Toshiba 42′ TV Says 240hertz on the box

But when i look at supported modes for my display 60 is the highest that appears, i want to use 120 hertz for 3d, please tell me how i can enable this
Answer #1
maybe it’s like 240hz @ a resolution of 640×480 ^^
Answer #2
I think it just creates frames, sort of in between frames from what it receives. So it would create 3 extra frames for every frame that is input. It’s meant to prevent smearing of the image. It cannot display at that frequency, it’s not some high spec PC monitor.

Here’s a good article on the subject:
http://www.enduserblog.com/2009/04/new-240hz-toshiba-regza-hdtvs-aim-to-knock-the-blur-out.html
Standard LCD HDTV screens have a 60Hz signal, meaning that they are able to display 60 video frames per second. HDTVs were able to utilize various technologies such as interpolation (where the video processor compares two frames and then guesses what a frame that sandwiched between them would look like) to bump things up to 120Hz. This improved motion detail greatly diminishes blurriness for sports and action movies as well as for standard DVD playback as well (as the 24-frame ratio of film fits more nicely as a multiplier in 120Hz than in 60Hz, the latter of which required workarounds like the 3:2 Pulldown feature you may have seen listed with HDTVs).
Now, the numbers are doubling with all the majors offering their take on 240Hz. Toshiba's branded version of this spec--referred to as ClearScan 240--combines a 120Hz scan rate with a new backlight scanning technology to create a 240Hz effect. CNet has a bit more explanation from its CES coverage of the ZV650U series launch:
Like LG and Vizio, Toshiba uses the scanning backlight version of 240Hz, which turns the backlight on and off very rapidly. Sony and Samsung use a different version, which interpolates three extra frames for every true frame.

ok well how do i change it to 120 hertz i can only get 60 hertz in the option but for osme games 75 hertz and that works…
Answer #5
Try installing the latest drivers for your gfx card.

You can’t. Only CRTs (usually at very low resolutions) and a few specially-designed LCD monitors can display frames at 120Hz.

That TV can’t accept any more than 60hz input.
As has already been explained above, the vast majority of “120hz” and “240hz” TVs use interpolation and other methods to make up frames and produce that as output. They still don’t accept any more than 60 frames a second input, whereas 3D Vision requires 120 significant frames per second input.

wow well i wasted 1100$…
Answer #10
I don’t see why you’re particularly bothered about having more than a 60Hz refresh rate. That’s more than enough to provide smooth animation for us humans.

what are you trying to input?

i was trying to use nvidia 3d thats pretty much the reason i bought this tv haha
Answer #13
Well there’s a reason why only a few monitors are advertised for it. If you check the official nVidia website it does provide a list of compatible monitors.
