Question I cant get high refresh rate on external monitor connected to my gaming laptop ?

[stizlshnizl]

Hi folks,

I have a Lenovo Legion 17TH6H Gaming Laptop which I want to connect to an Asus VG248QE external monitor.

The thing is my laptop does not have a DVI port or DisplayPort, and I cannot get 144hz on my external monitor through HDMI ?

Please suggest a solution for this.

Thanks.

Only way is if laptop has usbc capable video port then you can do this with a usbc to displayport cable. Tried searching your laptop specs, i see a 17ITH6H with 'I' but no 17TH6H. 17ITH6H supports displayport 1.4 via it's usbc/thunderbolt port and would work with your monitor. Displayport is backwards compatible so no issue with DP 1.2 monitor.

Just gotta confirm what you have exactly and if it also supports displayport via usbc.
