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

Yes, but 60 hz means that a TV is refreshing the image 60 times each second.  30 FPS means that a game is changing the image 30 times in a second.  So if your TV is refreshing the image 60 times each second, and your game is only producing 30 unique images in a second, wouldn't there not be much of a difference?

idk man just know that ANY game will look smoother on a 120hz Tv than it will on a 60hz Tv

of course the same game would look THAT much better if it was 120 fps on a 120hz TV

 

 

Edit:

 

60hz = Charmander

120hz = Charmeleon

240hz = Charizard

 

of course you have the TV size to factor in aswell
