OMEN by HP 15-dc0005ne
Microsoft Windows 11

I bought new gaming monitor supporting 120hz on HDMI and 144 hz on DP. I tried connecting the monitor using USB-C and HDMI cable (2.1) and the refresh rate is only 60 hz.

Any solutions?

Thanks in advance

Its specs

 

           https://support.hp.com/ph-en/document/c06068786

 

It has

  • 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge);
  • 3 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (1 HP Sleep and Charge);
  • 1 HDMI;
  • 1 RJ-45;
  • 1 headphone/microphone combo

Just have a look:

  • The HDMI port which is NOT HDMI 2.0, only gives 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz
  • The USB-C port gives you DP 1.2 resolution and higher refresh rate using USB-C connection (no middle man) BUT DisplayPort 1.2 offers a maximum total bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps and the USB-C port on your machine only gives Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s.

Now you can see where the problem is.

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Regards.
