Laptop docking - 120hz monitor

Hey. I've decided on docking my Acer Aspire 5741G with a 120hz LCD monitor.

It has a NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU and a HDMI - 19-pin HDMI Type A output. It doesn't have DVI at all, so monitors like Syncmaster 2233rz won't work. I also looked into LG W2363D, but in a review I found it says it doesn't support 120hz through the HDMI (1.3).

"Also, remember that even though the monitor has HDMI 120 Hz is not enabled from these and you need a dual-link DVI input to run in 120 Hz and get a 3D picture. This also means that you cannot use W2363D as a 3D gaming monitor together with PlayStation 3 - only from a PC."

My GPU is listed as Blu-ray 3D playback on NVIDIA's site, but not under any other category.

Can I get my laptop running with a 120hz monitor that actually provides 120hz through HDMI?
Can I convert the HDMI into Dual-link DVI? (Which would've made things alot easier)
Does it need to be HDMI 1.4 to get 120hz?
Does my laptop have 1.3 or 1.4 HDMI output?

Thanks in advance!
