“Does this TV seriously have a 60hz native refresh rate? What?! I thought 120hz 4k was part of the HDMI 2.1 standard. No way I'm buying it for $500 if this is the case.”

Yes. If you want a native 120hz refresh rate, step up to the standard P-Series Quantum. And the current HDMI 2.0 standard doesn't have enough bandwidth data to support eARC, VRR, and ALLM at the same time, so it sort-of makes sense to use HDMI 2.1 on this TV. Plus I personally don't think there will be a ton of 120fps games for a few years to come.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just because something is part of the spec does not mean that it is present in everything using it. The port has the capability, no display has to run at that. There are plenty of monitors that have 2.1 ports or USB-C with similar bandwidth that only run at 60hz.

The “open cell” or “native” refresh rate describes only the glass panel’s ability to refresh the image on the screen, without taking into account the benefit of the scanning backlight. The “native” refresh rate for this TV is 60Hz. VIZIO’s TVs have a Dynamic Motion Rate, which better describes the TV’s ability to achieve motion clarity through the use of its glass panel and scanning backlight. The Dynamic Motion Rate for this TV is 120.
