120hz, pretty decent deal.
i'll take 60hz at 52" for less money.. come one!
120hz is a marketing gimmick right?
I can tell the difference if they're side by side.
@4 I agree also. After comparing them side by side I would prefer the 120hz.
240 Hz is a marketing gimmick, 120 Hz isn't.
The principle reason is that there's a difference in frame rates between video (30 fps) and film (24fps) sources. Standard TVs are 60 Hz, which 30 divides evenly into, but 24 does not. What this means is that a video source merely has to display each frame twice, whereas a film source has to display every third frame three times to match the cadence (other frames are displayed twice). 120 Hz divides evenly into both 30 and 24, so it solves that issue and makes film based motion less jittery.
On an interlaced source, 120 Hz can appear to be smoother, but not entirely convinced that's the case on a progressive source - 60 fps progressive should be more than fast enough for smooth motion.
Lastly, most manufacturers include some kind of "ClearView" processing on their 120 Hz and up televisions that interpolates and processes frames instead of simply repeating them - makes a lot of sources look really weird - I'm not a fan of it.
I got the 46" 60 Hz and I love it. It had a better review than the 120 on cnet.
Honestly the manufacturer of the unit has exponentially more impact on the quality of the picture than refresh rate. But this subject comes down to preference. If you watch a lot of documentaries and sports, 120hz capability usually has a positive impact on the viewing experience. However, during cinematic sequences during movies, sitcoms, dramas, etc., 120hz will affect the picture in a manner that wasn't intended during filming, making them seem more "lifelike". Obviously on a 120hz set you can switch back and forth, but if you don't watch many live-action programs then it may not be worth it.
Sharp's picture quality has been on par with Sony and Samsung in the large LCD market. This is a relatively good deal.
@8 you are so right. I love the "life-like" images that 120hz offers.
