As others have noted brightness and refresh rate of 60hz vs 120hz. For the average tv viewer, probably not noticable however depending on your sensitivity you may notice a judder effect on 24fps sources. This article explains it best but here is the base explanation:
"A 60Hz TV has trouble removing 24 fps judder because 60 isn't a multiple of 24. To display this type of content, a technique known as a "3:2 pulldown" is used. Basically, 12 of the 24 frames repeat three times, while the other 12 repeat twice, totaling 60 frames. Not everybody notices this, but it causes some scenes, notably panning shots, to appear juddery. However, 120Hz TVs have an advantage here because they can simply display each frame five times since 120 is a multiple of 24."
It also notes that some sources, such as Chromecast, will only output 60fps, so something else to keep in mind if you want to take full advantage of 120hz.

*Edit* thanks dealbabydeal for pointing this out:
From RTINGS: "The LG A2 can remove judder from 24p sources, and you just need to enable Real Cinema."
Edit2 - even more useful info here. If I'm understanding correctly a 24fps source played through a device that supports frame rate matching at 24fps will eliminate judder. If it forces output at 60 you will still get judder https://slickdeals.net/f/16863020-lg-77-class-oled-a2-series-4k-uhd-oled-tv-1499?p=16532300
Then I bought a 42" C2 for my computer and oh. My. God.
So pretty.

I was relatively early adopter to oleds and I had burn in on my LG B6 after 2 years of use. LG did not own up to their faulty panels. I ended up buying a top end Samsung which was alright but not oled quality. It broke during a move (no accidental insurance).
Fella at bestbuy sold me a B9 with burn in coverage. It has been going great since. No burn in. Looking back at it, bestbuy insurance team must have seen test results and included to cover burn-ins. Insurances are not designed to lose money.
Having said all of this, I don't trust LG as a brand. They sold early Oleds very well knowing that these burn in.

As another user points out, it's not just gaming... judder from 24p video coming via 60p sources is another issue... (it can be worked around using internal streaming apps if they work for your situation... but 120Hz "solves" this by being evenly divisible by 24)
As to gaming- depends on your source again... Older, or even many current, console games you're not likely to have an issue... but higher end PCs you'll notice a massive difference uncapping framerate- and that will only get moreso in the future with stronger consoles and GPUs, so if it's a TV you expect to keep many years it's worth considering.
That said, the price bump from 60Hz to 120Hz is pretty big here, I don't recall the B2/C2 getting down much past the 1900-2100 range before they began going out of stock in 77"
