If I bought this monitor, how exactly would I go about overclocking it from 60hz to 120hz?

There is a different procedure iirc depending on the graphics card you use. I don't think I can link anything here but there are overclocking guides on various forums, and its not that hard. I have an AMD gpu and for that its one program for patching your pixel clock rate and another to override and set the refresh rate that you want.

You have to force it in your video card drivers. However, I wouldn't bank on hitting 120Hz. 90Hz might be a more realistic goal.

Monitor settings are set in the control panel. Note:These monitors are not designed to run at 120 Hz and your chances vary if the input electronics will keep up. That said, this IS the model that is a popular gamer OC choice. Instructions are a Google away or try http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-qnix-x-star-1440p-monitor-club for the FAQ. Note that OC'in electronics creates extra heat which reduces expected life-KEEP THE VENTS CLEAN.

right click on your desktop and go to the Nvidia control panel (if you have AMD GPU i dont know how). all the settings are in there. you can create a customer resolution/refresh preset.or just google it you'll find a good walkthrough.

It's all done within Nvidia Control Panel. The only thing you got to do is create the custom resolution (that will let you set new refresh rate as well). I took my monitor to 96hz and I didn't try to go any further.

There is no guarantee that any of these monitors will go any higher than 60hz. From what I've seen most of them will reach 96hz pretty easily, some will reach 120hz, and some might not even go above 60hz. 60hz is the only guarantee you have.Now, to answer your question - I found something which you might find more useful than asking questions on Amazon:http://lmgtfy.com/?q=qnix+overclocking+guide

This is the guide that I used. Mine overclocked easily to 120hz and has been running strong for months now. http://www.blurbusters.com/overclock/120hz-1440p-ips-monitors/

Yes, it's limited to the usual 60Hz. With modern monitors that's just fine. Modern LCD screens do not have the laser sweep of old CRT screens, so you won't need to change your refresh rate to desynchronize from your overhead lights anymore. (And if you're going significantly over that in games, you're just wasting power, so vsync would make more sense in anything that exceeds this rate.)

Amazon is wrong. Other sites has this @ 60. If you do a search on the LCD it will say 60Hz

Yes, as a matter of fact, it's connected to my rig via HDMI. I'm think I'm getting 120Hz but have to reconfirm.

Mine did not. I was lucky to see 120hz. Installations do vary but in my opinion the drivers are just too small to do LF well.

Both are supported, however, in order to be able to use the 120hz refresh rate you have to use the DVI connection.

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

I was going to buy it for PC gaming but wont if Hz cant adjust. Isnt it true that all new LED TVs can auto set to whatever the games fps (60 or 120Hz) is?

i dont see why not i know it just needs that 120hz but u need a graphics card to support it!

Depends on 2 factors: The graphics card you have (like GTX 700, 800 series or Radeon R9 series) are capable of 4k @ 30hz. However, LG is hiding the refresh rate @ 4k. 120hz is the refresh rate that will go down to ??? when you have it at 4k. Likely it's 30hz anyway, so you should be ok. Btw, HDMI 2.0 is needed for 4k @ 60hz and there's no video card out today with HDMI 2.0 out.

It interpolates frames, were a normal panel will display at 60hz. Any 120hz tv will basically take the 60hz signal and double the frames.

Im sure either a VGA or a DVI would do the trick. I have a dvi connecting my PC to my 120Hz HDTV and it works swimminginly

120/240 is just marketing buzz. It's a frame doubler, not truly 120hz. If you send 120 frames per second to the TV, it drops frames just like a 60hz set would. There are definitive tests proving this on the official thread on avsforum.com

1080p/60Hz refers to the source input, the TV is telling you that's the signal it is receiving -- and the input doesn't change when 120 Hz is on.

I do not know the tech specs but I am running at 120mhz refresh rate and 1080p with a 40 ft cable and it is amazing looking.

The Samsung that I purchased has the 120HZ refresh rate. I can take a picture of the box that it was shipped in if you like.
