I was looking at a couple of reviews and these do look
intriguing. I haven't heard much about them though so I'm curious as to whether anybody here has used them and if so, what you think of them.
 
I'd like first-hand experience too. I'm wondering if it's a gimmick or do they really deliver?

I'm perfectly happy with my 60hz 37" Westinghouse 1080p for now... but maybe in the distant future I'd upgrade, who knows.
 
I'll go take a look at them tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what I think. They have games connected to them at my local electronics store.
 
Sweet. From what I've read, I'd like to get one, but it would be better for somebody to see it firsthand.
 
Is there that much of a different in quality between 60Hz and 120Hz?
 
From what I know not really. It's better for blu ray 24 fps films(usually older stuff). That will divide evenly into 120 where with a 60hz they play the 3/2 game with the refresh.

However since most manufacturers are heading that way might as well get one. I don't think you'll see a major difference in games if at all.
 
You'll only see a difference in games if you can tell if a framerate is above 60fps, and if you have an extreme obsession with framerates, bordering clinical (like me).

For the general public who seem to think that 30fps is "smooth," 60hz is far more than enough.

Edit: Oh yeah, above 60fps also helps if you're into competitive gaming like counter-strike freaks who only play 1000fps boosted servers at LAN events and can awp you before you can even twitch with the mouse...
 
I like my fat 13'' black an white screen. Who needs colors anyway!
