lol 120hz >>> 60hz

120hz is a lot more smoother especially if you are trying to get a good experience going for 1080p

i also heard that you can't really see the 1080p difference with a TV anything below 40in

That really depends on how close you're sitting to a screen.  On a computer monitor for example you'd likely notice because you're sitting so close, but if you sit a reasonable distance away, you probably can't tell.

Somenone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that since most games run at 60FPS 120 HZ wouldn't be necessary unless maybe you're doing 3D.  If your game is only delivering 60 frames in a second, it doesn't matter how many your TV can display.

hz= gigahertz

fps = frames per second

 

120 gigahertz is the refresh rate

 

so a 30 fps game will look smoother on a 120hz 1080p TV than it will look on 60hz 1080p TV

Actually, Hz = hertz

KHz = KiloHertz = 1000 Hertz

MHz = Megahertz = 1000  Khz = 1 000 000 Hertz

GHz = Gigahertz = 1000 MHz = 1 000 000 000 Hertz.

A 120 Hz Tv isn't 120 gigahertz. -_-
