General Monitor Question

[jefftr66]

I am using 2 of these:

MP 27" Zero-G 1440p 144Hz FREESYNC LED Gaming Monitor, Black VESA

with my build - my general question is there much difference if I connect with HDMI vs DP?

I am not sure if it is still true but Nvidia cards and HDMI used to only output RGB values from 16-235. DP is generally better supported by macOS and definitely outputs full RGB 0-255

Good to know - are they different in the resolution they can display?

DisplayPort 1.2 will do 4K @ 60hz. HDMI 1.4 is limited to 4K @ 30hz but will do 1440P @ 60hz. HDMI 2.0 will do 4K @ 60hz but it is not natively supported by macOS.

Great - thanks. That's what I thought I read but couldn't find anywhere. Thanks for the help!
