Why does Photoshop change the resolution from 120 to 72 when saving?

Question

I'm trying to create signs for a client who has a TV screen that can only display images in 2500x5670 pixels at 120 resolution. If I supply an image that is 72 resolution, it doesn't work.

I create a new template in Photoshop at the right settings, with 120 set as resolution, but then when I save the image as a JPG... the end result is an image with 72 and it doesn't work.

I've tried to alter all the settings - turning resampling off, no optimisaton, 100% quality and so on - nothing seems to work.

Help?

Also check your file handling options. Mine look like this:

Hmm. It's working properly for me. I created a new document with 120 resolution. Added something to it. Saved it as a jpg. Opened the jpg and the resolution remains at 120. Are you saving to the same jpg type as seen here? What do your jpg options look like?
