There are pretty much no 120Hz compatible displays yet.  Very very
few exist.  Lots of screens do frame interprolation from 30 or 60Hz to
120Hz for display, but they only acept 60Hz in.  So no 3D video support
yet, since that requires a real 120Hz input.

Viewsonic just showed off some 120Hz DLP projectors with 3D support,
and samsung has some displays too, and I think Mitsubishi has some DLP
120Hz displays as well.
