Ok all, I have seen similar questions on this forum. However none that have discussed a 120hz panel tv. I have seen several with 60hz tv's with "fake" 120hz setups. The (fake) 120hz setups that slide frames in to increase from 60 -120 are almost always on 60hz panels. Which means that if you compare a TV that has a 120Hz of real refresh rate (120hz panel) vs a 120Hz (fake), the real 120Hz is most likely better.
My question: why is it that when I connect my true 120hz tv (it has a 120hz panel and NOT a 60hz panel) I only get options to 60p & 60i in my computer's resolution settings?
My TV is a Sharp LC-42LB261U
For some more info regarding how TV mfgs dupe consumers, take what Samsung does for example:
A refresh rate is how many times per second the image can change on the screen. A higher refresh rate basically means that when the scene moves fast, you will see less motion blur.
Samsung advertises (120hzCMR)
The Clear Motion Rate metric was invented by Samsung (seems like a marketing gimmick), to represent better the clarity of movement. The refresh rate alone isn't sufficient to represent the motion blur, so on top of it they added the image processor rate as well as the back-light speed. Samsung is often misleading because it will sometimes only display the CMR instead of the real refresh rate of the panel. This makes it a lot more confusing when comparing TVs across brand, where you better compare the real refresh rate.
