Yeah, there is no listing that says HDMI, 2.0 or not, supports 1080/144hz

It supports 4K 60hz

Do the math, 1080p is the same or less bandwith or whateverthefuck it is

Teacher in 5th grade did this

Her : "why is it not working"

Me "what isnt working?"

Her : " the computer!"

Me "let me see"

She had thought her monitor was Bluetooth

Her "what's wrong with it?"

Me "how do you have the monitor connected"

Her "Bluetooth"

She was using her own laptop for a lesson and she tried connecting her old Dell 4:3 monitor to it through Bluetooth.

Okay to try and help clear this up 

Yes it does support 4k 60hz 

and technically i'm sure you could in some instances "force" it to run 120hz 1080p. 

Its not always supported though.

Today I tried to explain to someone how Hot-Mail Works...    ...I've tried to explain everything about it very slowly and easy...  ...but this guy just didn't get it... ...I've gave up after 15 Minutes.

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

My "favorite" is when I get customer's asking me to do something we don't or calling in to have me get into one of their accounts or phone as if I have instant access. When they cannot understand why I cannot, I then have to explain to them that these things are not actively open for security and their privacy. At this point, some of them have hung up in a huff.

A recent instance involved a guy (I was working at AT&T advanced technical support at this point) who called in to have his email fixed on his phone. For starters, his iPhone didn't have the right password saved and his email was an outlook email which I did not have access to (nor could I pull it up online because our location blocked most sites they considered "out of scope"). In short, he wanted me to fix the password and then push the fix to his phone while he was at work and expected me to do this without him having do anything and insisted that we could do. The trouble is, we had no access at our location for remote access to iPhones (which requires iTunes to do) and outlook wasn't an email we serviced. If someone had done this for him in the past, it wasn't us. He said he keep calling back until he got someone who could help him.

 

My truly favorites are the ones who came to me about their phone making no sounds (iPhone) and they failed to check the silent switch on the left-hand side. At least these ones didn't get mad at me, they just acted embarrassed. :)

listen to the video i linked you :P 

i dont see screen tearing, and vsync is really annoying. :)

Dislike of V-Sync doesn't imply that playing beyond your refresh rate makes a difference. You can simply turn off V-Sync and use a frame rate limiter. There is literally no reason to render beyond the display's refresh rate. Your monitor will only display 60 images per second. If the GPU is rendering beyond that, the extra frames are either lost or they're displayed alongside others, resulting in the tearing effect.

 

In fact, this is how NVIDIA's "Fast" technology works. The GPU renders as many frames as it can(similar to turning off V-Sync), but drops the extras so tearing doesn't occur, and you get no additional input lag that would occur from V-Sync.

His next video will probably be a twenty minute rant where he complains about all the dead pixels on his screen.
