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. Last edited by Bane; 05-29-2010 at 12:23 PM.. |

Yeah, when we replaced (let's call it) the wife's TV and went from 60 to 120 I noticed a big difference, now that we are in the market to replace "my" TV where I watch a lot of sports I was wondering if the same held true for 120 to 240 to justify the price increase or if it was just hyped science tech where you will never notice.

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. ![]() |

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. |

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.

Maybe,but I'm thinking the human eye would never see the difference between being refreshed 120 vs 240 a second.I'm not even sure the brain could process the difference in real time,but I'm always up for seeing something I don't fully undertand.
