DisplayPort and 144 Hz monitor - you need to know that

If you use a monitor with 144 Hz, you also need the right cable - for example a DisplayPort cable. We show you what you have to consider when choosing the cable.

Connect the 144 Hz monitor to the DisplayPort

A current HDMI cable only supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. A dual link DVI-D cable is one option for 144 Hz.

• You can also transmit the sound with a DisplayPort cable. In principle, the frequency of 144 Hz is also supported.
• However, when buying, you have to make sure that the cable really supports 144 Hz. Many cheap cables only offer 60 or 100 Hz.
• The UGREEN DisplayPort cable supports 144 Hz and costs around 10 euros.
• Tip: When buying appropriate cables, not only check the information provided by the manufacturer, but also the customer reviews. Most manufacturers do not guarantee the performance of 144 Hz.
