144hz on hdmi

Apr 28, 2019 2:14PM PDT

I recently bought a dell d2719hgf monitor which can go to 144hz but when I try to game it keeps turning on and off but when I exit it returns to normal. My question is is it because I’m using the included hdmi cable or do I have to use a DisplayPort cable?

It's a known HDMI limitation.

144hz and hdmi is supported

That does not mean the hdmi port on that monitor will support it.

Since dell seems to be keeping it a secret what their hdmi monitor port will support you will need to give them a call and ask.

Yes, HDMI the spec allows it.

But rarely implemented. So rare that for now I just go with displayport when the client wants to go outside of the usual 50/60 Hz.

This would have been easier if dell had shown the spec on their hdmi port.
