Any larger 120Hz monitors on the horizon?

I am quite interested to buy the Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision & Samsung SM2233RZ 22" 120Hz 3D Widescreen LCD Monitor Bundle but have got a fear that there will be some larger/better screens released in the near future.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any news regarding any future releases?

Thanks.

They're twice the price of a conventional TN-panel but lack the quality and viewing angles of S-IPS / PVA. You're basically paying a premium for the increased refresh rate, which is only of benefit if you're using nVidia 3D compatible games and hardware - you're paying a premium to tie yourself into one vendors hardware.

I'll be interested when they release 120Hz 24"+ S-IPS (or better) monitors, though not for the 3D aspect.

Surely a 120Hz refresh rate would benefit any game where you get more than 60FPS? How is that being tied into one vendor, I don't understand your logic.

I'm sure I read somewhere that there are over 350 titles that can be played in 3D so I'd hardly be short on choice would I? Plus, many more will surely start to support it.

There is also a case to be made for non-gaming content - movies etc.

LOL what new games would do 120hz not a lot only older games.

Do you mean 120FPS?

@1680x1050 with SLi'd or Crossfire'd latest cards, probably quite a few numbnuts.

Buy a Samsung LN32B650, £589.

32" 1080p, 120hz TV (and yes, 1080p is fine on a 32" screen for general use).

Not all 120Hz TVs are compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision, this falls into that category. Link

The 3d tech is horrible

Many of the reviews out there seem to disagree with you and say that is an awesome experience.
