120 Hz.......

I swear Hdtv's just wont quit getting will they...I looked and looked, and finally thought i'd found a nicely priced Sharp 42 inch 1080p beauty. I then go to best buy one day, and see this New Samsung that just looks...alot better than the rest. I look down at the little card full of info, and see "120 Hz" written next to one of the bullets of info. Hmm...I then look at the Sharp i "liked" and didnt see this. Looked around at many others and this 120 Hz description didnt appear on any others cards aswell. I then learn through one of the employees that the named brands are bumping the tv's up to 120 frames per second. Im probably a little late in learning this 120 Hz business about new tvs, but it REALLY makes a difference in my opinion, and kind of piss's me off in that just to get a 120 Hz tv, its like 1000 dollars more than the ones without this technology. I'm just wondering, that if anyone has one of these Sonys, or Samsungs, with 120 Hz, is it really worth the money to fork over, or am i good with a 1080p Sharp. The one i wanted was the Sharp 42'' Aquos LC42D64U, for about 1500. The cheapest 120 Hz tv's I can find are the 40 inch Sony XBR, and Bravia's for like 2400.

Do you even know why you want 120Hz? All the content from your cable company is either 60fps, progressive or interlaced. Your game consoles are 30fps, 60fps i/p.

The only reason right now that 120Hz matters is for displaying films at their original fps (24, which goes into 120 evenly) so as to avoid the judder inherent in 3:2 pulldown. This is important, but unless this is the reason you're so dead-set on 120Hz, which I doubt because you didn't mention it,you might want to consider if you were blindly going along with marketing hype.

Yup, and some people complain the 120hz is making movies look unnatural........X360PS3AMD05
