Actually, in the case of LCD, the general case is, if its not 120Hz, its 
not "possible" to be 120fps. The reason being that, without the higher 
Hz, you can't get a fast enough refresh to handle a doubling of the 
frame rate (at all), or.. well, not if you want it to not look like 
total crap compared to a LCD display for a computer, which are, now, 
almost 100% 120Hz (with a few cheaper exceptions). To get the same on a 
TV requires going all the way up to a 34", or something, in most cases. 
Its really kind of annoying. Guess the cost of the tuner gets traded 
from the cost of the extra refresh, so the small TVs and the small 
monitors stay close to the same price, but... I find it more than a 
little frustrating (Had my TV blow some caps a while back, so bought a 
smaller one, for a temp, intending to possibly use it as a display 
later. Never did, precisely due to that issue.)
