HDMI 1.4 spec confusion

[Mr. Veink]

Hi.

I was wondering, can I do 1440p @ 75Hz on a monitor that uses HDMI 1.4? Reading some older forum posts would suggest that it's 60Hz max for 1440p but my monitor at home has HDMI 1.4 and allows me to use 75Hz just fine on 1440p. I would be just happy for it to just work and continue my life, but I ordered an HDMI switch and started worrying if I can do 75Hz on it.

1.3 already supported 1440p @ 75Hz, 1.4 shouldn't have any problems.

If the monitor supports it. Some are limited to 1440p 60 Hz.

The monitor is 1440p @ 75Hz, it's just the switch I'm worried about.

TBH I have yet to dig through the detailed documentation. Other factors such as color depth and coding, audio channels may all eat up bandwidth, so sometimes some equipment won't run up to spec.

I picked up with switch today. It's not the exact product I ordered. It has the same amounts of ports and such so it's in that way the same but it seems they shipped me an HDMI 2.0 version of it, so there shouldn't be any issues regarding refresh rate.
