Monitor to Laptop

Thought I'd ask here first

Considering a monitor for my laptop and the only connection on the laptop is vga and HDMI

So is it possible to get 120hz from a monitor in either one of those connections?

ty x

e: still possible from DVI to HDMI?

hdmi yes yes

if I'm not wrong most laptops give you only 60hz on external monitor - even though I am not an expert

hdmi yes, but only a few laptop gfx-cards support 120hz

the monitors got DVI connection, and as my laptop doesnt have that type, I would have to get a cable from DVI to vga/HDMI and was wondering whether this will still play 120hz?

my gfx card is NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GTS

check nvidia's site whether the card supports 120hz (3d-ready)

Look what i wrote to maza ^

but im not going to use the 3d setting on the monitor even if it has one, just want a external monitor which gives 120hz so i dont have to use my laptop one

I mean i think with my monitor a Viewsonic 120hz widescreen, if u use the vga cable the hz is capped at 75hz, with the dvi u can use 120hz or 100 or 110 w/e. Im not 100% sure about this cba to check :D, but no idea if the hdmi will help either, so u might be screwed i dunno.
