Getting an HDTV.

120 Hz and 72 Hz modes are crap as they're not really what they say they are: there's no LCD fast enough to display these many frames by second, LCD are inherently too slow anyway.
Only 1080p24 input should be the requirement.
And if you believe most LCD people here, SD content (480ip and lesser) looks like crap on their LCD HDTV. You decide.
The best is to go look at them in a store where you can tweak the HDTV (the neon will prevent you from doing that correctly anyway, so ideally there's no light). If you don't know how to calibrate a TV, then you're screwed anyway, and you won't notice all the artifacts. Then don't bother to search for quality.

I'm sorry you feel that way about 120/72 Hz.  Having seen it in action, I know that it makes a huge difference.  I also realize that companies are overcharging for this feature, but it's typically found on the best quality displays anyway, so I'm willing to pay for it.

120hz also comes with software, as of right now only Sony has a proper working one called motion enhancer.
It gives a soap opera feel, the TV makes extra frames from the source.
