Is it possible to 'overclock' a monitor to be able to get say, 120 hz on a 60 hz monitor?

It is possible, but don't expext to get a 60Hz monitor to 120Hz. 

Monitor overclocking can be done in the driver for your graphics card or using EVGA Precision X

Is it possible? Yes. 

 

Could you get those kinds of results? Hell no. When over-clocking a monitor (and I don't recommend it) You'd usually be looking at getting around 70-80 Hz on a base 60Hz monitor.

It is possible. But it depends on your monitor how far or even if you can overclock it. and in most cases the image wont be much more fluid, as mostly the pixels them selves cant operate faster that what they are rated at.

 

EDIT: I managed to overclock one of my Korean 1440p monitors to 130 Hz, and it was a bit more fluid, but also a lot more blurry. and after about 6 month the monitor started to degrade and could not hold the overclock anymore, so I clocked it back to stock 60 Hz. This monitor with its pcb, was especially designed for overclocking, and even with that it was not really an improvement. Bottom line: dont oc your monitor.

It's possible to get a small monitor overclock.

Even my monitor can't go past 60Hz when trying to overclock :-(

Depends on the monitor but you risk damaging the monitor by doing so.

some monitors are meant for 60hz and will drop frames if higher

Korean monitors are your best bet, I got mine to 120Hz, been running great and no problems.

 

it's all a game of luck really.

So I might be able to overclock it with the risk of damaging / destroying my monitor, when success isn't garanteed.
