I've got a question for anyone with an answer...
I'm considering buying a TV for my monitor but had a couple questions about effectiveness.
I'm looking at two different TV's but for the most part the main difference is the refresh rate and with the lower refresh rate, a larger size. Both TVs are 1920x1080.
I know that the refresh rate is the number of times a single frame will be displayed each second. So for example the standard 30fps of Television programing will divide evenly into either refresh rates with an even number of frames, however the film/movie standard of 24fps divides unevenly into 60hz and therefore requires the 2:3 pull down algorithm. That issue is eliminated with 120hz refresh rate as 24fps divides evenly into 120hz, HOWEVER, =( I also am into gaming...
My Rig:
CoolerMaster 932 Case
Gigabyte EX58-UD5 MoBo
i7 920
12gb OCZ XMP Ready DDR3 1600
EVGA GTX 275 896MB HDCP Ready
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX
CoolerMaster V8
So i'm slightly worried about frame tearing, but that shouldn't be an issue with 120hz right? (as I doubt anything i play (MW2) will be displaying/out pacing 120fps...)
So your thinking, "why is this guy even asking, just go for the 120hz..."
My question is, my GTX275 has two DVI outs, no HDMI. So I'm looking at getting...

but the product description says "supports players/tv up to 60hz"
or...

But i don't know if I will have the same issue.
My question is:
Does anyone know if it is even possible to go from DVI to HDMI and push 120hz? Because if not, then am I SOL with my 275?
I want the TV for normal television viewing through Direct TV, Blu-ray playback from my PC, AND frequently play video games off of my system.
