the need to check (M$'s driver is dated 6/21/2006, which is absolutely ancient as far as drivers go).

You don't need drivers for this monitor, as soon as you connect it via HDMI it should be recognized. If you want it to run at a higher refresh rate that 60 Hz you have to create a custom driver using Powerstrip. You then create a custom resolution (1920X1080) and refresh rate (I suggest 72 Hz) and create the driver. Then go into advanced display settings/monitor in Windows. Click on Properties and go to the Driver tab, then you'll see update driver option. Select Browse your computer option and select the folder containing the custom driver. Save the driver in case you have to do it again in the future. This is how I got mine to run at 72 Hz and it works perfectly...

If you buy it from me I'll give you the USA native AC/DC adapter and cables. No, these are not capable of running at 120Hz, they're native to just 60Hz @ 2560x1440p resolution.
