I’m wondering if I’ll be able to connect my laptop to this monitor and if it will perform well on Overwatch(I’m using low settings 1920x1080 and get more than 180 fps).

HDMI and miniDP out on the laptop, HDMI and DisplayPort in on the monitor - yes, it'll "work".

The monitor *only* uses HDMI 1.4, so you won't be able to hit to 144Hz refresh rate using HDMI (despite 2.0 coming 'out' of the laptop) - HDMI 1.4 is limited to 120Hz 1080p IIRC.,

You'll need to run a mDP to DisplayPort cable to hit the refresh rate of the monitor.

HDMI 1.4 can do 144 Hz 1080p just fine. Some monitors are limited to less, but that's a limitation of the monitor. This monitor isn't one of them, it does support 144 Hz at 1080p over HDMI.

You're right, it's a limitation of monitors, not the standard itself - I was going from memory.

That being said, I can't find anything definitive that states *this* monitor can do 144Hz @ 1080p..... not saying it can't, but can't prove that it does.

mDP to DP will do it without any potential hiccups though.

I have the monitor, so I can vouch for it; it does work at 1080p 144 Hz over HDMI.
