Outdoor TV 60hz vs 120hz

Looking for the cheapest 48-50" TV possible to hang outside. Probably end up getting a Westinghouse or an insignia bc I will only watch it every so often for sports, etc. how much should I pay for 120 hz? Is it that important?
Anyone seeing any good deals out there? TIA

You probably won't notice the difference.

I got a best buy deal of the day LG 49" for just over $400 with tax and shipping. sign up for the deal of the day email and you'll see a bunch of similar deals.

i guess i'm in the minority but i can tell a big difference between 60 and 120hz. granted i'm watching mostly sports when i'm using the outdoor tv.

Yeah...it is extremely easy to tell the difference...for sports or non-sports. At the same time, I wouldn't say it is necessary with an outdoor TV. 120 Hz Tvs are cheap these days though, as it is pretty much the standard.

I can definitely tell, but when I'm at a friends house or bar watching a game 95% of the time I don't pay attention to it enough to make the determination.

I don't think they had it in stock when I got it either. I went to the store and they ordered it for me and had it sent to the store and I went to pick it up.

I guarantee most people that claim they can tell actually can't. From 20-30' away, the grill is smoking away, sunshine beating down on everything, music is going and someone can tell the hz on a 50" screen? Yeah right.

The outdoor space that you describe sounds much less than ideal but I see what you're saying. My outside TV is a 50something inch with seating fairly close. It is obvious to me. My outdoor space never gets direct sunlight. I'll see if I can find a picture (will probably be a beer pic). When I'm at the other end of the outdoor space, I agree, it would be impossible to tell the difference.
In my office I have a 36inch that is a 60hz and it is obvious to me when watching sports from 10ft away.
eta: here's a pic of the bar in front of the tv
