There are two important things to understand about video. The first is that you cannot add detail beyond what is already in the source footage, and secondly, that the source footage is never greater than 60 Hz. Movies on Blu-ray players are a 1080p picture at 60 Hz, original footage for movies recorded on film is actually 24 frames per second and is upconverted to 30 frames through a process known as 2:3 pulldown so that the source frames can be distributed and spread across 30 frames per second and then shuffled and combined to 60 frames per second or 60 Hz to match the 60 Hz refresh rate of most TVs (Hertz of Hz is just another way of saying frames per second). When the refresh rate for a TV goes higher than the source footage, it starts to use a process referred to as interpolation to produce a higher frame rate. What the TV is basically doing is creating new frames based on data from the frames that are in the source footage and inserting them between the 60 frames per second. These are images that were not in the original footage, they are images that the TV thinks it should draw between the images that your media is telling it to draw. This is great for motion blur which is when the picture appears blurry when watching fast moving pictures like when watching sports of fast action movies. The panel on the LG - 50" Class (49.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black, Model # 50UH5530 has a 60 Hz panel refresh rate and the TruMotion which is LG's name for the motion interpolation is what is listed as Trumotion 120Hz. We are not sure how this question was answered as you mentioned, but that is what may be causing the confusion as to whether this has a refresh rate of 60 Hz or 120 Hz. Hopefully this helped and didn't confuse things even more...^IFV
