1080p24 makes movies play smoothly, just like they are shown in a theater (as opposed to converting them to 60 hertz, which is not a multiple of 24).

120hz lets you display 1080p24 (it is a multiple of 24).

HDMI 1.3 doesn't do much for you in a TV, the real benefit is audio.

What audio benefit does HDMI 1.3 have? I know the original HDMI can support 7.1 LPCM...whats better than that?

Also, I believe HDMI 1.3 allows for a larger color palette to be displayed; though benefits are arguable given current sources and displays.

The picture framerate is 120, not the frequency of the voltage (60hz).
