24" 1080p 144hz monitor with HDMI 2.0

[Gahu]

Hey Guys,

I got my Razer blade late 2016 and I would like to take advantage of the neat little HDMI 2.0 ports for some high refresh rate gaming.
I know that this is doable using the TB3 ports, but the TB3 ports is not directly linked to the dGPU meaning that you gest some performance loss.

The HDMI 2.0 ports is directly linked to the gtx 1060 which means that if I get a monitor that supports 144 Hz through HDMI 2.0, I might expect a small performance boost.

Anyone knows a good 24 to 25 inch monitors that would support 1080p@144hz through an HDMI 2.0 ports?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe the 240Hz 1080p ones have HDMI 2.0 ?

I am not aware of any 1080p with HDMI 2.0.

 

You will probably have to use an HDMI to DP adapter.

As I posted in your other thread:

Only 2 or 3 monitors that will offer 120Hz+ over HDMI. ViewSonic XG2401 and Nixeus NX-VUE24A are the 2 I am aware of. Of course, do your own research before purchasing just to verify, but there aren't many options.

I actually checked after you comment and found the BenQ XL2540, the Viewsonic XG2530, the Asus XG258Q and the AOC AG251FZ that all allows 240 Hz through HDMI 2.0, but they all cost around 400 € which is quite expensive for my taste. Especially cause my laptop rarely goes over 150 frames in actual gameplay in Overwatch or Destiny 2 (main games I'm playing atm).

 

I also found the LG S25HG50 who does 1080p@144Hz and allows for 144hz through HDMI 2.0 for 280 €, I might go for that one but if anybody knows a cheaper alternatives, I'd love to hear about it.

Yeah but the issue with 120 Hz, is that I lose the benefits of the performance gain in some most of the games.

HDMI 1.4 is sufficient for 1080p 144 Hz. There's no benefit to having HDMI 2.0 for that.

 

The XG2401 and NX-VUE24A will get 144 Hz over HDMI.

Well Tom's Hardware states that the Nixeus only does 120Hz through the HDMI and did not found any source to back up your claim for the XG2401, do you have personal experience with any of these monitor to confirm what you are saying?

Yes, I have the XG2401. It works at 144 Hz over HDMI. That monitor was also said to only support up to 120 Hz by reviewers, but works at 144 anyway.

 

As for the Nixeus:
