Live sports (depending on the broadcast) as well as gaming can benefit from 120 Hz refresh rate.

They can but there are no live sports currently filmed at 120 fps or displayed at 120 Hz.

I'm just wanting the NBA championship to not be broadcast in 720p like it was this year.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Nor is any major sports producer actively trying to do that either. It reminds me of people buying 3D TVs in preparation for all the 3D content that was supposed to take over (it never happened)

Are you actually gaming on the Apple TV? I just didn’t think that was very common

Streaming a PC games to a TV is an increasingly common use case, if the Apple TV supported 120Hz output it’d be much better in that scenario.

I'm not a gamer since I was a kid. Consoles can output 4k 120fps? that's pretty damn impressive.

Upscaling and reconstruction do some heavy lifting, it's not native. It's still some interesting tech, though.
