[SOLVED] HDMI only laptop to Benq xl2411p

[criiken]

Hey guys,

So I am in a bit of a predicament.

The laptop in question, ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS S GX502GV-AZ035T which I believe to be the Thai variant of a popular ASUS line that I am not too knowledgeable about only has an HDMI, USB-C, and USB 3.1 port. Is there any way for me to use some sort of cable that can connect my laptop to my monitor and run 144hz 1920x1080p?

I am currently using the HDMI cable that comes along with the monitor and if I want to run 120hz my display will be downsized quite a bit but other than that every other resolution is locked at 60hz.

For more information on the laptop, I'll leave this link here:

The problem could be a poor quality hdmi cable i would recommend trying to upgrade the hdmi cable before anything make sure it is one meant to support high hz 1080p

Or you can even look for a high quality hdmi to display port

Hey, thanks for the response. Do you have any recommendations on good HDMI to display port cables? I tried looking for some but most that I've seen are adapters that are locked at 60hz on all resolutions.

The HDMI port on the XL2411P is limited to 60 Hz at 1080p

That's a DisplayPort to HDMI cable, it won't work from HDMI to DisplayPort.

I recently purchased a 4K TV. I have my current laptop (W7 OS w/ intel integrated graphics, nothing fancy, no dedicated graphics card because I don't game) attached to it because I primarily use the tv as a giant monitor. Mostly I search the web, stream movies and tv off the internet. Not gaming. I've been trying to read about this online but everything seems to be about gaming and I feel like my issue is much simpler, and that I must be missing something so basic that there is no need for most of the the online articles to mention it!

In order to be able to see the screen as if it were a monitor I had to lower the laptop resolution to 1920X1080, even though the laptop “recommended” 3840×2160. The refresh rate is at 60Hz. At the higher resolution the print was so so very small on the TV that I couldn’t read it at all. (It was severely “underscaled” if that’s a thing.) But at 1920x1080 I feel like the picture is less than crisp, and that I am not taking advantage of the picture this TV could deliver. I am not talking about watching 4K videos (of which there are very few online right now), but just streaming a regular tv show, for example. I'm trying to figure out what settings will allow me to maximize crispness without sacrificing readability of the various icons and Windows buttons (because I can always zoom into the contents of a web page, but not if I can't see the "+" sign to do it!).

It is entirely possible that I do not understand this at all, btw. Will a 4K TV ONLY deliver 4K video crisply? Or should stuff at a lower resolution look good if I have the settings right?

FYI, my HDMI cable is a 4K-capable cable, 60Hz, 2.2.

THANK YOU.

There are HDMI to DisplayPort adapters available for up to 120 Hz at 1080p. If your laptop's USB-C port supports video output, you can also use a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter to get 144 Hz.

It will only work for DisplayPort graphics card to HDMI display, not for an HDMI to DisplayPort connection, as noted in the product description:

Note: This cable only supports DP signal to HDMI display, it is not bidirectional.
