I recently bought a gaming laptop and now want to connect my monitor to it, but I don't know which cable to use so that I can use the 165Hz, or at least 120Hz, from my monitor.
My laptop has an HDMI 2.0b connection, and my monitor has HDMI 1.4, Displayport 1.2 and DVI-D.
I recommend you to connect the monitor with DP as it is limited to a maximum of 120HZ with HDMI. Means you can't overclock the monitor with full power.
Well, according to the connections, probably no 165 Hz with your laptop.
HDMI
Even if you buy an HDMI to DP adapter it won't do you any good
And how do I do that if my laptop does not have a DP connection?
165Hz is my wish, but 120Hz would also be ok
Oh sry. Would have thought that your laptop has a DP too. Have read me sry😂. Yes then with HDMI… HDMI is better and faster than VGA.
You are not dependent on HDMI, even an HDMI to DP cable will not help
Then why do you recommend DP to me?
Which HDMI cable do I need? 2.0 or 1.4?
