alright mick can ya concede this shit or can ya help me and a whole bunch of others on a class action lawsuit. i mean this would be some blatant false advertising right?
i'd use a better site than best buy but they stopped selling this model over half a decade now and most other retailers stripped it from their website listing. you can still find the remenants of the panel on websites if you search. all of which are listing it as a native 120 hz tv or a native 120hz refresh rate.
i mean shit bro rtings even laid it all out for you and i'll trust those guys over a bunch of used tv salesmen. they done all their tests. they told you it was a native 120hz panel. they told you it would support a 120hz refresh rate at 1080p and they tell you exactly what you have to do to make it work. they even tested the response time at 1080p 120hz. there is nothing on that site that indicates it actually being a 60hz panel when it tells you all over the place it is a native 120hz panel with a 120hz refresh rate. yes it can also use motion interpolation but only if you enable it. it's not forced into the set. it literally can't even interpolate from a 60hz signal at aall for some fucking reason and it tells you right there in their review. they went above and beyond for their review in this particular tv. and everything from all the owners of this panel were saying aligns with what rtings says in their full review, so i have no reason not to trust them.
aside from the display configurations officially supported on the sony website, there's nothing else out there that ever points to this not being a 120hz panel. and even right beside the video signal support on the sony manual it says "Native 120hz with Motionflow XR 960". i'm assuming that 960 is for the 960 hz it can interpolate up to after turning on motion smoothing and cinemotion and adjusting the "smoothness slider" which is how you enable motion interpolation on this particular panel,
my other tv can interpolate to 120 hz. that is a legit 60 hz panel with absolutely no doubt about it but even i'm not able to tolerate the fake 120hz. if the bravia was anything like that i'd be able to tell right away. but if it is, the tv's processor sure does the best fucking job of faking the funk ever known to mankind, even when i have all of the motion interpolation and post processing settings turned off!
but if you're using the word "Native" to sell your display and it cant accept that native resolution or framerate, that's some false fucking advertising and a lawsuit waiting to happen. and i know there's been some kind of hubbub in the past about manufacturers misrepresenting their product. the interpolation shit is a common tactic. they would often market it on their stores as a 120HZ tv, but they couldnt market it as a native 120hz panel, list it as such under the specifications, or claim that it has a native 120hz refresh rate if it simply did not. that would totally be false and misleading. i know about that shit. even in 2017 i knew to look out for that kind of shit.
i mean shit, either this shit has been doing everything its functionally able to do, albeit not given direct support on the sony backend over it, or all of us bravia owners just got the rug pulled under our feet and nobody else has been able to figure it out yet. this shits got me worked up over nothing. but i'm just indicating that everything else points toward you perhaps actually being wrong about something for once mick. i just wish it wasnt this because i've went off way too much over it, and really the only thing i was trying to figure out was why the fuck that it's accepting such an absurd signal that i am pretty much 100% certain that it does not support?
this is completely abnormal for how windows and the nvidia control panel operate. if it doesnt support the signal you'll know right away if you try to plug in a custom resolution that the display cannot handle, that shit will just black screen. it won't play well with it at all. at least it's not supposed to. but that whole 240hz thing has just contradicted everything ive ever known because as far as i know this is not a 240hz panel and there's no way it should have even decided to try to play well with my pc or even make it look like it was. from all of my previous experience either custom resolutions either work right out of the gate or they brick because the display simply cannot operate under those parameters. there's not supposed to be any in betweens here. this goes against everything that i know.
