How can you check "refresh rate"?

    So I bought the LG LV355u but I'm curious about the refresh rate. LG's site say it is 100hz yet Power City and most other websites say it's 50hz.

    Is there a way to check it?


    There's no option I can find in the menu for refresh rate or "motion control". However, there is a "Real Cinema" option, is this to do with the refresh rate to switch between that "soap opera" look and the more natural frame rate you get with 24fps?

    OP, you're tv is 50Hz. Look at the way the specs are phrased on the LG site; 'Motion Clarity Index'. Thats a load of marketing rubbish that's only after appearing in the last year purely with the intention of conn'ing customers. samsung are at the same thing with their so called 'Clear Motion Rate' as seen here. Except Samsung are clearly doing a better job at it because Power city and a lot of other websites list it as a 100Hz set when it just plain isn't. I actually recommended that tv to a relative recently, even though i knew it was a 50Hz set. When i turned it on, it doesn't even have its fake 100Hz mode on, which shows how much faith even Samsung themselves have in their system.. Turning it on, unsurprisingly, made the picture quality far worse

    Its a fairly worrying development if i'm honest because it serves no purpose whatsoever other than making customers believe, before they buy,that their telly is higher specc'ed than it actually is. And if you look at the way its done, you'l see that the manufacturers are doing nothing wrong, they don;t mention frame rate ever, its just inevitably when people see 100Hz written on a tv box, they will think it refers to the frame rate.
