There is no such thing as '120Hz' HDMI cables.
Marketing hype has cables promoted for many things that make no difference in the picture or compatibility.
The only features that require special cables are 3D and Ethernet over HDMI, both of which can be had with HDMI 1.4 spec cables.
The signal sent to the television is going to be 24 or 60 frames per second (24Hz or 60Hz). It is the TV that creates the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate to create smoother motion.
60hz works fine with kinect
Actually plasma screens are in total 600hz but they are divided in 10 subfields, each of which run at 60hz. But in conclusion, 10 subfields of 60hz reduce motion blur almost to zero and look alot cleaner than 1 subfield of 120hz, 240hz, etc.
60hz Works fine I assume, I've got the same TV that i used to play Game cube and that always asks about 60hz or 50hz some times even 40hz! So I assume you can!
Harmonics are a multiple of the fundamental frequency. If the power frequency is 60Hz, harmonics occur at 120Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, etc.
120Hz television takes a standard incoming 60Hz signal and adds images between each of the incoming images. The idea is that the faster image refresh rate makes the viewing experience smoother and more lifelike. To carry out the conversion, a signal processor called an interpolator examines the incoming frames and calculates what the missing image would be if it had been captured by the original camera. It's a complex process and one that doesn't always happen correctly. There are certain images that can catch out most of the frame interpolators. The only way to answer this question is to get to see a 120Hz display and compare it against the same screen running at 60Hz. Look for fast motion and look for fine detail to make a comparison. In some cases, there will be no difference. In others, the image may appear smoother but it may also appear to have some jerky movement. The final decision regarding image improvement must finally come down to the person watching the screen. Note: North America use 60Hz and 120Hz. The equivalent in Europe is 50Hz and 100Hz.
HDTVs have become so cheap that now might be the time to buy one. If you are on a budget a normal 60Hz screen will be fine. If you want to spend more you can shoot for 120Hz screens or even a 3D TV.
in a 60hz system anything that is not a 60Hz sine wave is a harmonic this is caused by non linear devices with 120 volts if a device draws more current at 170V than at 0 volts it will cause current at peak and -peak for a 120hz harmonic in the current If the wiring is not 0 ohms you get funny ringing through the whole system
A standard 60 Hz TV cannot be increased to 120 or 240 Hz due to limitations with the equipment. These higher refresh rate televisions are specifically built this way from the factory and offer no upgrade options for older models.
The cost of a LG 42 inch television on Amazon can vary based upon factors such as what features the television has. A LG 42 inch TV that has 60Hz is about $550. A LG 42 inch TV that has 120Hz is about $500.
Frequency doesn't come into it for normal electrical devices, as long as the voltage matches it will be fine. 50/60hz differences only really affect display equipment.
The standard display rates are 60Hz for North America and 50Hz for Europe. No broadcast material is delivered at 120Hz nor at 100Hz in Europe. There are no plans to move to higher frame rates. 120Hz (100Hz in Europe) is offered as a "flicker free" technology in some high end televisions. The television takes the incoming signal and adds intermediate frames to double the number of frames each second. Whether or not the process offers a better picture is a matter of opinion. Some say that it actually reduces image quality and others will say it improves it. Adding frames will not actually add more information to the image because no interpolation system can add detail that has not been captured by the original cameras. If the view prefers a frame doubled image, that is good enough reason to use it.
LCD: (Liquid Crystal Display) image sharpeness is dependent upon: 1. Resolution capability of the screen 720p, 1080p, etc. 2. Refresh rate of screen- 60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz 3. Contrast ratio, between "black & white"
