Your monitor might accept 75 input and then convert it.  I've read about it
some.

I think the 120hz LCDs are supposed to act more like a CRT with refresh
being tied to hz.  At least, that's what the marketing stuff looks like. 
LCDs really don't have a "refresh" rate, though.  The science is different
than a CRT because it's all about the response time of changing the color of
each pixel rather than the speed of drawing lines across a screen.  -  The
marketing stuff does seem to indicate that you should be able to acheive 120
fps with vsync on in some games...  but honestly, Folk - I haven't tried one
myself, so all I can go by is what I've read.
