General information
In display technology, the Hz refers to the number of times per second that a display updates what is shown on it. This is also commonly called the refresh rate. Here, 120Hz means that a particular display is capable of updating the contents of the display 120 times per second. 60Hz has been the baseline for years, and only within the past few years have 120Hz displays become available. 120Hz capable displays are not only capable of displaying more fluid gameplay (provided a strong enough graphics card), but they are also a requirement for both Nvidia and AMD 3D technologies.
3D HDTVs
Most 3D HDTVs do not accept a 120Hz input but this can be forced; see True 120Hz from PC to TV for testing results.
