Questions regarding Asus VG284QE

[5adisticD3vil]

Planning to hoot a Asus VG248QE but there is some issue i need to clear up, my last monitor is a VA702b viewsonic so its a big jump for me.
this is for purely gaming and maybe some movie or porn

hope you guys can help clear things up

1. i read somewhere that the 144hz refresh rate for the VG248QE only works when connected in DVI-D and not HDMI.... is this true?

2. my PowerColor TurboDuo R9 280X 3GB have DL DVI-I, HDMI and 2 DP connections, does it mean i can't set refresh rate to 144Hz when i connect the DL DVI-D ( monitor ) to DL DVI-I ( graphic card ) ??

3. But if i get one of those DVI-D to DVI-I adapter, it should work right??

4. Does DP supports 144hz as well?

planning to hoot from amazon so i need to be absolutely certain before i click on the place order button

buying from local need to pre order and the wait is 1 month


btw anyone got lobang to hoot this locally without the long wait time??


thank you in advance

1. DL-DVI-D/I, DP can support 1080p, 120/144 hz. I think HDMI cant.

2. As point 1

3. DVI-D and DVI-I not much different, either 1 is fine.

4. Yes, Best to get it over DVI/HDMI as it can transmit audio as well, and has better bandwidth than HDMI.

Only way right now is to patiently wait for ASUS to send to you. Only ASUS is bringing very limited sets in. Reason due to the monitor only cater to niche market, aka FPS gamers who dun wan motion blurness. But, not many will buy coz too ex.

So either wait, get from amazon or find another brand (benq).

Erm for ur first point, do read the t&c, there is a limit for volumetric weight of 9kg. If ur parcel over shoot 9kg in volumetric weight, den cant free shipping. Thats the reason why cases, monitor, tv, speakers dun really qualify for free shiping even though its in fssg.

DHL jus stick the DO on the box and thats it. Since when shipping frm online dun have risks de....

lol noted.
i skipped the t&c part

anyway purchased riao, now i will have to pray like you for no cracks

1. In short, no, HDMI doesn't support 144Hz. For VG248QE, use either DisplayPort or DL-DVI.

2. The VG248QE's DL DVI-D supports the digital video that your card's DL DVI-I outputs, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.

3. If you get a DL DVI-D to DL DVI-I adapter. And since both monitor and card has DisplayPort, you can just try a DP cable.

4. ASUS' website says the 144Hz mode is also available over DisplayPort.
