    Question Help me find a cracking 27" 120Hz Monitor

    Hey guys after many weeks of searching around the net for a 27" 120Hz screen I've decided to try my luck here.
    My budget is around £300 and although I actually like the look of the samsung 27ta950 it's a tad expensive...
    Another one that stands out to me is the iiyama plg2773hs (can't post url yet) which scan have for about £300.

    Can anyone recommend anything similar that they have had experience with or even back up my decision on the iiyama ?

    Much appreciated!

    you need to wait for the 120hz catleap monitors. IPS but probably not that cheap after the mod...

    Just an update. It's not 120Hz and ugly as sin, but...

    Re: Help me find a cracking 27" 120Hz Monitor

    I didn't know they made 27" monitors that run @ 120Hz. I have a 23" Alienware Optx AW2310 120Hz 3D monitor and I LOVE it! Best monitor I've ever owned If I could have one of these in a 27" version, I'd buy it in a heart beat! I also have my computer hooked up to my LG 55" 120Hz 3D TV, but my computer only recognizes it as a 60Hz. I'm guessing because I can only hook up to it with a VGA SUB or HDMI. It doesn't have a DVI port Oh well, it still looks sharp as a razor for a 55" display
