is it possible to connect a DVI-DL to USB because I have a laptop that does not have DVI-DL my graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M or is there any other way to connect a DVI-DL to my laptop I have only 2xUSB 3.0 2xUSB 2.0 HDMI and a VGA so is it possible to connect the DVI-DL somehow ? Im trying to get 120Hz from my BenQ XL2420T monitor so is it possible any way ?

if you are wanting to get a signal out of the laptop and onto another screen, you can buy a dvid-dl to hdmi adapter. if you are trying to put a signal onto your laptop from another screen, you cant do that.

connect the laptop to the external monitor to get an image on the external screen? yes, this is possible, all you need to do is get an adapter so you can plug the dvid-dl into the laptops hdmi port.

well, i cant find any info on the version of hdmi it uses, but unless it is 1.4, it cannot do 120Hz @1080p. you can try lowering the resolution to get a higher refresh rate, but that would look much worse.

i think you will just have to settle with 60Hz, which shouldnt look much different anyways, especially with motionblur.
