Well, My Parents need a new TV. And from what I understand, an LCD using 120Hz Will have a greater Response time than that of a 60hz. But from what i've seen on 120hz screens is that the picture is moving so much smoother that it looks unnatural.
:argh:
I'm not much of a LCD expert so, would it be a better investment to just get a 120hz?
Or is not enough material optimized for it currently for it to be worth it?
i'm thinking of this one. Which is going to be on sale black friday for 800$

Unless it is a secondary TV, it would be silly not to buy a 120Hz TV. This is why the 60Hz TVs are going so cheaply these days.

Oh really? So, it won't affect 60hz content? It's going to be their primary TV. They had a Panasonic 53' Rear Projection TV but the Convergence ICU's died out and the picture is all out of alignment.
Occasionally I might pop in while they are sleeping or gone and play some games on a new TV when they get one.
Would 120HZ affect that at all?

pro tip: there's barely any noticeable difference between 120hz and 60hz screens. Most people can't tell them apart.

And most 120hz TVs on the market dont support 3d like 'true' 120hz TVs will. Really, the biggest point is to try and cut back on display lag.

Is there a way to get it to display at 60hz? I hate how 120hz makes movies look like they shot it with a video camera ie looking like its shot at 60 or 30 fps as opposed to 24fps.

Most TVs allow you to turn it off, but then you are back to the 'more lag' issues that 120hz tries to cut back on.

Even if you bought those 240hz TV's, when "game mode" is selected, the TV only does 60hz. I think most TV's have custom modes for movies (making it go back to 60hz as well).
Also, i don't see any use for those 240hz TV's, apart from watching sports. Still i think 120hz is fine.

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

I turned the 100hz stuff off on my TV, it looked weird.
