Sorry if this is a long posting but i am giving you all the information i think you might need.
20 odd years ago when i got my first pc my monitor was a 24 inch square flat screen Packard bell with 4 usb ports , i cant remember what connection cable it used , all i can recall is that it was one of the first flat monitors to appear on the market so it was expensive , i do recall being shocked at the price because the monitor was £500 all those years ago and the pc was £750. I think i paid over the odds for the monitor because it was new technology.
My current set up is 8 years old and has a zotac gtx 1080 , it has 3 display ports , 1 hdmi and 1 dvi socket , it is connected to a benq 24 inch wide screen hmdi eye care monitor using the dvi socket , i dont use the hdmi because i was told even though the benq has hdmi in its name i should use the dvi socket.
I would like to swap my monitor for something new , maybe this https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-MPG-27...&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&
My problem is , we refresh rates , 1080 , k4 , some high end monitors seem to only give 60 fps and i note this monitor is display port 1.4 .... does a gpu socket have to be labelled 1.4.
Regardless of if i choose this monitor or a different one i have no idea of the best way to set up a gaming monitor
