The main benefit I see with 120Hz sets is that unlike 60Hz sets, 120 is a multiple of 24.
So the standard of 24 images per seconds from the movie industry fits confortably in there. Meaning that the TV doesn't need to do the 3:2 pull down to compensate. Which introduces judders especially noticeable during camera pans. 24 FPS actually fits 5 times in 120. So the TV plays each frames 5 times, making for a smoother experience than on 60Hz sets.
