Hello,
I have a LG BD360 hooked up to a LG 37LY95 TV using HDMI. I believe the TV is 50Hz, and it accepts 24Hz/50Hz/60Hz. If the TV receives 24Hz or 60Hz then I think it converts those to 50Hz. I'm in the UK. I bought the TV 2 years ago. I bought the bluray player last week and its updated to the latest firmware using internet connection.
Playing standard definition DVD is great. The player does 2:2 pulldown with 4% speedup. Motion and panning is smooth. TV displays "1080p 50Hz" so I know its receiving 50Hz from the player. I know the film and I know its playing 4% faster. This is great, life is good.
When I play BluRay the problem starts. The player outputs 60Hz! This I really don't understand. It plays at the original film speed. I assume the player is doing 3:2 pulldown. The TV displays "1080p 60Hz". So then the TV must be converting 60Hz to 50Hz. The motion and panning is not right.
The manual for the LG BD360 says it outputs 50Hz, thats what I have ticked in the options (not 24Hz which is the only other choice). There is no mention of 60Hz anywhere in the BD360 manual. Yet it outputs 60Hz !
All I'm looking to do is watch BluRay using 2:2 even pulldown with 4% speedup, so that my TV has nothing to do, and the TV gets native 50Hz input, just like when upscaling standard DVD. Why isn't it doing that?
The really frustrating part is I had the Sony BDP360 before and hit the same problem. I replaced it with the LG BD360 because the LG seemed very clear in the manual that it output 50Hz. Maybe its something to do with the TV then.
All I can think is that since the TV is 60Hz capable, the player prefers to send 60Hz. I've looked through all the options of the TV and don't seem to be able to turn off the 60Hz capability. Is there a dongle or something that I can buy that tricks the player into thinking the TV doesn't support 60Hz, so then it has to send 50Hz ? I'm clutching at straws.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance. Fingers crossed.
