Uhhhh, no. Its an LCD, and LCDs still have issues with poor motion handling. You have to get to true 120hz with frame interpolation or quasi-240hz with strobing before you eliminate the inherent problems with LCD technology on high contrast fast action scenes. I can't imagine watching a soccer match at 30hz for example.... *shudder*

Your comment doesn't make sense since sports broadcasts are generally 720p60 and this TV can easily do 720p at 120.

I'm also curious about this. Could you take a pic or something to explain what you're talking about?

First two images are at 4k, the last one is at 1440p. Please pardon my potato phone pictures.

If you zoom in on the text you can see some fading around it at 1440p that isn't there at 1080p/120hz or 4k/60hz. It isn't very noticeable in games or movies, only on text really, it just not as sharp, almost slightly blurry.

Don't throw facts around like they mean something! Pffft!

I've watched plenty of movies on this LCD panel that was designed as a TV first. It's great that you can plug a computer in to it. Sure. But I have yet to see any issues watching 4k movies on it. Maybe a tad bit of motion blur here and there, but that's it.

It's a TV ffs. Go drop $!000 on a 34" 4K monitor if that's what you want to use it for.

My response was specifically regarding 30hz being good enough for LCD TVs, since the source footage is 24fps. My point is that the source footage isn't the issue, and the reason for 120hz and 240hz isn't because the source footage sucks, but because LCD technology sucks and this is a bandaid to fix the bad motion of your typical 60hz sets... yet alone trying to tolerate 30hz on a LCD panel.
