I turned the 100hz stuff off on my TV, it looked weird.
120hz Refresh Rate will be a better decision rather than a setback?

Yeah, but from what i know (not much), as soon as you select "game mode" it goes back to 60hz.

240hz is better then 120hz, so at least the 24fps films are displayed better.

That will be the 100ms+ of latency the extra image processing creates. You literally have to turn everything off or use game mode to play games. If gaming is it's primary function, it's pointless buying a 100hz+ TV.

My Samsung does 120hz and I hate it. I had it on for about 2 hours when I first got it and couldn't take it and turned it off. Like stated above it makes video looks like it was shot with a handheld video camera, to me at least.

Heh, it's a CRT and I can turn it off luckily.

A 120hz TV in Currys had visible lag behind the other TVs. When the scene changed, it was visibly changing later. Might be an issue for games

Doh, I should have read the thread first. My apologies. If your parents don't play games then there is no issue. All these TVs do is take the normal refresh rate and make it *look* smoother. Obviously the 'inbetween' frames dont really exist so it must be some sort of clever motion blurring or frame mixing going on.
In my opinion, they are horrid. Like I said, I saw one in Currys playing a film It made the film look like a docuentary 'behind the scenes' thing; it was too smooth, it lost all it's atmosphere.
Best thing to do is go to a shop, and have them look at the TVs running different materials. See which they like the image of the most.

Yeah, from what i've seen of the 120hz I didn't care for the smoothness of the picture but to them. It's a bit different I think.

The original purpose of 120Hz is that film, video games, broadcast, and video sources (24Hz, 30Hz or 60Hz) all divide evenly into the number 120. In other words, they can all display 100% correctly WITHOUT creating any additional "fake" frames. For example, each frame of film from a 1080p BluRay source will flash 5 full frames. 5x24=120. With 60Hz you'd get "half" frames unless the set switches to 48Hz during film, which some sets do.
This smoothing business is something else that the manufactures created as just another "feature" that creates fake "smoothing" frames. But in almost all cases it can be turned OFF, set to ZERO, or some other custom setting to make it go away. In addition to that there is "GAME" mode on most displays that will also eliminate it along with most of the input lag, but may introduce other unwanted factors.
Research, research, research. I'd recommend searching whatever model number you're considering at avsforum.com and dig deep.
