More LG 32" Tomfoolery 2010 LE5300? 2K8 32LG70 120HZ

Hi,

Just bought and haven't opened a Canadian LG 32LE5300.

Again being misled that is 120HZ also finding out in this forum that there are IPS and non IPS versions.

But it looks like the same model number on different countries web sites (all from the same lg.com site) indicate different specs.

So the UK one: http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/...v-32LE5300.jsp says 100HZ "TRUMOTION"

And the Canadian site says: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/tv-audio-vid...v-32LE5300.jsp says 120HZ "TRUMOTION"

When this happened in 2008 they reprinted the manuals and updated the PDF's and that was that...

I wish there were global laws to catch these kind of criminals when they commit fraud and white wash it and then do it again. (Not implying that LG falls into this category).

Help again to any techie TVheads that can provide the real answers seeing that manufacturers can't give an accurate answer. (Oh, I know these are country specific models). The attached sticker from LG even lists a bogus web site that doesn't redirect... http://www.lg.ca but it does say assembled in Mexico...


Help....

Frank

When you realise that Trumotion and "more hertz" are just total stupidness anyway, you probably won't be disappointed. Sure they should not sell a set saying it has a feature it doesn't but a lot of people turn off/never use that crap anyway.

Nonsense. Most people use Truemotion and AMP on Samsungs. In polls taken here both have majority approval ratings

So the fact that "most people use Truemotion and Amp on Samsungs" as taken from a sample of people on AVS (which represents only a relatively small number of sets sold) means that there are no people that turn such features off on Samsungs and all other sets for that matter?

Some do turn off the feature, but the vast majority of info available (here, independent industry reviews and consumer reviews on various sites like Amazon and Best Buy) indicate that people like the feature. You call it "crap" which is hardly scientific just your opinion. At least I can point to various data points.

Since you haven't opened the box yet how do you know that it's native refersh rate is not 120Hz as advertised and offers both frame interpolation and 5:5 Pulldown options when receiving 24fps content.

By the way, anyone who has done much research at all knows that European TVs use the 50hz/100hz standard while those sold in North America are 60hz/120hz/240hz.

Agree, and to suggest some type of conspiracy is ridiculous - OP should know the technical facts before posting something like this.

Virtually all N. American Panels are assembled in Mexico and Canada is included in N. America and you can't use math that European broadcasters use.

Our broadcasting systems are different NTSC for N. America and PAL for Europe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC hence the math the different but similar panels use and there's no conspiracy to misrepresent anything in that respect.

That website OP listed is simply their Canadian Address so whats the big deal? MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING!!!
