    Is there a big difference in everyday (non 3D) picture quality with the 120hz over the 60hz? There a notable difference besides the 3D? Also, what's the quality of the 3D after all of the new drivers have came out? I've only seen it like a year ago. Thanks in advance! I hope to be purchasing today!

    I got the 3D screen + Nvidia 580m cheaper than the 6990 with no 3D screen so I picked the 3D screen
    I don't think you will notice any difference if your not going to use the 3D then again I can't judge yet, I haven't received my system yet

    If you dont play games and not use 3D there is no point in getting 120 Hz monitor , you will see no difference in normal use ( web browsing , text writing , etc. )

    From what I heard 3D screen at 120Hz is brighter and a it sharper than the 60Hz screen. Can't say, never seen them.

    Thanks for the quick replies. I guess I'm not gonna get the 120hz. Putting the order in now. Thanks again!
