Is this LG monitor capable of updating to 120Hz?

Talk about overclocking displays at a higher refresh rate. This includes homebrew, 165Hz, QNIX, Catleap, Overlord Tempest, SEIKI displays, certain HDTVs, and other overclockable displays.

Most HDTV's can only do 120Hz for the purposes of frame rate conversion (e.g. Motionflow converting 60Hz->120Hz), and not natively directly from an external 120Hz digital.

However, there are some exceptions. See HDTV Overclocking HOWTO: True 120Hz from PC to TV.
