The Refresh Rates of LG Televisions

In November 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against LG Electronics and Best Buy for allegedly falsely representing the refresh rates (i.e., the number of unique images displayed on television screens each second) of LG LED televisions as 120Hz and 240Hz when plaintiffs claim that the actual refresh rates are 60Hz and 120Hz, respectively. (Lara et al v. LG Electronics U.S.A.; Best Buy Co., Inc. et al, Case No. 17-cv-5222, D. MN.)
