well I think if 2.0 is fine but you do see some on that using the lower hdmi like 1.4 ??

one thing you do notice looking at this is there not ever clear on truly supports 144 or not . just seems a lot of side stepping on firm specs on that ?
if it came down to it I would just use the dual link dvi
take like this 144hz monitor and look at its specs and see using the hdmi on it is good to 120hz and only the dvi and display port is listed for 144hz
ZOWIE's XL gaming monitors deliver uncompromised performance and flexible adjustability for FPS esports titles. Available in 144Hz and 240Hz options.

that's where you need to look at your monitors specs like from that asus and see how the ports used are supported
I loked at several 144hz monitors and that asus so far is the only one that states that specs showing theres does 144hz on dvi/display port only ?
like dell page 12 give that info hdmi is 60 only then it seems only 144hz at that one resolution under display port

sure looks like you get a 144hz monitor no matter what it may not even can fully do 144hz
ben q just leaves you hanging no info at all

like in that gamers nexus article hdmi 2.0 may do 144hz but not in the way you think or fully like they said on that .
