120hz HDTVs - will they work? Hardware compatibility
I realize that there is a limited number of HDTV's officially listed as "3d ready", but I have a high end 48" 1080p 120z Sony. If I were to make the extra investment on a new graphics card - would I be able to go 3d with that thing?

You need a tv that can accept 120hz signals natively. All of the LCD HDTVs on the market can only take a 60hz signal and double it using its algorithms. Some DLP tvs and projectors are able to display 3d without issue. The best bet is to check out the compatibility list.

Please check the FAQs (in my sig) and search for 120 Hz. We have a Knowledge Base Article on that topic.
