Freesync Question Viewsonyc Monitor

[lorddavid]

Hi, I bought this
https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2457-MHD-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B018MYTH9U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1485922613&sr=8-3&keywords=amd%2Bfreesync&th=1


Can I use freesync over HDMI cable with this monitor? I read some reviews that said that a Display port cable is required, but in AMD I found that HDMI can be use for freesync, but in some models.

So, I need displayport cable or hdmi? I need to know because I'm outside US and need to buy the cable in amazon so it can arrive with the monitor,

Thanks in advance

Hi , A bit off topic but how would you rate that monitor for image quality and audio? How bad is light bleed? I M going to buy it today...

That pretty much depends on the panel you get.

I got it, Its pretty good and bright. I am using HDMI cable for now.
75 hz with HDMI makes image a bit jittery for some reason, 60 hz works better. Don't have a gpu to test Free sync.

I am using the colour profile from this page.
