What works & limitations
- 1440p at up to 144Hz at 8-bit color
- 1440p at 60Hz without any limitations
- Standard 1080p and lower resolutions at full refresh rate
- 165Hz at 1440p is not achievable at full 8-bit color depth within HDMI 2.0 bandwidth
- 10-bit HDR at 1440p at higher refresh rates exceeds HDMI 2.0 limits
- HDMI 2.0 bandwidth is 18Gbps, insufficient for 1440p at 165Hz at full color depth
- Some monitors achieve 165Hz over HDMI 2.0 via chroma subsampling which reduces color quality
- DisplayPort 1.4 is the recommended cable for this monitor spec
