Yes there is a significant difference. Everything looks much more smooth and fluid at 120hz. Im sure someone will jump in and start the old and unaccurate debate that you cannot see more than 24,30 or 60 frames per second but dont let that fool you. Its false information. I personally noticed a very appreciative difference when i switched from my old 60hz samsung to a 120hz s27a950.

I dont know if its the same for nvida(i would assume it is) but using an AMD HD5000 or higher you shouldnt have any issues with a 120hz+60hz monitor. Ive done it a few times when ived tried to study some programming and Works just fine.
 
I had a 120hz LCD and after that a 27" 2560*1440 IPS panel and now a Dell U2412M. To be honest with you, I found where the 120hz benefitted was in FPS games; everything else there was hardly anything in it.

I think if you're into FPS gaming and such it might be a good idea to check 120hz out, mind you the IPS panels perform superb in FPS even though they are only 60hz.

Yes. example: the people who have posted in the dozens of threads already posted on this topic.

Get off the fence and join in the fun :)

I am a resent convert to 120-144Hz gaming and it is a beautiful experience, even when googling scrolling up and down the web pages is nice ;)

One thing that is apparent is to try and keep your games running at high FPS i.e Vsync on at 120Hz and 120FPS henc my new post in the Graphics section :)

Out of the box the monitor did need a fair bit of tweaking but now I actually feel it looks pretty good I know it will not look as sharp as a 1440p ISP panel but I don't have both side by side so on its own it looks great ;)
 
Depends on how into FPS gaming you are.

There's literally no benefit in anything else, whereas IPS panels benefit you everywhere.

I'm sure if I saw a good 1440p panel in front of me I would say "WOW" but I am quite surprised how good my panel is in general computing, I expected it to be good in games "which is why I bought it" but poor in general use.
I have built a gaming PC and that's what I do on it "play games" ;)

I would love to have a high resolution laptop mind ;)
 
Ok tbh I can see any difference, Ive owned a good Iiyama E2773HDS and liked it but wanted a better viewing angle so got the 27" DGM IPS and hated it so went back to the Iiyama. I recently bought an Asus 27" 144hz monitor and despite the build quality being excellent I couldnt get used to it (lightboost is a nice touch). I dont think its me as I owned a 23" LG 120hz monitor for a few weeks and felt teh same so I think it has to be either teh panel coating or the fact I prefer 60hz.

I now have the newer Iiyama E2773 HS (similar to the older monitor but quality isnt as good) but far better than the Asus or my DGM for gaming.
 
Do you need a graphics card capable of pumping out 120fps? I want to get one, but can't afford one plus a system upgrade at the same time.
 
Since no one seemed to have answered the OP

"Are there any complications in using split screen 60 Hz + 120? "

When I used to run my 24'' 120hz monitor in split with my 27'' 60hz there was very little issues.

I can't remember the exact issue now as it's been a while, but I remember the driver would occasionally crash when for instance, watching a movie on the 60hz screen and playing a game in full screen mode on the 120hz monitor (windowed was fine).
