recently, my friend bought a new monitor.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/C750+Series+27%22+LED+HD+Monitor/8585136.p;jsessionid=0DFD2E199004CEAA03BEA793FD000E0E.bbolsp-app04-143?id=1218879338068&skuId=8585136&st=c750&cp=1&lp=1#tab=specifications
that one
The option in the control panel resolution to change it from 60hz to 120hz isn't showing up in the drop down menu. Does anyone know a solution to this or am I just being incredibly stupid
edit: the monitor says it doesn't support dvi input http://puu.sh/45IQr.png
I'm not very tech savy should this matter?

I had a similar problem when I got mine. Create a custom resolution with all the settings you want in your video driver's control panel and it should work.

Make sure you are using a dual link dvi cable. For some reason some 120hz monitors don't come with the cable that can actually handle 120hz. Also from my experience you need to change the refresh rate from the video driver settings not windows display settings.
edit: I just realized it comes with an HDMI cable and I'm fairly certain that can handle 120hz signals but I'm not sure. So assuming it can you need to go through your video card settings to change the refresh rate. If you have an AMD card it will look like this.

thanks shwan, i think that's his problem. I'm not on the spot with him so a description of how many dots his cable has is all i got, its very confusing.

There is no way that is a 120 Hz monitor. It's too cheap for one that big. There must be a typo in the specs online. A 120 Hz monitor MUST support DVI-D in order for it to work, and a true 120 Hz would be about twice as expensive as that one if they are 27". Best shot is to return it and buy a real one.

ive never seen a 120Hz without DVI-D support, and while those other options do also work for 120Hz, all 120Hz offer DVI-D

That's not 120hz breh. Panel rate isn't the same as input rates. That's a 60hz.

^ checked with the manual (why didn't the OP's friend do this yet)
The monitor doesn't support 120hz.
