HDMI 2.0 Port?

[ethan206]

So I am currently looking to buy a monitor (under $100) and I'm wondering what HDMI port my computer has. I want to connect my computer to a monitor that is either 1920x1080p HD 60Hz or 1440P QHD 60Hz, and does my computer's graphics card and HDMI port support that? I am currently using a Dell Lattitude E6520 with NVIDIA NVS 4200M (512M) graphics. Also, I'm wondering what HDMI port my computer currently has.

Given the age, I'd say your laptop HDMI version is 1.4. The laptop came out in 2011, but HDMI 2.0 came out in 2013.

Hdmi 1.3/1.4 can do 1080p 60Hz and 1440p 60Hz, Hdmi 2 isn't necessary..

so if my computer has an HDMI 1.4 port this means that I can use it for 1920x1080p 60Hz and 1440p 60Hz right?

Hdmi 1.3/1.4 can do 1080p 60Hz and 1440p 60Hz, Hdmi 2 isn't necessary..

k, then is hdmi 2.0 intended for 4K and 5K etc.?

 

[boju]

Yeah. Hdmi 2 for 4k 60Hz. Hdmi 1.3/1.4 can still do 4k but at 30Hz.

Yeah. Hdmi 2 for 4k 60Hz. Hdmi 1.3/1.4 can still do 4k but at 30Hz.

K, thanks
