Motion handlingX-Motion Clarity. Current Sony firmware adds 4K 120 Hz signal support; the original video-signal table still lists 4K only up to 60 Hz.

RTINGS explicitly confirms a native 120 Hz panel. Maker UK input table supports 1080p 100/120 Hz, but 4K only up to 60 Hz; native panel refresh is distinct from 4K input support.
