Product Description
This LG monitor features a 1920 x 1080p IPS Neo Blade III panel, which delivers shortened response times, better color reproduction, and wide angle viewing. Also notable is the panel’s slim 2.5-millimeter bezel Read More
I don't understand why anyone would buy this. You can pick up a 144hz 27" asus monitor from amazon for about $250-300. Facts are 60hz monitors just don't cut it these days and arent really worth the money. And yes the 144 makes a huge difference.
Are you sure it's running at 75hz? It could be that the GPU is outputting 75hz but the monitor can only display 60hz (especially if you did it through GPU drivers not monitor drivers).
Did you check on ufotest? I'd try that to confirm since your GPU drivers don't affect the monitor's refresh rate as far as I know.
Vick_bpmYes, I'm sure. Monitor is reporting 75 Hz and anyway difference between 60 and 75 Hz can be clearly seen. Ufotest is reporting 75 Hz too. I overclocked monitor using GPU (raised pixel clock), it's pretty easily done in Nvidia Control Panel. Also with 76 Hz monitor starts showing artifacts.
Yeah, I over generalized. I really meant desktop PCs (where a MONITOR is used). Not entry level, sub 600$ PCs. They figure if you are getting something that cheap you will probably get a cheap monitor? But I think a better assumption for laptops and HDMI is, you will connect them to TVs, for presentations (TV being the key word). My point really was meant to say HDMI output on smaller devices it made to connect to TVs, not MONITORS.
2 modern and VERY popular graphics cards:

Both cards have - 3 DP and 1 HDMI
Comparable ATI/AMD products:

Also has 3 DP and 1 HDMI.
Again my original point HDMI is for TVs. DP is for monitors. People don't buy a laptop and a MONITOR for the same use. You buy a desktop PC and a Monitor or you buy a Laptop and a TV.
A pretty standard industry laptop out right now is the HP elite book and it has a DP with NO HDMI. Just another example. This laptop is really made for a mobile docking laptop (meaning it would be connected to a MONITOR not a TV).
Hope that helps to clarify what I meant to say.

A decade a go, this was true. It's not anymore. They are both digital transports with capabilities that leapfrog each other. The current DisplayPort 1.4 standard is superior to the HDMI 2.0b standard. As such, upcoming 4k, 144hz, HDR displays use DisplayPort. But for 4k, 60hz and below? They are interchangeable. Neither has a benefit so you use whichever.
However, HDMI 2.1 seems set to leapfrog DisplayPort in a meaningful way. The VESA association caved, giving in to Nvidia's demands and made VRR (variable refresh rate) an optional standard. This caving in gave us the current G-Sync vs. FreeSync proprietary situation. HDMI 2.1 has a MANDATORY VRR implementation. The end result? HDMI 2.1 displays will support VRR on any GPU. No more proprietary standards locking your monitor and GPU together.
HDMI is about to become the gaming standard if VESA doesn't do something.
Again, you are simply restating your original point in the hopes that someone, ANYONE, will agree with you. I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. For this monitor, DisplayPort holds no tangible advantage over HDMI. Replacing HDMI with DisplayPort on this monitor would reduce the cost per unit by a few cents at most, but would also reduce their target market, thus reducing sales. Adding a second digital port would raise costs and in all likelihood require a different scalar, thus further raising costs.
If you can explain a factual benefit to DisplayPort over HDMI for this display, I'm listening, but you haven't presented it yet.
This is really nice looking, it's a beautiful design, but I can't bring myself to spend $200 on a 24in 1080p monitor, regardless of the slightly more accurate display. I can get an 24in IPS 1080p monitor for like $120, not really worth the premium. And I just bought an Asus 4K IPS monitor for $269.
Had to come back for this...
-Talks about future proofing, yet topic is about a 1080p monitor.
-Complains about buying HDMI cables when they'll likely still be around for the next 15yrs.
Because HDMI > DP & DP > HDMI adapters don't exist?
-Compares HDMI cables to HD-DVD when HD-DVD was just two more RCA cables to begin with.
-HDMI has HDCP, gah, got me there, what's a world where you can't pirate your RedBox movies?
You say you don't want to buy a non-future proof supporting monitor, and then you specifically shop for monitors that vendors are intentionally not installing advanced unnecessary components in because 1080p is going out the window.
Not sure if you came for the monitor or just to complain.
Solistica> topic is about a 1080p monitor
1080p monitors make good vertical, auxilary monitors. they're also good for *nix systems which lack proper scaling and high-dpi support
> Complains about buying HDMI cable when they'll likely still be around for the next 15 yrs
Not in my household, the rest is of no interest to me
> Because HDMI > DP & DP > HDMI adapters don't exist?
Wasting more money on HDMI accessories, yea right
> HD-DVD was just two more RCA cables
lmao HD-DVD was a disc format, not a cable
> HDMI has HDCP [...] redbox
I don't know what redbox is but I don't care to find out either - I want my monitors to work each and every time. HDCP handshake problems make that impossible.
> 1080p is going out the window
not for productivity. I prefer 1x high-dpi monitor in the middle flanked by 2 1080p vertical 9:16s over a single high-dpi 21:9. ymmv
