LG Trumotion 120hz vs Sharp Aquomotion 240hz?

• Hi Elias, LG WRman Greg here!

  It would perhaps surprise you, but at present, there is no consumer grade LCD TV that can accept a 120Hz signal! In effect, this means that all TVs can work at a minimum standard refresh rate of 60 Hz. However, it becomes necessary to increase the refresh rate in some cases – such as fast paced sports – to get rid of motion blur on LCD panels. The mechanism to increase the refresh rates employs various ways – such as generation of virtual frames and backlight – and remains essentially same in principle even for different brands. However, different brands chose to name it differently – for example, LG Smart TVs have TruMotion. The refresh rates usually increase in multiples of 60 – so you may get 120 Hz, 240 Hz or even 480 Hz in some TV models. Again, to give a example, LG LM8600 has a refresh rate of 240 Hz.

  LG WRman Greg, out!

• I think it's important to note that TV's with an actual 120Hz panel can properly display 24Hz movies while 60Hz panels can not display them without judder. Yes, above and beyond that, 240+ ratings are software or backlight pulsing tricks and the numbers vary wildly with even 240 numbers thrown out there for TV's with 60Hz panels... luckily TV companies are being a little more transparent these days and it should be easy to determine through searching the TV panel's true refresh rate. So yes AquoMotion240 is better than TruMotion120 as each TV's true refresh is half that in the name: 60Hz on the LG and 120Hz for the Sharp... Be careful as LG does use TruMotion240 for some 60Hz panels as well so do your research to find each TV's true refresh.

  What would seem to be better.

  LG's Trumotion 120hz enhances the refresh rate, which its unclear if its from actual 60hz enhanced or doubled to 120hz, or if its actually 120hz and then enhanced to ?

  While Sharp Aquomotion 240hz is actually from 120hz refresh rate to doubled using...

• If you are the innovator type and will be buying another TV in say a couple of years, because of the slim difference between the two you should consider buying 120 hz. On the other hand, if you plan to use the TV for a longer period of time you should consider 240 hz. In two years another TV generation will be on the market and 240 hz will be standard for all high end TVs as will additional features not currently available. Incidentally, I recently witnessed a demo between the new Samsung LED w/240 hz and a Sony XBR-9 LCD. (I'm a Sony guy.) Considering picture quality only, the Samsung blew the Sony away.

• It's simply the refresh rate of the panel, Sony even has a 960Hz panel at the moment, however LCD sets (whether CCFL or LED) still need motion estimation/compensation circuitry to acheive 1080/1080 motion resolution and sadly this introduces artifacting, the best LED sets are still only seeing around 600/1080 motion resolution. Nothing beats a good plasma for fast-moving scenes and even refreshing the screen at 60Hz plasma will still be more accurate than an LED at 480Hz.

  No matter what the refresh rate of your panel, you're better off finding the "motionflow" settings in the TV and setting them to OFF, you'll get a more accurate picture unless of course you love the look of soap operas.
