    I believe the M14x has HDMI 1.4, which supports 120hz 3D

    just wondering, why do you want 120hz FR? over 60hz you won't notice the difference (human eyes have their limits)

    Are you sure? As since posting, I'm hearing people say you need a DL-DVI cable to achieve 120Hz.

    I notice it for sure! I played on my friends PC built by Overclockers UK worth around £2500 and sometimes the screen makes the graphics 'chopy', like they don't sync the frames correctly.

    He then bought a 120Hz screen and we both noticed the difference! You can even tell how smooth it is to move icons on the desktop.
