Some people say that there is so far no HDMI cable can support a monitor over 1080p 60hz. it really confused me, is this cable different?

If you want to be technical there is really no service provider supplying a true 1080! With that being said you need to be careful with spending more money for no reason on HDMI cables that are equal in performance for more money. Most cables even ones supplied with new televisions are pretty good with accurate speed that you can not see the difference with the naked eye.

Was only able to go up 1080P@60hz by default ... I am using a gtx 670 for the test.I did a custom resolution through nv control panel and it actually go up to 2560x1440 but it didn't look good at all. DVI and DisplayPort seem to have no issues with it.

Dear Arch, Thank you so much for your inquiry. The Monster Cable Black Platinum HDMI cable most definitely will handle a 240Hz refresh rate. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

The monitor is not native 144hz. It is native 60hz but can use 144hz IF you provide it with the proper dual link cabling through DVI or Display port ONLY. If you use a console on HDMI the HDMI port input of this monitor is only 1.3 and cannot do 144hz, so the monitor will stay at 60hz due to the source. This is quite silly as HDMI 1.4 has been around since 2010 so and pretty much every piece of hardware made today has HDMI 1.4.. Why Asus chose an out dated HDMI port I have no idea.

I'm using VGA and I think the resolution is excellent. That said, I'm no expert and I've never compared it to HDMI (no cable). I went from a small 17" flatscreen VGA to this one and I'm very pleased with it.

those converter boxes to get one that does 1080p with decent quality and without adding a bunch of input lag... you might as well get a new xboxwhy a TV manufacturer would put a VGA input on a 1080p TV and not support 1920x1080 through that VGA input i'll never know

No, HDMI cannot handle resolutions over 1080... You need either DVI or DisplayPort...

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

I connected mine with dual-link DVI cable and it works fine. To get the high resolution it does need to be dual-link. You can tell if it by looking to see if it has pins in all 24 locations. Regular DVI will not support the high resolution. You can also use HDMI. It depends on the monitor and the graphics card what it supports. Hope this helps.

This is only a DVI-D Single-Link cable. The dual link cable can carry higher resolutions and more data due to their higher throughput. If your monitor is not more than 1080p (1920x1080) or WUXGA (1920x1200) @ 60Hz or less, this will work fine. If you are trying to use a 2K, qHD, or 4K monitor, then you will have to use either a Display port or at least the dual-link version of the DVI. Either that or deal with something like 17FPS.

don't use hdmi. use mini displayport ("Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable" is like $5 on amazon) to display 2560 x 1080 perfectly.

Ignore the post about the Monster HDMI cable. The HDMI signal is digital and it pretty much makes it there OK or you'll see some obvious picture artifacts that don't include blurring. While Monster (mostly) makes good cables, their claims of higher quality video are mostly hype. Motion blur: It's most likely to be the source material with the modern offerings of good LCD TVs, but older or less expensive LCDs could definitely suffer from it due to the slow response time of the LCD panel. If you're wondering about it in regards to TVs that do 120Hz, I'm on the fence on whether the 120Hz processing does anything useful. I've seen some TVs where the 120Hz processing does some pretty ugly things to the picture. I'm yet to see one that does something to noticeably improve the picture, but maybe some do. Right now I'm leaning towards 120Hz processing being a marketing feature primarily created to make you think your current TV is obsolete.

It's not an HDMI cable it is Display Port. I've been using it to play 1080p HD movies on my flatscreen from my computer and it works fine, audio and visually.

I've been using it in my monitor native resolution, which is 1920X1080. As it is a digital cable, I see no reason why it wouldn't work at higher resolutions, but haven't tried it.
