Benq XL2420t 120hz on HDMI?

[landry2102]

For some reason I cannot get 120hz at 1920x1080 playing bf4. I have a gtx 780 as my video card. I can get 120hz at 1440x900 though. Also, my secondary monitor I have set at a cool blue tint but for some reason I cant my benq that way and it will not let me access certain options on the monitor. Thanks for the help!

Long story short, for 120Hz+, you need to use a DVI-D port and cable. It has the full set of pins when you look at it. HDMI doesn't do 120Hz like you think.

HDMI 1.4b was released on October 11, 2011.[154] One of the new features is that it adds support to 3D 1080p video at 120 Hz -allowing frame packing 3D format at 1080p60 per Eye (120 Hz total) .[155] All future versions of the HDMI specification will be made by the HDMI Forum that was created on October 25, 2011

To be more specific, you need a "Dual Link DVI-D" cable. Any old DVI-D cable will not work.
