120hz vs 240hz?
The price difference between 120hz to 240hz LCD TVs is at least a few hundred in the 46" range.
I understand there is a real difference between 120hz to 240hz in how fast it will refresh but for those of you who have (or had) both is it that noticeable in the "real world" watching sports\auto racing etc? |
Paging Hamas.
I'm not terribly knowledgeable on the subject, but my understanding is that the price difference between 120 and 240 isn't worth it. Now, IMO, there's a HUGE difference between 60 and 120. I'm not sure I'd want a 60 if someone gave it to me. This post brought to you by oxycodone and moderate knee pain. |
120 Hz means that the still pictures are refreshing at 120 times per second while the stat 240 Hz means that they are refreshing at 240 times per second.
I have both in my house and to me there isn't a whole lot a "noticeable" difference if any that I can tell TBH. |

I have 2 55" lcds.One is a 120 and one is a 240 (bought them 2 years apart just FYI) and I honestly can't see the big deal.Maybe my eyes are old,or I'm just not watching the right stuff to make the difference clear cut.:shrug: |
Get plasma. :)

I don't know if this is still the case, but 240 HZ used to be fake.
They would split the screen into 4 panels that each refreshed on their own at 60 HZ each and called it 240 HZ. You want to make sure thats not the case. |

Anyone think these 3dhdtv's and 3dblurays are going to last? I saw one with avatar on it the other day, looked incredible. DIdn't need glasses

Direct TV now can provide 3D images, so I do think it's the future. |
I have a 240 Hz TV, but there's really not much of a difference. The most important thing is to get a 120, not only for reduction in blur and judder (and better TVs have ways of mitigating this), but also to watch Blu-Ray in 24 FPS without the need for 3:2 pulldown.

If you to watching a baseball game, probably not. But with something like Avatar (and what they have planned for the future of cinema), probably so. But it sounds like you're set, either way. :thumb: |

There are a lot of things I HATE watching in 120 and prefer 60. It can tend to make things look weird and move oddly. Don't really know how to describe, just take the "silver screen" effect of hollywood away and makes it look like a soap opera...

I'm going to get a new TV soon.
I have a 60 HZ 42" Phillips LCD HDTV that I bought for $1200 a few years ago. It would probably cost me $500 now. I'm not sure if I should go bigger (YES), but I cant go too expensive. 120 HZ at least, and maybe 46"? I wonder whats the least expensive good TV following my criteria. Also, I don't care if its LCD or Plasma. |

From what I understand only Samsung and Sony have a true 240hz tv. That was the case in 2009. 2010 models may be different. I think the biggest difference is between 60 to 120 also, but there is a difference between 120 and 240. Most people won't see it.
