so you're absolutely sure that there won't be a difference between 60hz and 120hz for gaming because that's obviously the main reason I'm buying it.  

If you want a great monitor for PC gaming, I would not get a 120-240Hz budget 40-46 inch LCD/LEDs. Just get a 2560x1440 Catleap 27 inch IPS from eBay for $300. Better color accuracy, deeper blacks, higher resolution for crisper textures and has received positive feedback from many satisfied PC gamers. OTOH, if you want a great TV for movies and sports, forget LED/LCD and get a Plasma (Panasonic or at least a Samsung). Better color accuracy, viewing angles, response times for fast moving sports/games, deeper blacks, higher real world contrast ratio, etc than 97% of LED/LCDs. I'd rather get a 42 inch Panasonic Plasma and spend $300 for a Catleap than get a crappy Sony 120-240Hz LED/LCD that sucks at both gaming and videophile IQ for sports/movies. Sony's and other low end LCD/LEDs TVs have especially poor image quality. To get decent IQ on LED/LCD, you have to step up to more expensive LEDs. Essentially, to even come close to Plasma in IQ, you are going to need to spend way more $ with a like-performing LED, which means you can basically get a 27 inch Catleap and a Panny plasma for the same price. Also, most 120-240Hz TVs only output real 60Hz and just extrapolate the refresh rate. You won't get actual 120-240Hz refresh rate with a PC from a Sony 120-240Hz LED. It's not the same as getting something like an Asus VG278H monitor specifically made for 120Hz on the PC.

it's strictly for console gaming and blurays.
