- cyberealityGrand ChampionThere are, but only certain models and you usually have to do research to find ones that can accept a 120Hz signal from a PC. Many TVs use 120Hz+ display panels, used for "smooth motion" features, but still can only accept a 60Hz signal. In addition, you are more likely to find new TVs in 4K resolution, but I don't believe 4K 120Hz it typically possible (with HDMI 2.0) due to bandwidth limitations. However, some of these 4K TVs can do 120Hz at 1080P resolution.

Yup, TV advertised specs can be really misleading. I bought my last TV thinking that I could drive it with my HTPC at 120 Hz (since that was listed in the specs), but it turned out that I couldn't. Stupid interpolated smoothing mode!- Cpt_CustardAdventurerYou will be better off buying a monitor and watching TV on it. TV specs are very confusing and misleading.
- cyberealityGrand ChampionHonestly, if you want high refresh, get a monitor. There are affordable options. Unless you really want the larger size of a TV, the resolution, picture quality, smoothness, etc. will all be better on a decent monitor,
- FazzHonored VisionaryI'm after something bigger then a monitor. After playing in VR and using a projector for movies, I just find a monitor far to small. I have a Benq 27" monitor that does 144Hz, but not only do I have to wear glasses to see what's going on, but it kind of sucks now.

Cool, they tested my LG 65" OLED and it can do 120Hz at 1080p. :)
Not that I intend to use that, my main pc monitor is a 27" Acer Predator with 144Hz and Gsync.

1440p? And what a pleasure they are.

Yep. Damn nice monitor. It was an upgrade from a 22" Dell.- FazzHonored Visionary@cybereality - Can you explain why this television has crap reviews on amazon when it's supposed to be a good gaming monitor on that link you gave here? Also, can this television do 120Hz from an external source like a PC? Cheers
