The more I think about this the angrier I get, it's one thing to claim better sound from a cable or better signal quality, but to actually claim that a different cable is required because the DISPLAY is 120Hz...

If Shaw told me that I had to buy faster Internet because I had a 24" monitor, wouldn't that be illegal?

TVs accept 24Hz or 60Hz signals. No consumer TV accept 120Hz video signals, I'm sure of that. And no video source comes in at 120Hz, unless you hook your computer up directly and set the refresh rate that high, but it won't work because the TV doesn't support it anyway.

Which Best Buy was this, Sunridge or Deerfoot Meadows?
