120Hz provided real value. Being a multiple of 24 (as in, standard 24fps film content), it allows for nice smooth 5:5 pulldown, vs the 3:2 that must be performed when displaying at 60Hz. 240Hz, in contrast, is marketing. Any 240Hz set that looks better than a 120Hz set has nothing to do with the refresh frequency and is simply a result of newer/better backlight, panel, and/or electronics, etc.
Also note that not all 120Hz TV sets are capable of 5:5 pulldown.
