Need more data to make a difinitive answer but since you gave a
general question then I can only give a general reply.

The answer: YES


For gamers you must decide on the following factors:

SCREEN REFRESH RATE: Do not go lower than 180Mhz If you go lower
than that then you will see ghosting(motion blur)

I think you mean 120Hz, since they haven't quite gotten to the MHz range for that sort of thing yet. Of course the whole 120/240/XXX refresh rate is just a marketing gimmick. LCD and plasma displays don't work like CRTs, so a refresh rate is a completely meaningless figure. They just throw it onto TVs so that there's this big number, and people just assume that it's better.

I have a plain old "60Hz" LCD TV, I play quite a number of games on it, never once seen any ghosting. I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference between a 60, 120, and even a 240Hz TV set when you aren't told which one is which. No one will be able to do it at a rate higher than just flat guessing.
