is not us ac pwer 60 hz is this not the refresh rate

Yes. US ac power is 60hz. But it is not the same as refresh rate for the screen. Refresh rate is the amount of times the screen switches from the previous image to a new one per second. In the TV industry this is referenced in hz.

No-the refresh rate is 240hz, not the power used. I don't know the difference, but 240 RR is better than 120RR.

I am not sure , however I suspect the Hz will not make it work properly (60 Hz in Europe and 50 Hz in the US I believe)

Check the article in PC Mag about refresh rates 240 vs 120. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp

Yes basically, it was advertised being 120hz, but when i got it, its only a software upgrade that makes them able to say it's 120hz, but on the screen it says 60hz even in cinema mode

The panel refreshes at 120hz you can't turn it on/off. When you see "60hz" on the screen it's because that's what the source is, so far there are no 120hz sources.

thats the reason i purchased this monitor,it is only 60hz but it works as well for gaming as my asus monitor at 144hz refresh rate, I think the picture quality is better with the benq cad monitor, most games dont run any faster than 60hz

Sorry, I discarded the owner's manual with the box and the information is not on the set itself. I have no clue what the refresh rate is.

Ramneek, This is a 120 Hz 'refresh' rate set. It is stated in 'Product Description' paragraph. The 60Hz you saw was for the power source as would be the case for all products sold for U.S. use.

The refresh rate (Hz) can vary from 50 Hz to 75 Hz depending on screen resolution. For a list of the refresh rates and corresponding resolutions, click on the following link:

Yes, it's limited to the usual 60Hz. With modern monitors that's just fine. Modern LCD screens do not have the laser sweep of old CRT screens, so you won't need to change your refresh rate to desynchronize from your overhead lights anymore. (And if you're going significantly over that in games, you're just wasting power, so vsync would make more sense in anything that exceeds this rate.)

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

It seems that Amazon has changed it back to 120 Hz, now can someone tell me what the actual refresh rate is?

60 hz at max resolution but at a much lower resolution 1280 X 720 it is 75 hz
563111
No, it is not. It is 75hz and it definitely affects performance. This is basically a 3DTV that has been rebranded as a 3D monitor.

Under the advanced settings on my computer, the refresh rate is set to 60Hz, which is also the only option. I'm running an ASUS GTX670, so I'm guessing that it knows best. Aside from that, I couldn't really tell you. This is with ASUS' video card driver v. 9.18.13.37888 (5/19/14) and the Microsoft driver for Generic PnP driver v. 6.3.9600.16384. I don't know that ASUS has a proprietary driver for the VS229H-P, and Microsoft isn't that great with actually checking for other companies' drivers at this basic of a level -- I just haven't looked for myself because I haven't found the need to check (M$'s driver is dated 6/21/2006, which is absolutely ancient as far as drivers go).
