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.

For something interactive like a video game it's not just how smooth the playback is, it's how responsive the actual game is... there's an upper limit to how much a difference it makes- but 60->120 is quite measurable and real in actual difference for even the average player... (120 to 240 is much smaller and THAT is in the "probably irrelevant if you're not a pro gamer range though)
Further, it's not just the very top end GPUs that can exceed 60fps at 4k now--- so even relatively mid-range gaming systems would be wasting their $ putting out FPS the display can't handle nowadays.
Again, this is source dependent in many cases- there's LOTS of people using streaming or cable/sat box sources that only output a hard 60p so it'll impact all of those.
I guess the question is how often do you plan to upgrade a 77 TV?
You also claim that the difference is in responsiveness. The 4K 60 is already something like 11ms. That is fast enough that anyone who is not an incredibly hard core gamer "games are most of there life" person is going to notice any difference. And probably many of those people probably couldn't give a sh about it either.
How many TVs? This thought of I must buy the one most expensive model now so I won't have to worry in the future is totally baffling. Technology changes so fast that the people who really care are upgrading every 2-4 years anyway. Not to mention wear and tear. Good luck getting service for any reasonable cost after 5 years. For me, I'll enjoy my beautiful 77" oled that was half the price of a c3 . Don't care about "judder" or <11ms response time like most other people don't . Then perhaps upgrade in 5+ years when all the new features, including ones we're not even aware of yet, have trickled down into TVs. By then the cost will be under $1000 too with all the oled competition.
No burn in and about 40% of my viewing is baseball games with the score box in the Sam place.
Only reason I would upgrade would be for the size but I would not want to lose any quality.

I learned the mistake of getting the cheaper CPU from the days of the EG9100 vs 9600 vs the C6/E6.
I've owned/traded all of the models and the EG9100 CPU was garbage and the webOS was SLOW.

Besides baseball, I mainly watch the main streaming apps or 2160p HDR x265 10Bit content all through my 4K AppleTV using the Infuse App streaming from a Plex server.
I also have a 4K Denon (AVR-x4800h maybe? ) 7.1 Atmos setup that the AppleTV passes through on the way to the LG.
Any additional input would be greatly appreciated!
