I have just bought a benq xl2720t and want to connect to my ps3. Can I get the 120hz through hdmi, adapter or other means. I don't wont use the 3d part and only play call of duty or will I only get what the ps3 puts out?

i think PS3 games max out a 60 fps, so you won't really get the full benefits of that awesome monitor, but it definitely won't look bad, but that's all you can get out of it. HDMI is capable of carrying it though.

HDMI is technically capable (bandwidth) of carrying 120Hz, but hardly anything but computers actually use the capability. With your PS3, you are unfortunately restricted to 60Hz.

Get your computer hooked up and enjoy some games at 120Hz. (You can use your PS3 controller if you reeaally want to...)

To the best of my knowledge HDMI can't do 120hz. Although I'm pretty sure the ps3 doesn't run games past 60 anyway. (most prolly run at 30)

120hz works a bit differently on TV then monitors.

I think there are some nonstandard things that use later HDMI version's extra bandwidth to enable 120Hz. (It technically has the bandwidth required, but has not been defined in the standard.) You are technically correct though... (Slipped my mind. Mixed up the newer versions of HDMI's 4K and 1440p standard capabilities with 120Hz.)

Thanks guys, I heard similar answers from other forums but with the 3d direction. I hoped there was a magic easy solution and now I do almost think of changing to pc for gaming. Even so about the 60fps from the ps3 to the monitor will the monitor refresh faster and make the game look smoother?

No the ps3 will negotiate a 60hz connection with the monitor. And since monitors don't have any smoothing like TV's do then you won't get any benefits over a traditional 60hz monitor.

No, the monitor will only go as high as it is requested to go (60Hz or 120Hz). Like PsyKhiqZero said, 120Hz works a bit differently on TV then monitors.
