How can I get refresh rate to 120? It keeps 60 no matter what settings I change it to.

From what I understand comcast only deliveres a refresh rate of 60hz. The tv up converts it to 120 so we are getting the 120 refresh rate of 120.

I don't have this bluray player but I am buying it for my mother as a Christmas gift. Bluray Players are all 1080p24, or 24 Hz, so there is absolutely no point in having the player send a "120 Hz" signal. The 120hz is to be set on your TV ( I have a 40" 120Hz Samsung and a 240Hz Samsung TV. All the settings on my Bluray, Laptop and desktop computers are all set to 24hz which is the native resolution for the film. You will always get a clean picture setting your Bluray to 24hz as apposed to 60hz. The 120hz is refers to the refresh rate of the TV screen not the Bluray Player. Technically a 120Hz or 240Hz TV should also perform well with 30Hz video material and 60Hz video material, but 24Hz is the Holy Grail of film reproduction. Neither the Blu-ray player or the TV has to perform any special processing (read 3:2 pulldown) to display the image at the panel's native refresh rate. This creates an amazingly natural and filmlike experience at home, on an LCD panel. If your TV has any kind of special motion smoothing features associated with the 120Hz (such as AutoMotion Plus from Samsung), I recommend turning it OFF (if possible) when you watch movies for the most film-like experience. This type of smoothing performs best of sports programming and some other video-based sources. I hope this helps.

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

120/240 is just marketing buzz. It's a frame doubler, not truly 120hz. If you send 120 frames per second to the TV, it drops frames just like a 60hz set would. There are definitive tests proving this on the official thread on avsforum.com

Was only able to go up 1080P@60hz by default ... I am using a gtx 670 for the test.I did a custom resolution through nv control panel and it actually go up to 2560x1440 but it didn't look good at all. DVI and DisplayPort seem to have no issues with it.

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.)

You don't. You actually want the refresh rate to match the frame rate of the content

You are very misinformed Watcher. 120hz refers to the panel refresh rate and whether you are watching 30fps video or 24fps movies it still relies on the 120hz refresh rate to display images. As JVAN has shared with us, Plasma TVs don't rely on that technology, it's an LCD thing.

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz

i am having the same problem, I even went ahead and got the high end cables they say works for 600Hz but no change, xbox and ps3 both say 1080 @60Hz

Yes. I had to use NVidia Control Center and make a custom resolution and set the refresh rate to 40Hz, but I do get the full 2560x1440 over HDMI.

Did you download the "latest" driver off of the AMD webite? Try setting your resolution to the highest and check you refresh rate as well

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

Just turn the 120hz (TruMotion) feature off (the TV will still refresh at 120hz, it will just have the stupid TruMotion feature disabled) in the advanced picture options, and your problem will be solved. In addition, if you have a Blu-ray player, set it to output at 24hz instead of 60hz. Now you will have amazing picture quality.

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

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...

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.
