AdventWolf, you own a PS3 which means you'll be playing PS3 games and eventually Bluray movies. The difference between 60 Hz and 120Hz is how it handles 24fps media like Bluray.
Other media comes with frames/second of 30 and 60. 60Hz can display both of these easily as it does 2 cycles for 30 fps source and 1 cycle per 60 fps sources. However it has no easy way to handle bluray sources 60 / 24 = 2.5. The result is 3:2 pulldown and this creates a juddering effect.
120Hz handles all 3 sources natively: 120/30 = 4. 120/60 = 2. 120/24 = 5.
That's why the second TV is crap compared to the first one. It has a 60Hz refresh rate and totally kills 24 fps sources.
So what's your price range for this new TV? Maximum/minimum viewing distance?
