Alienware m18x screen refresh rate

[StonkBad]

Yea I use my PS 3D display as an extra monitor whenever I want to play 3D sc2 LOL it's cool, refresh rate is hardly noticeable vs a good 60hz monitor.. Remember that this is a TV and will not have the great 2ms response time.
If you don't play 3D or want one for your play station, don't get the 3D tv go with a good Samsung with better color and build quality, I used to moonlight a job at best-buy and only 1 in 5 ps tvs didn't have something wrong with the panel.

Hey guys

It seems my alienware m18x screen refresh rate never go beyond 60fps while i m playing games. this is kinda frustrating because I m pretty sure that 2 gtx580m can manage to play everything at 150fps. So is there anything I can do about it other than buying an external monitor?

well, this sucks! Don't get me wrong I love everything about this laptop but this screen is just not good enough!

Excluding the 3D screens on a small hand full of laptops available, there is hardly any laptop display made that has a refresh rate more than 60. Turn off vsynch in your games and your frame rates should increase.

how much is that m17x r3 when it is maxed out? I really like that 3d vision and the 120 refresh rate

The M17x R3 is a downgrade in build quality and hardware performance, so if you're looking for higher FPS, that's going to take you in the wrong direction. If having a better and more powerful laptop is important, stick with the M18x and get an external display as others are recommending.
