Are there any 120hz+ 1366x768 or 1600x900 monitors?

I have stuck so long with 1366x768 monitors and I have just become accustom to them. However, I am looking for an upgrade. Rather than upgrade to a substantially higher resolution like 1080p, because I would be sacrificing either graphics or performance. I have OCD on being able to turn everything to max and my 7870 can't do that at 1080p. I am interested in purchasing a monitor with a modest resolution like 1366x768 or 1600x900 that supports 120hz because my system can push that high with these lower resolutions on most games.

Maybe if you dug up an old CRT monitor, they dont have fixed refresh rates like LCD panels do. But without going to that extreme, nope, you wont find a 120hz 720p screen.

You dont want to game on dual screens, imagine your cross hair being split in half by the monitor bezels. You need an odd number of screens if you want surround gaming otherwise you run into that issue. I dont think Eyefinity/Surround even lets you use an even number of screens like that.
Your better off just using your old 720p as an auxilliary monitor to a 1080p screen.

Nothing current supports anything but 1080p or higher with 120hz or higher.

You can always set your resolution to 720p and let it upscale. It may not be ideal, but it will work. You may also want to work on that OCD. Even at 720p, you won't always be able to max a game out and get FPS over 60 all the time.

Sigh, the times are changing. But I have one more question. Would it be a better idea to upgrade to one 1080p display, and use my current 1366x768 as an additional convenience monitor on the side, or perhaps I should buy another 1366x768 monitor of the same size and use them in eyefinity? I do quite like the idea of a wide field of view.
