Hello community!

I'd like to connect an 180Hz monitor to my laptop but I don't know if it is possible... I guess that I can't do that through HDMI because I don't want 60Hz I want 180Hz.

Is it possible to connect a converter from my USB type C to Displayport? I don't know if my USB C could works with this kind of wire...

The specs of your machine is

 

          https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06408059

 

It has following ports for video out:

  • 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C™ (10 Gb/s signaling rate, Power Delivery 3.0, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) port
  • 1 HDMI port (the specs does not say which one but manual says it is a gen 2.0 port).

For DP 1.4 :  https://cablenet.co.uk/news/detail/id/40

For HDMI 2.0 :   https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/hdmi-2-0-what-you-need-to-know/

 

Please note: refresh rate goes up resolution will go down and vice versa.

Regards.
