Hi All,

I have been looking all over the web to see if anyone else had the same experience. Turns out I just bougth a used LG W2363D monitor and since I am still waiting for the DVI-D LD cable to arrive I played arround with my old Single Link DVI-D to HDMI from the previous monitor. Using the EVGA pixelclock tool somehow I managed to reach 120hz at FULLHD. Considering that the specs of HDMI should not reach these HZ I am confused on how this is possible. I have tried playing BF3 at these frecuencies without any issues at all! I will provide a screenshot once I am back home but the difference from 60hz to 120hz is really noticable and since my game runs at 120fps without V-sync there is screen tearing at 60hz but at 120hz butter-smooth.
Really eager to hear your opinion on this since I could not find anyone else having experience this since 120hz should only be possible to reach with a DVI-D DL cable!
