Is 120hz worth the extra $300-$500?

I think the premium here is that it is super thin. 120 hz isn't 500 bucks extra generally

I think this is the Scarlet model (Premuim LG). If you're not a gamer or watch lots of sports, then 120hz wouldn't be worthy. I would spend the same for a 1080P 52"

120hz is for films/movies and eliminating 3:2 pull down you get when trying to display 24fps on a 60hz display.

Games are no more than 60hz and TV broadcast is generally only 30.

My bad then - I'm really learning from this forum.
Thanks

Are we ever going to get to the point where manufacturers list milliseconds of picture delay when using HD and SD signals? According to a commenter on Newegg, it has a 4ms (LCD) response time. Kind of important for those of us that still have SD video game systems like PS2.

120 hz doesn't help gamers enjoy a smoother picture?

maybe from a computer hooked to this screen playing games, but as said above, consoles prolly only deal out 60Hz. Although I could see the 360 and PS3 having the possibility of a firmware upgrade to allow 120hz.

and Krom laughs at your PS2 on a nice LCD.

Too much. You can get the toshi 120hz 42" for $799 at Conn's B&M(if you have one in ur area).
