What I find strange in this increasing of the Hz (and there was a TV introduced that is 480Hz!) is that films are 24fps, and people don't complain.

I can understand why 120Hz is appealing (it avoids the whole 3-2 pulldown, movies ar 24fps and TV at 60fps both divide evenly into 120), but anything more just seems like bigger numbers for bigger numbers' sake.
