The difference is that one is largely a gimmick, for now at least.

so any game at 60fps or below will not be effected (ie all of them for now and most likely next gen)?


120hz (and up) is mostly for use on PC monitors and for extra effects and filters that the vast majority of media doesn't support at all or doesn't do very well (such as 3D). Higher framerates will be a great help for continued increase of effects and filters in the future and especially in cinemas and on 4K TV's with medium-to close viewing distance but, for now at least, there is little point in shelling out extra for a the highest hz rate possible, better to wait for TV sets which has proper first hand integration of features and, more importantly; media that actually uses the extra rendering capacity and features properly.

For now, a very high hz count on TV sets goes towards as much use as upscaling DVD's on Blu-ray players.

Any 7th generation game is likely to be minimally effected or none at all by your TV's hz count being above 100.
