I just recently bought an AOC g2260vwq6 75hz gaming monitor and found out that it cant actually run at 1080p 75hz. Well, it can but when I tried doing a custom resolution from the intel control panel with 1080p 75hz the screen ends up having two large black bars at the sides of the screen which isn't ideal. I'm thinking that the problem is that I'm using VGA and I am going to get a new cable soon anyways since I have a GTX 1050 which I cant use right now because of that but I would prefer going with HDMI instead of DisplayPort since it's only $10 and DP is about $20 at the place I bought the monitor. The question is would HDMI allow me to do 1080p 75hz properly right away? I heard that on some monitors it still wont work but I don't mind doing a custom resolution in NVidia control panel if I need to though I'm also open to other suggestions.
EDIT: Tested a custom resolution of 1920x1080 @75hz in NVidia control panel with my old GT 730 connected with VGA and it was just fine, no black bars. I'll probably still buy DisplayPort over HDMI anyways since it'll be more reliable.
