Its the same misinformation that misinformed salespeople and manufacturers dish to people to make a sale as the confusion over upscaling vs. uopconverting.

This may be more of an issue for 3D video sources in the future though and you may need to eventually upgrade the receiver. The 120Hz and 240Hz display technology that is being pushed for right now doesn't necessarily mean the TV can accept a 120Hz/240Hz signal. It just means it can refresh the display at 120 or 240 times per second respectively to provide smoother looking motion. The TV may still be limited to a 60 Hz input signal. The TVs that have the special anti-judder / anti-motion-blur technology typically do real-time video processing to add in-between frames that morph frame A with frame B for example to create a midway frame AB that can be displayed to make the jump between frame A and B less noticeable, especially when the camera pans quickly. In effect you almost simulate a 120 Hz video signal from a 60 Hz video source, kind of like how you can simulate a 5.1 surround sound experience with a 2.0 stereo channel source using Dolby Pro Logic.
