I got the information from a supplier that there is a beta driver from nvidia that supports the 120Hz LCD with nvidia stereo glasses. I have not seen it myself but we have a demo scheduled in January.

Something about the type of polarization used for the shuttering effect. So if you were going to try out one of the new 120Hz monitors (~ $400) you might also want to spend on the nVidia glasses and emitter kit (~ $200) 2) The 120 Hz LCDs are not supported under Linux drivers by nVidia at present. Whether it might actually work or not, I can't say. I am encouraged by the mention that the nVidia emitter can accept a signal from the mini-DIN stereo port on some Quadro cards. <http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_pro_graphics_boards.html> 3) As someone mentioned already, the Zalman LCD monitors, which are not 120Hz and do not require goggles, but have diminished resolution, are currently supported.
