How can i get my Blu-ray player to play at 240 hz?

I just recently bought a a Sony Blu-ray player. I have already had a samsung 240 hz tv. When i play a movie such as 300 on the blu-ray player, it only says that it's on 24hz. I'd like to be able to play it at a full 240 hz. Or does it not matter what the input signal says and its just the tv? Thanks in advance.How can i get my Blu-ray player to play at 240 hz?
240 Hz is mostly fiction. LCD screens do it because LCD's struggle to switch fast enough for action movies. It is a way of telling the consumer that this TV plays action movies really well. The only thing that does 240 Hz is the TV itself. Movies, on the other hand, are filmed at 24 Hz. The only way to get them to run at 240 Hz is to use interpolation to artificially generate 9 non existent frames between each real one. It is NOT worth doing so thy don't.



Not only is there no material that runs at 240 Hz, there is no material at 120 Hz. As for 1080p 60Hz, while possible, I do not know of anything that does. Programs on your TV are broadcast at 1080i or 60 half frames. This resolution is no worse then anything else as your LCD panel MUST capture both halves of the frame, then integrate them before displaying. So, while your signal is 1080i, the TV MUST make it 1080p for display. That is, it takes 60 half frames and makes 30 full frames out of it. This is true for both Plasma and LCD. In some ways, it is better then your Blu-ray movies in that it has 6 more frames per second. However, Cable and Satellite both compress the crap out of the signal, far more then Blu-ray movies.



The really short answer is, don't worry about it.How can i get my Blu-ray player to play at 240 hz?
There are no movies that are produced in 240HZ, that's only for LCD and LED tvs for the refresh rate.

I don't think that the movie states 24HZ, it probably states 24 frames per second.
