No, you can. There should be an option to turn it on or off somewhere in your settings. I usually keep it on for football games, but other than that it makes things look really weird.

You should'nt turn off 120hz, only Motion Flow or Enhancement. Why because a l ot of TV do 5:5 on Blu-ray at 120hz with doesn't enhancement the motion but preserve the 24fps from the Blu-ray

Actually, no you can't. 120hz is the refresh rate of the TV so it's not something you can turn off and on. What makes Blu-rays look weird on a 120hz HDTV is the motion enhancer that's a setting on the TV (MotionFlow, Natural Motion or what have you.) that can be turned off and on.

I absolutely love the motion enhancer myself and so do all of my friends/coworkers. It gives the feeling as if your standing behind that camera watching it all happen right in front of you. I will agree it does suck when it makes it so realistic that you can easily tell when they used special effects(like Harvey Dents face on fire in DK) or even if they did it green screen on a stage but overall i feel it's totally worth it and it will only push the next generation of special effects that much further.

+1 I Love 120Hz with Motion Enhancer Set to high. What are these people talking about TOO CLEAR! I thought that was WHY we got into this High Defenition business in the first place! If it is TOO CLEAR then go back to 480 resolution...cuz 1080P is not for you...

paying extra for a 120htz tv is a waste. Makes the freakn movie look live...like its being filmed right in front of you! The only thing the 120htz is good for is sports...like football. And yes you can turn off the motion flow...just read your manuel or go throught your settings.

It's the green-screen effect!

It's not apparent on animated movies. But the motion-flow during real movies gets really, really annoying. That's why I'm kind of glad I went with the 60Hz for 3-400 bucks less. It definitely helps with movies like Kung Fu Panda though.

Completely disagree with you, more than worth the money. If you have a 120hz TV playing 24p sources such as Blu-ray eliminates the need to apply 3:2 pulldown thus reducing the judder. People always seem to mistake motion enhancer and 120hz as the same but that definately isn't the case. Blame the marketing people I guess. I have my motion enhancer off.
