Newbie here, please help me decide on this 60hrz vs. 120hrz issue

I'm planning to buy my first LCD or LED TV. Preferably 40" to 42". 1080p. Not the 3D version. I'm gearing towards Samsung, Panasonic, LG and Skyworth brands in the order stated.

But one thing concerns me is the refresh rate of 60hrz or 120hrz.

One sales guy in SM told me that all Skyworth LED TV 40"/42" are with 120hrz refresh rate. Is this true?

On the other hand Samsung TVs are 100hrz?

Is there really a big difference, specially since the higher the refresh rate the more expensive the TV is?

for bigger screens.. refresh rate is noticeable.. specially if you're playing video games.. so the higher the better..

ngayon kung mag ordinary cable ka lang.. na hindi HD... ok lang yung 60hz..

now a day's.... 42" is a bit small... go for 51 plus inches... preferrably 55"... unless nalang kung maliit lang ang rm... pero kung sala dapat talaga 55"..... bitin masyado pag 42" lang, just my opinion po... i bought 42" sa room namin... nagsisi ako at least pala 51" ang binile ko... (double tuloy gastos) mas mahal ng kunti pero SUPER sulit naman....

ok lang ang 60hz watching telenovelas. pero pag action HD movies na, like transformers o avengers, ang pinapanuod mo di na maganda, mas maganda 120hz. noticed ko ito since i have both a 42" 60hz and 46" 120hz.

pag dating sa movies... parang wala naman ako makita na pinagkaiba.... nasa format nalang siguro ng movie na gamit mo nagkakatalo.... actually dvdrip... madanda na din naman, 720p at 1020 wala na din ako makita na pagkakaiba.... nagkakatalo nalang kung ano mas magandang sound system mo.... ang ayoko lang sa 720p at 1020 ang laki masyado ng space na kinakain sa Harddrive ko... kung buy kayo ng HARD DRIVE, at least 1TB na... sayang pera kung mas maliit pa dyan... at ang dali lang punuin yan.... Avatar 1080p na 3D, 27Gb na kaagad, regular movies na 720 to 1080p nasa 5gb-9gb na agad... pero kung DVDRIP LANG less than 1gb lang....

mataas pala yung hz nung sakin basta more than 120 yun... hindi ko lang alam compare sa 60hz....
