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.

Jedi Master: I have the same concern about one of my Samsung TVs. The screen reads 1920x1080i, 60Hz. I'm aware that in the US, all electricity is at 60Hz, so I wonder why Samsung would have made this spec so prominent on the display, when instead it could have put the refresh rate instead. Any ideas?

120 basically doubles the refresh rate of the images. That is very good especially if you like sports. .. I had a Sony that I returned because it said it was 1080 pixels but it was really only 720... don't you hate being lied to? I do...

BTW...yesterday I was in BB and Sony has just released a 32" XBR9 1080p with 120hz Motionflow technology... and it is up on the Sony Style website.. so much for what the salesman tell you that Sony is not going to produce..But compared to the Sony 32" 1080p 60 hz.. I thought the higher priced model with 120hz looked grainy to me. I really didn't see the $200 difference in the (retail price). Perhaps on Blu Ray disc viewing there is a difference.. GLTA

I don't have a ready answer for you but I perhaps the frequency at which the glasses operate at might not be compatible with your playback device. The glasses operate at 144Hz while many playback devices are still on 120Hz

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.

Jean, I've got a 65" F8000 and I've looked thru the book and in the emanual on the TV and see nowhere does it list refresh rate. That may be a term that gets complicated when you're dealing with Smart TVs. On the Samsung website, it lists a 1200 clear motion rate and the Amazon site tech details say 240 HZ. I can find neither with the pubs that came with it. I can only say that it's a superior picture for action and movement onscreen from my layman's point of view.

Laurence, I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting. jm

I also have this TV. Take magic remote and move all the way to top of screen and it will inform you it is 60hz. I have wondered why. I also think this is the best tv out there. The colors and 3d,or 2d to 3d is awesome.

As the others have noted, the box states 60HZ. I can say that I've run much hi-def content, with no discernible motion blur above and beyond what you'd typically expect from an LCD screen. I haven't gamed however, but I've had the monitor since September of 2012 and it's been rock solid for my purposes.

I wish they'd add this detail to all the 4k's screens. I've heard too many stories about these only supporting 30 fps because they only have hdmi 1.4 or 1.5 or something.

It's not the Panasonic, it's the Samsung. Many people go out and buy these LCD's with 120 refresh rates only to find themselves with the same thing you are talking abouta nearly "too clear" or "soap opera" looking picture. Go out and read the reviews for the 120 refresh sets. Many people find themselves preferring a little extra judder from the 60 refresh than the picture being almost too realistic as you stated; others say it's worth the trade off, it all personal perference. I know for sure the Samsung LCD 600 series are 120 refresh for sure. Being you feed it such a nice clean 1080P signal with the panny and you get the result. Bottom line is that effect is not from your DVD player. It's not the Panasonic, it's the Samsung.

Good info, totally makes sense. Im excited for the 3D and all that but I am also looking forward to the 240Hz in 24" and at the price as there is currently nothing like that now. Will probabaly have to use a different Blu-Ray player for movies to have that smooth look to them as I don't think the PS3 can play movies past 60Hz. Still curious how it looks. I personally like smaller HD screens and am curious how it will look.
