Are any of these TVs overclockable to 120hz

Talk about overclocking displays at a higher refresh rate. This includes homebrew, 165Hz, QNIX, Catleap, Overlord Tempest, SEIKI displays, certain HDTVs, and other overclockable displays.

Are any of these TVs overclockable to 120hz

Hey guys, first post and first time ever messing with anything above 60hz, I'm super interested in high FPS, I love how smooth it looks, especially for games and nature documentaries. With that having been said I am looking at some TVs that I am finding on craigslist (except the LG) that display 120hz and am wondering which ones (if any) can accept 120hz input, they are as follows.

Samsung UN50HU8550 - 50in 4K 120hz (http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN50HU8550FXZA)

LG 40UB8000 - 40in 4K 120hz (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-40UB8000-led-tv)

Seiki SE39UY04 - 39in 4k 120hz ( I know you can with this one with the firmware flash from the 50in, but is it A. Safe and B. is it any good, 4k at that price seems sketchy, but hell I can get it for 350 so it doesnt seem bad at all) (http://www.seiki.com/products/tv/SE39UY04-detail.php)

So, if you guys could give me a hand that would be awesome, whichever one I end up going with, if no one else has a thread on it I will have one giving the results and my feelings toward it.

The samsung is probably the one I am most interested in as it is HDMI 2.0 (dat 4k at 60fps yo) but the seiki is probably the most economically viable option at its price point.

EDIT * It should also be noted that the Samsung is capable of 3D, I know 4k TVs tend not to do 120HZ at 1080p but I keep seeing that most 3D TVs will support 120hz so my hopes are high.

Well I am getting that Samsung for a whopping 600 bucks, so im going for it, Ill let you guys know if it works or not at 120hz, but im not expecting much, and even if it does that latency will be brutal I would think.
