72 Hz has been a standard refresh rate for both CRT and LCD computer monitors for years, seems strange they did not addopt that as the standard - the page above does not explain the advantage of 120 Hz over 72 Hz.

Effectively the refresh rate of an LCD TV is dependent on the response of the pixels anyway so any technology that reduces the smearing effect should be worthwhile.
