I still use an ancient CRT for a number of reasons, none of which are relevant here. I could not reliably tell a difference between a 1080p LCD with 60 and 120Hz refresh. I was happy that I couldn't tell a difference because that would save me money. However, in my fidgety way of not letting go of the shopping part of video, I recently went to a boutique shop and saw LCDs with 60, 120 and 240 hz refresh rates. The 240 was clearly better and in fact was easier to see as better in a video with a slow pan of a solid surface. I'm now disappointed because I can clearly see a difference. Having determined for myself that 240Hz is a technology worth paying for, at least for me, I also saw a Vizio LCD with 240Hz and back lit LED (not side lit), and that's the best I've seen from LCD. Is it better than Plasma? I don't know but Plasma is a no go for me in a bright room with lots of reflections. Just my $0.025 cents worth.
