I have been struggling finding a way to connect my laptop ( Nitro 5, 144hz, HDMI) to my 2K 240hz monitor through HDMI and displayport but neither of them work. It only can display 1080p 144hz.
How could i get the maximum res with 240hz or at least 1080p 240hz through my HDMI? Please help me!

it all depends on the version of HDMI & DP the laptop, the display, and even the cables support.

if the cables are not a late enough revision of either then they will not have the needed bandwidth to output higher resolutions or higher refresh rates.

the same goes for the laptop's ports.
if they are earlier versions of HDMI or DP then they will not support these high bandwidths either.
