Is there much difference between 60 and 120 refresh rates on a tv?

About 60

tv shows: No difference, that’s 30 or 60 fps video you’re watching.
Movies: 24 frame per second content has uneven frame pacing on 60hz displays because 24 is not a factor of 60. This is not a problem on 120hz displays, however most people won’t notice a difference because they’ve never noticed the uneven frame pacing at 60hz
Gaming: 120hz can make a big difference

It is similar to 4k in that you won't know the difference unless you watch a media in that format. I am not familiar with any media produced in excess of 60hz besides video games.
If you are using a console with the TV you will probably need the newer consoles like XBOX series X or PS5, as they support 35+ games at 120+ fps.

Only if you're gaming.

I'm sort of in the market for a new TV so this is helpful. Nobody in my house plays video games so I think we'd be fine with a 60hz.

That dude nailed the explanation.
If you're in the market for an OLED, don't be afraid to look at the lg A series. Afaik, it's the only available 60hz OLED.
If you're looking at something cheaper than an OLED (ie. some led variant), anything worth buying will be 120hz. Any 60hz led will be dirt cheap but also a piece of crap.

What about sports?

And the plasmas were 240..

if you are asking, then no. Likely you would never notice the difference.

wound up buying an LG with a 60 refresh rate. The Samsung it replaced had 120. Watched Master and Commander other night. Couldn't tell difference.

I also want confirmation. My TV looks like a Bigfoot video when footballs are in the air.

The refresh rate won't really change anything. The motion blur is a result of slow moving pixels. The liquid crystal in a LCD move much slower than the organic material in an OLED. There are 60hz panels that handle motion better than 120hz panels. So the refresh rate of the TV is only a small part of the equation.
You could in theory have a 120hz LCD (LED, QLED, doesn't matter, they're all LCDs) go into the motion smoothing menu and turn it all the way up and reduce the blur. But that's dependent on the manufacturer's processing. The TV will try and guess where people and other fast moving objects are going and insert frames to reduce blur. The higher refresh rate would allow for more frames to be inserted.
For non-sports content this will take low frame rate video and make it high frame rate and cause the Soap Opera Effect.Most newer TVs will have custom motion settings. Usually two sliders, one for Blur and the other for Judder. Blur will insert frames to help smooth high frame rate content (like sports) and judder will insert frames into low frame rate content.
If motion blur is something that bothers you, OLED will be much better, regardless of brand and model.
