Dual-Link DVI will do it.
Did I get it confused with the 3D stuff?

Thanks for all your help.
One last question. Some monitors are marketed as Nvidia 3D ready while others are marketed ATI 3D ready.
This is just marketing? I should be able to use an ATI card to do 3D on a monitor marketed as Nvidia 3d?
What would be a good 120Hz monitor for someone who is used to a 30" IPS ?
...Had to get this because the Asus and Acer 27" 120hz offerings just didn't appeal to me.

So the OCD in me made me leave work a little early and trek an hour over to the nearest Microcenter and I bought the Samsung S27A950D.
Here are my initial impressions:
120HZ is an AMAZING leap forward from my 60hz Hanns-G 28"... everything in general is so much more smoother and clearer in Windows. The biggest test was playing Modern Warfare 3. It's like playing a different game. So clear and smooth...definitely gives you an advantage and very easy on the eyestrain. Seeing details in the game that I have never noticed before.
I know this monitor only supports AMD 3D as I have an NVIDA card but I have no interest in 3D, just bought it strictly for 2D so I can't comment. I'll never be able to go back to 60hz screens anymore. One minor complaint so far is the weird monitor stand. Feels like the screen is dipping ever so slightly down on the left.
So $700+tax might sound a tad ridiculous for a 27" monitor which will only be used for 2D but I figured the eye comfort alone since i stare at my screen for hours on end is worth it.
Also, going down in size from a 28" 1920x1200 to 27" 1920x1080 is actually not too bad. Lose a noticeable amount of screen real estate but i feel like especially with gaming so far, it's actually improved my field of vision and this might be the sweet spot for size on my desk.
Now the only thing I have to worry about is the Samsung reliability... I've had terrible luck with expensive Samsung electronics and it failing on me the first few weeks of purchase. Had to get this because the Asus and Acer 27" 120hz offerings just didn't appeal to me.
edit: also wanted to add that the glare of the glossy screen is really a non factor for me. not noticeable or distracting what so ever. colors seem to look so much more vibrant and eye popping now.
