120hz v 1440p-help out a fellow gamer!

I'm looking at 120hz v 1440p primarily for gaming purposes. Here are the two products I'm considering:

I know there are a huge amount of threads on this, and I've read many of them. I'm hoping to get some ideas between the technologies used and get some good subjective feedback by users that have experienced these types of product and can compare them. Both monitors are close in price, and I'm aware one is sharper with much total picture quality, whilst the other has that buttery smoothness. My 120hz tv made such a huge difference for me. As much as the transition from standard def to high def.

I'd love to check these out in person, but I live nowhere close to where I could see these monitors in action. I'm running a 7970 right now (1050/1500), but plan on upgrading to sli 670's with 4gb within the next few months. Thanks for any help, consideration, and feedback on your opinions of the better "gaming experience" these monitors can provide!

If you go 120hz 1080p, get a 24".

Or you can get a Yamakasi Catleap and have the best of both worlds.

120hz no contest unless you play like bad games ok.

120hz will be better for gaming. 1440p will be better for everything else.

Agreed.

I have a 1440p monitor and love it. Haven't used a 120Hz monitor before but but unless you're a hardcore FPS player or something I don't think the advantages of the reduced input lag will affect you too much

You cna take my IPS panel from my cold dead gamer hands!

Seriously, I could never og bakc ot the limit color gmaut, the limited contrast ratio, the limited resolution and most importantly the limited viewing angles.

IPS all the way man. Just be aware that you'll need some serious hardware to max out demanding games @ native rez.
