How big a deal is the 120 hz feature on new TV's?

I've seen Plasma's@Sears for $1700.

The 120HZ feature resolves one of the few cons of an LCD TV. It's not a gimmick it truly makes a difference! That being said...Plasmas have come a long way...and can really be an excellent value....inch for inch, less expensive than a comparable quality LCD... In my opinion...the biggest factor in choosing between an Plasma and an LCD...is the ambient light...if it's a bright room with windows...get an LCD. My TV room is in the basement...and plasma works spectacularly.

This month's face off in Home Theater Mag didn't like it and I can see some of their issues but only from very close up or they're not as distracting to me. If you want to email me, perhaps we can talk about it, I looked at many and researched for quite a while before I bought, probably just like you.
