I have question about ports and 144hz

[eirik.sp.2002]

So i have a lenovo y700 laptop and i want to get an external monitor. Unfortunately i dont think it has any other ports than hdmi. The monitor i will buy is 144hz. Is there any way of getting a cable system that will support 144hz?

HDMI should be fine...? I am not sure what your question is?

The consensus on the web is that your laptop has an HDMI v1.4b output. This will support a 1080p (1920x1080 resolution) monitor at 144Hz or a 1440p (2560x1440) monitor up to 75Hz.

Not necessarily. While in theory HDMI 1.4 can carry up to 1080p 144Hz, in practice most 144Hz monitors do not allow high refresh operation with the HDMI port and only allow 144Hz on Dual Link DVI or DisplayPort.
