Question:

Why does my TV show 120Hz in its settings but the screen displays 60Hz?

Answer:

The Info screen on your TV displays the resolution and frequency (Hz) of the incoming signal, but not the frequency the TV is generating for the image it is displaying.

In the chart above, note that all the incoming signals have a frequency of 60Hz. Even when the Auto Motion Plus(120Hz) feature is on, the Info screen still displays 60Hz.

Never-the-less, if you have turned on Auto Motion Plus, your TV is displaying a picture at a frequency of 120Hz.

Note: The only time the Info Screen displays a different frequency is when it is receiving a 1080p signal at 24 frames per second (FPS).
