Are there any other 120HZ monitors?
I was just wondering if there are any other LCD monitors supporting 120HZ besides the Samsung and the ViewSonic, so I can compare prices and sizes.

So, on the whole world, there are only two models who can do 120HZ. I find that hard to believe, sir. I shall continue my epic journey on finding another model providing 120HZ. Huzzah!

lol, I wish you luck on your quest, Huzzah to you!

I was just being pissy earlier, it was a long day at work. The truth is that according to nVidia's "officially supported" list there are indeed only two models -- the two you already listed. I've spent about 3 weeks asking that same question because I, like you, wish there were more variety. I was at Best Buy last weekend asking around and reading specs on all of their monitors in-stock... and no one had heard of a 120 Hz monitor. It sucks, but I think the truth is that this technology is so new that it really isn't that surprising that there are only two "officially supported" monitors.

This doesn't mean that it is impossible that a third model exists, it just means I consider it unlikely. Remember: after Thomas Edison invented the light bulb there was a brief period of time where only two light bulbs existed IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Really, that statement "in the entire world" doesn't mean much when talking about new technology. There will always be a first of something, and until now 60 Hz LCDs were all we had. So yeah, probably these are the only two realistic models available "in the entire world".

Soon, there will be a dozen. And I also can't wait for that day because we can price shop and get better deals, better quality, etc.

Feel free to look around, I know I have. And please report back if you find more options. Also, keep in mind there are supported Televisions, so the "only two" argument applies to traditional LCD computer monitors, not all possible display devices.

Oh, and you really don't need a "source" other than nVidia's own website. www.nvidia.com: they maintain a list of supported hardware. It is currently a very short list.

Edit: Oh, and don't forget that CRTs can work too. This would add quite a few monitors to the list if you include them.

Some 120HZ HDTV are out so i guess they work with 3d even if they are not nvidia certified. You can make a very good setup playing on a HDTV if the native reslution is 1368x768 like mine you will be able to play in 720p and the image wont be stretched. This is why i can still play recent games on max setting.

There aren't any LCD displays capable of true 120Hz input and display besides the two in the recommended displays list by NVIDIA. DLP and CRT monitors can support it as well, but no other LCD displays can. The current crop of 120Hz LCD HDTVs don't actually support a 120Hz input. They just interpolate between frames in a 60Hz input to fake a 120Hz output.

I think MajorgamerQc is referring to the Samsung 3D-ready plasma tv, the A450 series, which is also using the checkerboard technology, but is only avaliable in 720p
