I find the interpolation introduced by 120 Hz and 240 Hz LCDs to be sickening and seriously off-putting. I've also yet to see a demonstration where the interpolation didn't seem to speed up and then slow down every once in a while--might be an artifact of the TVs I looked at, but still very strange, indeed. 120 Hz is fine for 5:5 pull-down at 24p (i.e. Blu-Ray), but then you're just stuck with the horrific breakup that's always present when panning (inherent with 24p). I prefer 60 Hz over 24p derivatives myself (both my plasmas will do 72 Hz 3:3 pulldown, and I don't like it).

I see the manufacturers have started a "Hz war" with plasmas now being billed at 600 Hz and the like. Should go nicely with the contrast war currently underway.
