The main purpose of getting the new TV is to get the BEST looking HD hockey possible. I have a shaw HD PVR, the propper hi def cables etc...

and I was told by a few people that the difference 120 hertz makes for watching sports (in specific) is a big difference.

There are a lot of 42" TV's hovering around the $1000 mark (1080p), but it seems anything that's 1080P AND 120 hertz is closer to $1500.

Can anyone comment on watching sports in 120 hertz and if it's a noticable enough difference to shell out the money for?

Thanks in advance fellas.
For sports you will notice a difference (Hockey, Football,Soccer) Movies you notice some difference for example an action bluray movie.

120hz have come down quite a bit i have seen 46 inch samsung for $1800, i payed $2000 for an 47 inch last may

at the end I say shell out a couple hundred bucks for 120hz especially when if watch hockey
