No.

120Hz PC monitors and 120Hz HDTV work differently.

The electronics of a 120Hz HDTVs create an interpolated frame in between every two actual frames it receives (at 60Hz) to improve smoothness and gives movies that "live" look; kinda like a talk show or news program.

The creation of the interpolated frame will take time, thus it will increase input lag.

You can get a 120Hz HDTV to watch movies and videos to get that "better look", but when using it as a desktop monitor switch it to 60Hz in the options.
