    Does anyone know how likely it is to connect a 120hz monitor (Planar SA2311w, for example) to the HP Envy 14? The laptop only has an HDMI output, and in order to get 120hz, the monitor must be connected via Dual DVI output. I know there are some adapters to circumvent this, but I've read that they're capped at 60hz. Thank you for any input.

    My specs:
    i5 520M (w/ Turbo Boost)
    ATI HD 5650
    Brightview Display
    Windows 7, 64 bit OS
    4 GB ram
    500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

    Envy has MiniDisplay Port adapter - there are various types of cables for that - maybe that will work?
