Can TV play 120Hz from a Laptop that has a monitor with 60Hz refresh rate?

[ichigo1000]

I own an Asus G75VX gaming laptop. On the label near the palm rest, it says "nvidia 3DTV play", even though the laptop's monitor itself has no 3D compatibility.

After connecting to the 3D TV (assuming all 3D TVs have 120Hz refresh rate), I tried changing the monitor's refresh rate, but there was no 120Hz option.

Look up the refresh rate (vertical) for your TV. Most are just 60 Hz (55-75)

Where do i check? I don't know the model of my tv. Is there a way to check in settings or something? I have a Samung 50 inch 3D TV.

Look at the manual. It'll give you the model number and the specs. The model number should also be on a label on the TV.

Refresh rate 600? I'm pretty sure thats a typo..

EDIT: orrrrrrr not? wut. This suprised me, My TV is actually 600hz? damn.

How do I get my laptop to run 600hz on my TV? (Possibly 240...)

Your TV has got a native refresh rate of either 120 or 240 Hz. It can do that internally. But externally it only accepts 60 Hz.

See http://www.rtings.com/info/fake-refresh-rates-samsung-clear-motion-rate-vs-sony-motionflow-vs-lg-trumotion - it might actually be 120Hz - 2 lots of 60Hz for 3D

Why is there multiple "motion rates" in the 120Hz section? It's a bit confusing. I'm fine if its 120hz though.

If my TV is indeed 120hz, how do I run 120hz with my computer connected to the TV via HDMI?

 

[i7Baby]

It will only run at 60Hz. But for 3D - two lots of 60Hz. Just plug in HDMI.

 

[Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163]

You can't. But it's likely 120. 240 Hz are more expensive. The TV doesn't need to accept more than 60 Hz. Using the bluray you just set the mode to 24 Hz anyways.

Err.. So its actually 2 seperate 60hz? If the TV is 120hz, why can't it run at 120hz? How do people get games to run at 120hz?

If the TV can only play at 60FPS, can i use 3D with my laptop for games, since 3DTV is labeled on my laptop's palm rest?

 

[Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163]

Monitors can accept a 120 Hz signal, TV's (most) can't. 24 FPS per eye (frame packing) watching a movie. 24 * 5 = 120. It's an even number, unlike on 60 Hz panels, where it's forced to use a technique called 3:2 pulldown. Does your laptop have a 3d blu ray player? From what I can see, it doesn't look like it. Just 120 Hz, which allows for 60 FPS per eye playing games creating the 3d effect. Nvidia 3d glasses are required.

If the TV is 120hz, why can't it run at 120hz? - it's not really 120Hz. Its 2 lots of 60Hz running together and an ad man with a sense of grandeur.

What I know is that my laptop does not have 3D compatibility, as for if i have a blu-ray player or not, I'm not sure. I do have a "DVD multi recorder" though. I need Nvidia glasses? My TV is a Samsung with 3D though.. It came with its own 3D glasses.

Laptop -> TV -> 3D is not going to work. Your native refresh rate on your laptop is 120 Hz. It supports 3D internally, not externally. You are limited to your laptops display and nothing else. You need Nvidia 3D vision kit for this to work. There are 2 models of the Asus G75VX a 60 Hz display (no 3D), and a 120 Hz display (3D).

I have the 60hz one. But why do I have the 3dTV icons labeled on my palm rest then?

 

[Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163]

My guess would be that your graphics card supports it, and that if you connect an external 120 Hz Monitor and installing the Nvidia vision kit it will work.

G75VW, this model works with 3d internally. My mistake for saying your current one does. You have the G75VX.

Ahh.. okay then. So this means that the 3D tv cannot play games in 3d?

Also, since I'm already asking, do you know why the screen does not fit properly via the HDMI port on aspect ratio 16:9? Both screens are 1080p.
