Monitor Wont Output 120hz
I have 32" 1080P 120 hz Philips HDTV (32PFL6704D) that I use as a computer monitor. I bought a Blu Ray drive to watch movies on. It looks great but I cant set my refresh rate to anything higher than 60 hz even though I know its a 120hz monitor. I hooked it up to a PS3 and the 120 hz works and it looks great. How do I get it to output 120hz with my computer? I have 8800gt's in SLI.

On a side note, does this monitor let me do Nvidia3D because it's 120hz?

Make sure you're using a dual-link DVI cable, the one with ALL the pins (not just half)

I can't help you with refresh rate but I can tell you that that TV won't let you use Nvidia 3D Vision.It doesn't have 120 hz input... No LCD TV has that at the moment. They all have 60 HZ input then they use their procssing engine to insert frames and show you 120 hz on the display.

Unfortunately, it's not a real 120hz screen. It just creates fake frames in-between the real ones from your 24hz movie or 60hz game console. These sets cannot do 3d, and almost always look much better when you turn off the fake 120hz "processing engine". It's only good for sports broadcasts, really.

Your TV is not capable of 'accepting'... 120hz signal.... meaning...
like almost every single 60hz, 120hz, 240hz LCDs out there that It just won't read that many refreshes, but what your TV is doing... is accepting 60hz and doubling it up... its all for the ability to look 'smoother', but its not pure.

Lemme... simplify this concept:

Something can be inserted into your rectum 60 times a second and you can scream 60 times a second in direct correlation.
You can also emulate more pain by screaming 120 per second even though you are only accepting insertion at the same 60 per second... BUT
If you were to try and force a 120 rectal stabbings per second... YOU WOULD DIE.
Your body is only technologically able to accept 60 per second, but you can heighten the sense of whatever by under processings or over processing the actual perception. Clear? ha ha ha

CRTS can for the most part accept 100hz or more
3D Ready LCDs can accept 100hz or more
DLP can accept 100hz or more
EVERY LCD sold in Costco/target/walmart/best buy cannot accept 100hz or more

...but if they have 120hz or 240hz processing it can sure make a 60hz image a bit more pleasing.

For the record... the PS3 Is NOT capable of outputting 120hz.... well not until that particular firmware update is released. If your TV says 120hz anywhere then it is only implying that it is POST-processings to 120hz from a 60hz video stream.

How can I get the post processing effect when Im using my computer? It works with my PS3 and to be honest I actually like it.
