If you've been walking through the local electronics store, or browsing HDTVs online (and I'm sure you have), you may have noticed a lot of attention being payed to "120 Hertz," that is, the refresh rate of some newer model televisions. The refresh rate refers to the frequency with which the image on the screen is updated, or re-drawn. "120 Hertz" means that the image you are looking at on the HDTV is updated 120 times a second.

What does Hz mean on TV's?

Hz probably means Hertz. It's an unit that describes how many times each second something happens. Hertz is frequency of some wave like activity e.g. sound wave, light wave, etc. Long ago, the scientific units of measurement were descriptive; for example, "one horsepower" referred to the power that one horse could generate. Then "they" (the "International Electrotechnical Commission") decided to name all the units systems in honor of various scientists and discoverers. One "Hertz", named for Heinrich Hertz, is one cycle per second.

Why does you game look burry on a big tv?

It may be that your game looks blurry on a big TV because you might need a better cable to connect it. If you have not got one already, may I suggest that you use an HDMI cable instead of a basic AV cable. It may also be that your television is of too high a Hertz level to match your console, rember, the higher the Hertz, the higher the screen resolution and quality.I hope this helped
