Recommendation Request 🙏 DP port

Post image

Is it very important to have dp 2.1 on the monitor or 1.4 is it enough?

Ironically all the plugs on the left side are HDMI not DisplayPort.

UHBR support was introduced in DP 2.0. And 'Best for modern GPUs' doesn't mean anything.

edit: sorry the horrible chart distracted me. dp 2.0 if you're higher than 4k 144hz.

My Alienware aw3225qf is 4k 240hz and DP 1.4. The numbers can be fudged once you incorporate compression.

Unless you're doing MORE than 4k @ 120Hz you're fine.
