Forcing higher Refresh Rate

Hey guys! Dunno how many of you know this, but, according to these threads:

So, I tried to do this on my M15x's 1080 screen and I was able to get a stable 120Hz, unlike the 70-90Hz max that most people were getting before getting black screens or grey lines.

So far, everything from the desktop seems smoother, however, I cant reach 120fps on most of my games with a GTX 260m so I haven't noticed any difference during my gaming sessions... well, except for Symphony which seems much smoother.

Some pointers from the threads:

-Easiest way to do this is from Nvidia's Control Panel - Change Resolution - Customize.

-Doesnt seem to work with optimus systems.

-Needs additional software for AMD systems as they lack the option As far as I know.

-Side effects: reduce LCD's lifespan?? Not sure about this. I have been running @ 120Hz for a week now and havent noticed anything strange.

Enjoy!
