It's great quality, but I think a little jutter and noise gives you a better cinema experience. 120hz can of course be turned off on most sets though.

It's great for sports however, as you lose the motion blur....which in hockey is not a minor irritance.
The 120Hz though can show a 24Hz movie image properly, while a 60Hz panel has to do a 3:2 pulldown on the image.

I've never seen a 120Hz panel showing a 24fps HD movie though so I guess I can't personally say if it's better, just going by what others have reported.

But what you say makes sense.
