If you haven't seen the difference between 60hz and 120hz you should go to an electronic store and check it out. It isn't just something a professional would notice and, in my opinion, depends on your taste more than what is better. I personally don't like 120hz, it makes movies look like they are playing at 1.5x speed, you also lose the filter (for lack of a better word) that movies have, it makes hd movies look more like they were shot with your own camcorder. Also in most hd movies with a lot of CG (Spiderman 3 for example) the CG doesn't look blended into the world at all, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
I'm sure I am not explaining it well enough for you to visualize it, its something you have to see for yourself. Some people really like it because it gives you a 3d effect, but I can't stomach it. I guess it is kind of a moot point because 120hz tvs allow you set them back to 60hz for those that don't enjoy the experience.
