I was told by someone that 120Hz flat panels have no big advantage over 60Hz, but then today, as I was at Walmart picking up a Christmas present for myself (Star Trek on Blu-Ray) and I walked past the TVs running the latest Ice Age movie on Blu-Ray and I saw one screen that was what seemed like a LOT better picture. It was almost like a difference between VHS and DVD. I look, and the one that is a LOT better was 120Hz and all of the others in the line up were 60Hz.

Is it really that much better, or is it just that I was looking at a better grade TV vs. lower grade and the better one just happened to be 120Hz?

We were looking at getting rid of the old 27" CRT TV in our living room (my wife's idea) with a 40" LCD, so was going to start looking at Black Friday deals, but if 120Hz really is that much nicer looking like I saw today, I may have to hold off until the 120Hz ones come down a little more in price...
