Help: Getting 120hz on Samsung syncmaster 2233Rz
I have a Syncmaster 2233RZ Monitor that came packaged with my Dell XPS 720 and I got the Geforce GTX 260 with Stereoscopic 3d

I've been having on and off problems with the 3d and rarely use it...so I didn't really bother, but recently I wanted to get the monitor up to 120hz and for some reason the monitor will not work correctly in 120hz

Can I get 120hz using regular 2d?

I've tried to run scaling on GPU, then not.

I have DVI-D connectors from the gpu to monitor.

I have dual monitors set up, one is an ancient dell 1702FP however.

I've tried changing and altering various settings and I can't seem to get the monitor to go into 120hz. I just get a blank screen with the "Please check cabling" message. I've been searching around to find an answer, but unfortunately the fixes for other people has not fixed mine...

Can anyone offer help?

I have the same monitor, works fine in 120Hz 2D.
BUT there is a bug in Nvidia drivers, every Refresh rate above 60Mh in 2D will change the video cards power state to maximum.

for example I have XTG 580 and when i choose 100, 110 or 120Mhz the GPU goes up to 3D power state aka 772Mhz instead of regular 52Mhz in 2D 60Mhz.

Install latest drivers 295.73 and try again, do a clean install, before that change your video cards drive to VGA compatible, uninstall all nvidia drivers.
restart and install your drive in custom mode and check the Clean install checkbox

if it wont help, then its either the cable or the Video card, because its works fine on my 580
