Does it provide better picture quality or really make sports scenes smoother?

Does it provide better picture quality or really make sports scenes smoother? Well the answer is yes to this part of your question. You probly already know this, but refresh rate is basically how many times the picture is redrawn on the screen. Higher refresh rates absolutely make sports and high speed video games more fluid and less blurry. The thing is, you may not be able to tell the difference unless you are looking at two TV sets side by side. I would recommend going to Costco or something and seeing the difference for yourself.
Is 120hz worth the price difference over 60hz? Totally up to you... like I said, the best way to decide is to compare the two, and see if you think it's worth the extra dough.

You need at least 120hz to do 3d, so If that's important to you then it's a must. It's also going to make a difference if you are playing extremely high def games on it or watching blu ray movies. Also, if you don't have that great of eye vision don't bother.
