What dp cable to get?

[Nafaled]

Im getting a msi G274QPX and i dont know what displayport cable to get. Needs to support 1440p 240hz and hdr.

The display likely comes with one, even though the manual states its "Optional". A standard CableMatters cable is perfectly fine. https://a.co/d/a0xrw2j

 

 

As for HDR, you're going to want to leave that off, that displays HDR performance (as with most cheaper edge-lit panels) is awful.

Regional variance. Unlikely there is much of a difference in the actual display portion at all.

They seem like the exact same monitor and same specs so i dont think theres a difference

This is common for monitors sold around the world.

IF your monitor does not come with a DP cable (most commonly supplied cables are HDMI), then I'd suggest you go for broke when it comes to cable. I'd suggest a DPLink/Club 3D/Silkland/etc VESA Certified DP2.0/2.1 cable to meet present and future needs. All my HDMI (2.1) and DP (2.0/2.1) cables are the latest and greatest because I might upgrade my monitor and TV (looking a 144Hz 65"/75" VRR AMD F-sync Premium TV). When I do upgrade, my cables are ready to handle the new resolution and refresh rate.
