Is this 4k television limited to 30 hz?

[mazeroth]

I'm pretty sure it is but I need to make sure. My local Micro Center is clearancing this guy out and I must say, the picture is stunning. $1099 for a 55" name brand 4k. If this somehow can handle 60 hz. I'm going to fly over there and pick one of their last 4 units up.

I greatly appreciate any input!

It does not appear to be 60hz. It only has component and HDMI connecters.

This TV is not even native HDMI 2.0 and doesn't even have a DisplayPort output. So I guess it is not 60hz but 30hz.

Sorry my friend.

( Check this out, LG are suppose to release an update for the HDMI firmware http://www.avsforum.com/forum/166-l...dmi-2-0-lg-la9700-la9650-4.html#post_24752239 )

Software upgrade won't be possible on these older LG units, it'll be hardware upgrade which I hear could range from $200 - 500.

LG has a newer 55" with HDMI 2.0 built in that is $1700... I'd get that instead, considering the potential cost of the hardware upgrade for the older model.

The input lag is terrible on last year's LG sets also, around 100ms in Game mode. Not sure how the 2014 versions compare.

On the newer LG with HDMI 2.0, how do we get a 60hz 4k signal to it from our vid cards?

Simple as DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter?

AFAIK there aren't any vid cards that have HDMI 2.0 ports available.

Exactly. The only way to get 4k at 60hz is via display port with current cards.

You are right, no way to utilize the HDMI 2.0 ports yet... the DP to HDMI adapters out now only support 1.4a.

That said, GPUs with HDMI 2.0 should be out by the end of this year/early next hopefully.
