So many different television technologies have now been developed that choosing one television out of the many available units would probably give the average person a migraine. One of the many things that a person needs to consider when buying a new television is whether they should get a 60Hz television or 120Hz one. Well, I’m here to make this decision easier on you.
60Hz Televisions
60Hz televisions fit the bill of requirements for almost every household on the planet. 60Hz televisions offer crisp picture quality and decent colors, and are also significantly cheaper than the average 120Hz TV. The only definitive drawback of 60Hz televisions is seen when playing Blu-Ray discs and other 24Hz content – the average 60Hz unit does 3:2 pulldown, decreasing the overall quality of every single one of the frames of the content being played. 60Hz televisions also seem to “judder” in some scenarios, but nothing that makes viewing content on them unbearable.
120Hz Televisions
120Hz televisions, on the other hand, are gift from the heavens designed specifically to play 24Hz content such as what is offered by Netflix and the content on Blu-Ray discs. 120Hz televisions are more than capable of unleashing the beast within a Blu-Ray disc in its full might, resulting in amazing picture quality, natural playback and smooth, mesmerizing content.
However, 120Hz TVs don’t particularly fare very well while playing normal television programming as they attempt to smoothen the motion in the content that is being displayed, and this results in the content being noticeable “slow” for lack of a better word. The motion smoothing features of 120Hz TVs make the picture seem a bit off, but on most 120Hz units, these features can be turned off completely to somewhat stabilize the picture. 120Hz televisions also have better response times as compared to their 60Hz counterparts, making them the apex choice for anyone who plans on connecting their gaming console to their television. It is also worth noting that, if you do decide to swing for a 120Hz television instead of a 60Hz one, you will have to have a slightly larger budget.
The Verdict
We no live in a world where television technology has become so advanced that it doesn’t really matter whether the television you purchase is a 120Hz unit or a 60Hz unit. However, if you are going to be playing a lot of 24Hz content such as content from Netflix and Blu-Ray discs, a 120Hz television would be much better suited for you. However, if the majority of what you’re going to be doing on your television is watching normal programming and playing the occasional DVD, you’d be better off with a 60Hz television. Purchasing a 60Hz television would also allow you to save yourself a few bucks, that is, if you actually manage to find a decent 60Hz television under the massive heap of over-100Hz televisions that are currently available in the market.
