The hardware in a few pretty cheap Korean monitors supports 2560x1440@120Hz so it cannot be that hard.

Why would TV manufacturers support an input refresh rate that hardly anyone would use? HDTVs are mainly used for film, video and console gaming where a 120Hz input signal is not needed for any of them. I'm sure at some point we will see HDTVs supporting higher refresh rates, but now it's a very niche feature to include. The fact that 120Hz HDTVs don't support 120Hz from an external source does not mean that they aren't actually refreshing at 120Hz.
