    120hz monitor, Need fullscreen?

    Alright so first, I don't really know where to post this but anyway.

    I have a 120hz monitor but the option ingame on system only allows it to be on when played in fullscreen. Is that really the only option?
    I tried googeling and found some people asking how to get the 120hz on etc but nothing about. Appreciate the answers.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you can't run at 120hz refresh in anything but fullscreen, or that WoW won't let you change to anything other than fullscreen to play?

    Yes, I can't run 120hz refresh rate in anything but fullscreen. I usually play in windowed mode but with 120hz on it looks so much smoother.
    So my question is really why it gets turned of once i go windowed but works when its fullscreen

    Windowed applications use your desktop refresh rate. If you don't get 120Hz on your application while windowed, then your desktop isn't set at 120Hz.

    So I googled it and there was a possible fix in post 2 of this thread:

    Oh lovely! How do i change that if i may ask?

    The thing is I checked now i think and it says 120hz.
    But everytime i go windowed in WoW I cant even
    Change. It goes grey but is at 120hz and it doesnt
    apply as it can feel such a difference.

    Your refresh rate is greyed out when you're using windowed mode because your game uses the desktop refresh rate. You can't change it while windowed, hence greyed out.

    Windowed mode is never as awesome as fullscreen is, and almost always it feels slower, depending on the settings of course. Could be you have 120Hz just fine, but since it's windowed, it has it's own little "lag".
