No offense, but it sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. There is no way to show more full frames than the update rate of the monitor. You are probably thinking of input lag, which is prevalent with VSync on 60Hz. You can not see a difference, but you can probably feel a difference. If your game runs at a 100% constant 120fps versus a (just as an example, although it's an extreme example) constant 240fps on a 120hz screen, you certainly would not be able to see nor feel a difference, if the system is configured right.
I can't help on specific monitor models though, so I hope the rest of the community can help with that.

Now if you want to SLI/Crossfire you can probalby hit 120fps constant, but then the whole microstutter thing rears its ugly head more often than not. Thats *IF* the game your playing is not CPU bound, because it doesnt matter what gpu you have - BF3 WILL dip to 35fps on intense firefights - wont the slowness be exaggerated in 3D with whole stutter speed and what not?
I suppose with older games like WoW/TF2 then you can get away with 120fps+ constant with a Radeon 7950 and above
I dont have 3D setup, and ive thought about getting it - but i think it might be a year or 2 still too young for me
Yes, generally that is what you need. 1920x1080 is not that large a resolution compared to the 1440p monitors out there, so if people can run it somewhat smoothly on 1440p@60Hz, chances are that you will still be able to benefit from 1080p@120Hz
