Frequently asked questions

Which HDMI or DisplayPort cable do I need?

Every HDMI and DisplayPort cable works with a gaming monitor. The higher the version, the more powerful the cable. You need an HDMI 2.1 for 4K 120Hz console gaming. In the next advice article, we'll explain more about the right cable for your gaming monitor.

Is a DisplayPort connector better than HDMI for my gaming monitor?

When you want to start with PC gaming, choose DisplayPort. Thanks to the higher bandwidth, a higher resolution and a higher number of frames per second are possible. More of a console gamer? Choose the highest HDMI version possible.

What are the advantages of a curved gaming monitor?

Thanks to the curve of the screen, the screen curls around your field of view. This panoramic effect lets you experience more depth and makes it look like you're right in the middle of the game. Tip: play games in first-person mode for the best effect.

How do you set the refresh rate of your gaming monitor?

How does a gaming monitor work with a console?
