LG 47LM7600 shows at the top right of the screen 720p 60hz ,is this correct for cable tv,I thought it was supposed to be 240hz television.

This is a native120hz panel that uses "scanning backlight" tech to achieve 240hz.. It doesn't matter what signal you feed it, it will still output a 240hz rendering. The 60hz you see in the top right info bar is simply the frequency/frame rate from your NTSC broadcast from your cable box/DVR or over the air signal. IN England it would say 50hz. All that aside, pay no attention to the top info bar if this has you worried. If you play a Blu Ray, it will say 1080p24 (assuming you have your Blu Ray sending your TV 1080p/24) This is really nothing you need to concern yourself with. The info bar ONLY displays the signal you are feeding the TV and NOT what the TV is putting out. The TV will ALWAYS put out a 1080p signal at either 60hz, 50hz or 24fps depending on your source. The 240hz is the screens REFRESH RATE and has nothing to do with the input or output signal. TO understand this further you can find useful info on both Wikipedia and the AVS forum among other places. Do not worry, this TV IS 240hz (120hz with scanning back light doubling what you see) Cheers! Marty G

I'm sorry, but 120Hz looks like poop. It gives movies and TV a weird shimmer about it. I'm well aware of why this occurs and what is happening within the TV, but this is not something I need to just "get used to". I want my movie to look like it did when I saw it in the theaters (obviously scaled down a tad, but that's a different topic), but 120Hz give all the fast movement in the picture an unnatural feel, and looks nothing like the original. I may be alone in my stance, but 120Hz just doesn't sit right with me or my eyes, and it never will.

What the heck I purchased because one of my criteria was that it have a 120Hz. If it is 60 then that is totally false advertisement n I will investigate. I have always had superb experience w amazon so this is a concern.

All LG models are 60Hz Native refresh rate. Then different models have software that simulate higher refresh rate (120, 240, but it is nor real). Spurce: LG website

Yes basically, it was advertised being 120hz, but when i got it, its only a software upgrade that makes them able to say it's 120hz, but on the screen it says 60hz even in cinema mode

It's 60hz. There is no LCD TV on the market that will display material from a 120hz input signal (e.g., some computer video cards). However, there are some LCDs that will take a 24/30/60hz signal and up-convert it to 120hz. Samsung's model is the LNT-5271F.

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.

It's 240Hz, you can verify this on LG website, http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55LA9650-led-tv

You are exactly right. Information posted by many customers re: 120HZ on this set is often incorrect and oftentimes the manufacturers themselves do not make the specs clear (carefully read the 120hz info on the new LG Scarlet for a good example - the 120hz info is buried re: availability on different sizes). I would appreciate it if Amazon would correct this chart to help purchasers make more informed decisions and to maintain a higher standard than other websites. Thanks for your post -

Honestly, my cable actually looks different. Mine says "new higher performance" and mine is labeled 17.8 gbps. The one u are looking at must be 15.8 gbps. I See it also says it on the box. I would try to get the one that I have, it does look different, it's new higher performance model. Chances are unless your tv is above 240hz than I wouldn't worry too much.

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

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.

No, its not! I got Samsung 60Hz(120 true motion rate) TV, put it next to LG 120Hz(LG doesn't show true motion rate anywhere, as a matter fact it wouldn't even say on a box or in the menu that is 120Hz!!!) and I was watching them next to each other for 3 days, even tried to change the setting ... and let me tell you-Samsung 60 Hz much better, sharper picture than LG 120Hz!!!

I had tried this TV but the 120hz wasn't fast enough for me. I returned it and purchased the 240hz model 7100. It's more expensive, but the picture looks much better. I'm very happy with it. It will give you the effect you mentioned.

I agree, Tiger Direct has it listed as a 120hz TruMotion as well: LG 47LM4600 47" Class LED 3D HDTV - 1080p, 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 120Hz, 4000000:1, HDMI, USB, 4x 3D Glasses Included, Energy Star. I confirmed it for sure on LG website: http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM4600-led-tv/technical-specifications
