Any good IPS or even MVA screen is every bit as quick as TN, as far as 120hz and input lag is concerned. Heck I have a 3 year old LG P-MVA that is lag'less. LCD panel tech, irregardless of matrix has been ghostless for nearly 5 years. Any lag present is a peculiarity with the monitors controller chip and HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH whether ITS TN/MVA/PVA OR IPS. And yes we are talking off CRT measurement, they are all pretty uniform.
I'm using the same LG you are referring to and I have to disagree. Although it has great color reproduction and solid viewing angles, i find it noticeably ghosts and has a discernible increase in input lag compared to many tn displays, 120s included. It's still a nice unit even by today standards but I never enjoyed gaming on it. It's currently my secondary productivity display and struts its stuff there.

As for the whole interpolation thing, I think it sucks. It makes it look like I'm watching a movie from an on set perspective and not as a viewer of the final product. Kinda of like looking through a window really. It totally destroys all the post processing that makes a movie look like a movie and not merely a.cheap home video. Movies are filmed and finalized with the standard 24 frames in mind.
