[Solved] 3D-ready Monitor / 3D-ready TV at 120Hz

Why would I buy something called a monitor over something called a TV?

My concern is more with the 120Hz part of the equation.

Will either a 3D-ready monitor or a 3D-ready TV operate at 120Hz refresh rates at 1080p when hooked to a PC (given the video card(s) support(s) this)?

Is there a monitor out there, larger than 24" that will run at 120Hz refresh rates? Will a 3D-ready HDTV do this?

one major difference between lcds marked as "monitor" or "television" is in how the pixels are arranged. the arrangement on monitors allows text to be read easier and at smaller fonts. the arrangement on televisions allows shapes to be displayed better.

i believe that all 3d ready displays are 120hz. some tvs are 240hz. if your video card is capable of handling it then yes your 120hz display should work fine.

3d ready and 120hz monitors aren't commonplace yet. your selection might be slimmer. also 24" and below are more commonplace then 26 & 30" monitors. if you want something larger then most likely it will be a tv.

i'm running a 40" sony bravia (60hz version) as my main screen. i can tell you that text is noticibly harder to read than on my old 20" monitor. i have to set the windows scale to larger and the zoom in for IE at +10 to +20% sometimes. in games i always have to set the OSD/Text to large. on a monitor i never had to do this. however, games and movies do play excellent on the display so i'm happy with the larger text size. it all depends on your preferences. if you do work, write, or surf the internet more than play movies/games then a monitor is probably the better choice for productivity.

So even the new 3D TVs aren't accepting more than 60Hz. That sucks. Only the output is 120Hz after image enhancements?

I do remember that. I thought they may have made some advances as the 3D tech becomes more mainstream. It seems like they continue to progress pretty quickly.

Have you heard of any push for them to move toward a 120Hz input for TVs?

If not, have you heard of any LCD or LED monitors larger than 24" that will run at 120Hz?
