This has no effect on the picture other than eliminating the need for 3:2 pulldown and thus film judder as a matter of course (since 120 is evenly divisible by 24).

As an example, a TV may be advertised as "240 Hz", which would mean one of two things: Motion interpolation features are included with several video player applications.
