What are some 120hz content/sources? Does a voice come on, like "120hz activated", or anything like that? I have a bravia 120hz 42", but I'm doin' it wrong, I guess?

Mine just has a simple menu for ON/OFF and I notice it quite a lot with watching SPEED channel, much less screen tearing

Under 40" TV's do not have true 1080p.
The 120hz vs 60 hz is noticeable, but depending on what you are doing not a big deal. Most people can't tell anyways.
Is that a joke?

I would say you should look at the specs of the 32", cause it may support 3d. In that case i would say use the 32" as a computer monitor at keep the 42" as a TV. The reason i see it being 120Hz is because i read that videocard drivers will offset two images side by side, each at 60Hz. So i belive you need LCD shutter glasses and a transmitter so you will see a full 3d image. I know my 9800gt drivers support up to 15% depth, so i would say you should look into that casue watching movies or playing games in 3d would monstrous.

yea last time i checked my monitor does 1080p and it looks pretty while doing it too. i prefer lower screen size with 1080p for the pixel pinch ratio.
