[SOLVED] Does my laptop support QHD monitor?

[sadLemon]

I have an asus laptop UX430 two years now, and I am very pleased. Now I would like to buy a new external monitor to connect it to my laptop.

I use my machine as a web development enviroment, programming, casual office tasks, light video editing etc.

I never had a 27" QHD, but I am afraid of buying one cause I don't know if my laptop supports it properly, and doesn't downgrade it to FHD or running QHD on 30 fps only.

I also have micro hdmi port so I will need to buy an adapter or hdmi cord.

I am concerned about my gpu, cpu, micro hdmi version, not able to run a monitor with QHD and 75hz. What do you say about it, could my UX430 support QHD on at least 75hz?

your notebook doesnt mention which HDMI version it supports,
but hdmi 1.4 introduced micro HDMI connector so its probably this version, bandwith is 8.16Gbps
QHD @ 75Hz will need 8.29Gbps bandwith, 60Hz will fit

as for usb-c port,this one can drive just 5Gbps display link..which is 1080p @ 60Hz

Usbc to Displayport no problem running qhd 75Hz. 4k 60Hz if wanted to.

5gbps from USBc port is unrelated to Displayport signal.

Max refresh rate for USB-C 3.2 gen 1

Hi there, So I've been looking this for a while without finding a definitive answer, does anyone knows the maximum refresh rate for a 1440p monitor over a usb c 3.2 gen 1 connection ( 5gbps). I'm aware that the maximum for 4k would be 30hz that would suggest that the maximum over 2k should be 60h...

Could you recomment me a monitor and connection adapter that I would need, around 300$ ?

Any USBc/Thunderbolt 3 to Displayport cable will be fine.

Regarding monitor im not sure with that budget, you'll have to look around at reviews and buyer feedback.
