In theory, in practice even professional reviewers aren't noticing any lag on good quality IPS screens. I'll take the better resolution and colors that I'll certainly notice over lag I won't.
Better responsiveness, lower lag > slightly nicer colours - not that there's anything wrong with the colours on my 120hz screen.
You'll find a lot of the things people talk about around here are totally exaggerated to the point of myths.
I have read about them. What I remember reading was that it involved some sort of overclocking of the clock generator on your video card to push the signal to the monitor. Something like that and that it put your video card at risk. And it was only some of the 1440p Catleap monitors from Korea.
Maybe I had it wrong, but pretty certain this is what I remember hearing.
I would prefer to pick up a Dell, HP etc 30" panel that is sold as 120hz and just hook it up to DP 1.2a port and use it. It's not the sort of thing I'd want to do a hack job to get up and running.
That's because Dell would be sourcing the highest quality panels these Koren panels are not of the highest quality.Well that's fine if you don't want to manually do it yourself. Just wait for the Overlord version which is going to be afford by a Californian company around October. But due to certain limitations for having presets they said they can only guarantee 100hz for now.
If Dell was to come out with such a screen I'm betting it would be 2-2.5 times the cost of these korean monitors.
I know this is an old thread, but I got my BenQ 120hz monitor delivered yesterday. Installed the monitor using the Dual DVI cable, set nvidia control panel to output 120hz and then the fluid motion began.. even basic silly stuff like window dragging was more fluid. I went online and found some user configs for the monitor, got my colors, brightness and contrast set, saved the profile and launched up BF3.
Sorry to tell you naysayers but you are flat out WRONG, there is easily a difference between 60hz and 120hz gaming, Maybe it's just my 20/15 vision (no contacts or glasses) or maybe you have a junk video card (mine is GTX 670) but the difference is very clear, to use the words slight or moderate doesn't fit the difference I see.
it was an LG W2353V-PF. I don't know about the active switching.What did you upgrade from? And are you actively switching from 60hz to 120hz? There's a lot more factors than refresh rate.

All of this = truth.
I don't know how many times I have heard people trash 120hz gaming. Clearly they either haven't tried it, or their rig sucks so bad that they can't get more than 60fps anyway...OR...their brain is broken in some way.
This thread isn't about that though, it's about if 120hz is a bunch of BS, it's not. The IPS vs TN thread is ---> wayIn my view IPS is better than TN any day.
It's all subjective so blanket statements should not be made.
I'll def be going to IPS 2560 X 1600 or higher when they make em in 120hz+Any particular reason you're being so angry and hostile? I've used the VG278HE monitor and it is nice; 120hz is a noticeable difference for sure -- however you have to pick what you prefer, 120hz or high resolution. I much prefer the latter, 2560x1600 is a much more immersive gaming experience for me. 120hz means I have to use 1080p on a 27" screen.... Screw that.
Of course everyone has differing opinions on this. 2560x1600 is better for a lot of the games I play (MMOs, action games) whereas 120hz might be better for someone with different preferences (competitive counter strike maybe? heh) Personally, I won't be using 120hz until it is available at a high resolution. 1080p is so 2008.

What I've found is theres no display that suits all games the best

Speaking of jitter in games. Skyrim...no matter how smooth the game seems and how high my FPS is you still will notice a bit of jitter when panning the camera around a room or next to some foliage. I can only assume this is alleviated a bit with 120hz.
