Is 120Hz refresh rate worth it? Does YouTube TV, Netlfix even have a source of 120Hz?

Trying to decide between 60 and 120 Hz. without source of 120 Hz, there is no point of having a TV with 120Hz.

Any recommendations

Depends if you feel you will connect something to it that supports it, be it something available now or if you want to future proof it.
Spend less if you don’t see it being something that will come up before you’re ready for your next one.

I would think for gaming mostly it would be important. Not sure of what new game consoles have but some kind of fancy stuff might utilize 120hz.

Does anyone know if there is any impact on video quality due to the misalignment of frame rates between source and display? A lot of movies are at 24fps which goes evenly into 120 but not into 60. I know there's always some sort of processing going on, but is it cleaner to "fit" 24fps content into 120hz?

Yes judder can be awful - one of those things where you don’t notice it and when you do you can’t unsee it. 120 hz panels are more likely to have variable refresh rate (VRR), if you have an certain player (Apple TV or Shield), then you can turn settings on to match frame rate. If you are just using the Smart TV apps and don’t really care, spring for the cheaper.
