Is there a list of such monitors that do 120Hz, including input support?

HDMI 1.x has strict bandwidth limitations.  Dual-link DVI-D should support up to
2560x1600 at 60Hz, 1920x1080 at 120Hz, so I guess it will work.

So I guess one should look for Dual-link DVI-D (aka DVI-DL) then?
At least on a 1920x1080 or lower resolution LCD, which would normally
only need a Single-link DVI-D.

Oh, so it can "interlace" the lines to do the job at 60Hz?
