120Hz is nice so 24fps DVD can be shown without 3:2 pulldown. I have
never had any issues in Myth with this or audio sync, but I have an old
receiver that gets audio via RCA out from the TV.
Beware, though, that the "fancy" 120Hz sets also often add image
processing (soap-opera effect), which many people don't care for but can
usually be disabled. Also, if you play games these sets often have
input lag that can affect gameplay.

I would also suggest the LCD section at AVS forum for part of your research.
