Question

Need help finding an external monitor that will work

Oct 18, 2015 2:21PM PDT

Hello I use a Lenovo Y510P Ideapad, I am a gamer and runs my favorite game Counter-Strike Global Offensive at around 110-120 frames. I want an external monitor to utilize these frames. My hdmi supports 1.4b so I can use a 120hz monitor (yippee), the problem is that I find all these great monitors and look up if they have hdmi 1.4b or later and I can never find out if they do. Any help is appreciated Happy
btw my graphics card is an Nvidia gt750m which supports 120hz.

If your shop can't tell you the specs of what they sell, find a better shop.
