120hz should be an option in the NV control panel when it's connected.

If your looking for 3D it's not possible if the machine was not 3D when purchased - even if you buy the full kit it still refuses to install because it 'sees' the internal panel and has a list of approved panels - those OEM's that have paid NV to use it.
My external 3D monitor works fine for 120hz on both machines but only the AW will trigger NV 3D. I thought I'd be able to hack it because I have a 120hz monitor on the Clevo but I failed. It's all about licensing and even requires a 3D certificate somewhere in the bios for laptops!
