120fps

120fps is a high frame rate at which video or film can be played or captured. The "120" in 120fps refers to the number of frames displayed per second, while the "fps" stands for frames per second. This frame rate is higher than the standard 60fps found in most modern TVs and computer monitors.

Using 120fps has several implications. For one, it creates the illusion of smoother motion, reducing the visibility of motion smoothing artifacts such as the "soap opera effect." Moreover, 120fps recordings are often referred to as being "true" or "high-speed" recordings, distinguishable from the standard 60fps used in most film and video productions.Recording at 120fps can also minimize the risk of frame stuttering when playing back footage on certain hardware configurations.

Products such as high-end gaming monitors and gaming notebooks have been released with the capability to display 120fps content. Some hardware also includes support for downscaling or "inverse telecine" modes to attempt to make the hardware compatible with standard 60fps content. The compatability of a system with 120fps content can depend upon the video card or graphics processing unit.
