Any advantage with 120Hz monitor when NOT gaming?

[Baldbloke]

As the title asks. I fancy a 3d 120Hz monitor.I very occasionally game. Just occasionally. So, I have difficulty justifying the cost of a 120Hz monitor solely for gaming. I'd mainly be using the computer for watching films, web browsing or office tasks. Does 120Hz offer any advantage other than when gaming?

Thank you.

what is your current monitor?

.

Samsung P2470HD 24 inch tv/monitor. I never use it as a tv. It's a nice monitor though. I like it.

Thanks for the replies. Drunkenmaster, you make a good argument and make it tempting. I have a 24" monitor at present and want to upgrade to 27". But spending an extra £300 to get 3d, 120hz is making me cringe a little. I want one. Yes. But do I want one enough to pay the extra £300? Well, maybe. I'm hovering over the buy button on Asus or Samsung. But, truth is, I myself, don't believe the extra cost is justified by my minimal need. Heck it isn't a need. It's a gear acquisition symptom. (GAS). Then again, I do like new toys.

I might just try the 2nd hand market. That sounds like a good compromise.
