Can HDMI display at 75hz?
I have been using a 144hz TN monitor for the longest time. I just noticed that 75 hz for gaming is really all i need and so I was thinking of switching to an ips display for better color representation. I think I have found the monitor I need but it only has hdmi and vga ports. So does HDMI handle 75hz? I always was of the impression that it couldn't go higher than 60hz. Thanks in advance!

No you're totally wrong mate 75 hz is a huge difference if you're playing games on 75+ fps you'll notice after playing for a day on 75 hz and switch to 60hz you won't feel the smoothness of 60 fps anymore that happened with me too

You had to dig out a four and a half years old topic in order to express your opinion that his opinion is wrong. Cool.

Make sure it's hdmi 1.4 or 2.0
Supports up to 120hz so far I know.

yes it can do 75hz.

as far as color accuracy, it could be better but not necessarily. it depends on the display.

I have heard that IPS is much better for colors.

To quote myself:

IPS panels are better for color/image and viewing angles.
Tn is faster, but at a cost of color and angles.

Can I get anyone else to confirm this for me before I buy a monitor online?

IPS will do colors better, however if the pixle density deviates too high or low from native dpi, it can cause display errors. Note the "double Line" error iPhones sometimes have with really small red or blue text.

Anyway, even if you do not get an IPS, you can always use RGB at 8bits per color pixel to get the same color depth as an IPS on YCbCr444.

Just remember to calibrate your monitor or TV properly and you should be able to get the best possible color accuracy out of it.

DVI cables and newer HDMIs aren't really pricey. The 144 is worth it.

I find Displayport (DP) cables to be more .... compatible and less of a hassle to work with. I have an old Acer XR341CK, IPS panel and Freesync 75Hz capable. I think with the right HDMI cable, it should be able to run at 3440x1440, 75Hz, but I'd chosen to use my much more capable DP1.4 cable instead.

I do have a Ugreen and ATZ HDMI2.1 cables, but I use it on my Sony 4K BR player and my HTPC to my TV, hence my preference for using DP cable for PCs. As to original question from OP, I'd say that he should get the latest version HDMI cable (v2.1) and to ensure that the monitor is able to do Freesync/Gsync 75Hz via HDMI.

It doesn't hurt to get the most capable HDMI cable as these are backward compatible, my DP1.4 cables were bought a year to two years back, I can still use them on my RX 6900 XT and RX 7900 XTX cards without issue as DP1.4 can do up to 120Hz at 4K. Though, being the overspec'ed or overpowered nuttter that I am, I'd gotten a DP 2.0 cable for my RX 7900 XTX just for the heck of it.

Wow just got a reply today on this thread? Can anyone say community dedication? Thank you to everyone who replied to this discussion you are all pc gaming angels and master race gladiators! hehe! This situation is totally squashed now.

At this point I'm contemplating a 4k tv that can output at 120hz. Let alone a 1080p display that can handle 75hz. LMAO.

May force be with you! Always! To infinity and Beyond!

P.s. Just to be clear the difference between 60hz and 75hz is noticeable. And 75hz is certainly more ideal. But of course you always need to factor in price points! To each his own!

P.s.s. John, I love you. Promise me you will never change ok?
