To all:

A question I've been trying to get clear on as I consider upgrading my monitor. Is it better to purchase a 1080P monitor that can refresh at 120hz or a WQHD that refreshes at 60hz. (And here, I'm setting the $200 premium of WQHD to the side - I'm mainly interested in the viewing experience regardless of price). I've not seen or been able to find a WQHD that refreshes at 120hz or else that probably would represent the best possible upgrade. The monitor would be used most intensely for gaming on a 7950 crossfire setup, so my system has sufficient VRAM for the higher resolutions. Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.

(And apologies for the subsection location of the thread - I could not locate an appropriate section for monitor questions)
