I am wanting to purchase an external monitor for my laptop. I had wanted to buy a monitor capable of 100hz, 120hz or 144hz at 1080p but I am not sure if I can.... I use my laptop primarily for gaming, programming, and school. My laptop has an HDMI port and a VGA port. I need to know if it is possible for HDMI to run 100+ hz. I am not sure if my HDMI is 1.4a or up, and I am not quite sure how to find out, so if that is required, please tell me how I can find out if it is 1.4a or up. I would also like some suggestions on monitors. Btw, if you need to know the exact specs, or anything else about my laptop, please tell me, I will be happy to provide you with any information! Thanks!
