simply dragging a window around the screen) looks very choppy. It should "just work" at 35Hz, you can experiment and try to go higher (the higher the refresh rate, the smoother animations/movement will be).

You should then be able to select the newly added resolution (if it's not already selected). Select "CVT-RB" for the "Timing Standard" dropdown.Īt this point you may have to restart your computer. Select "16" in the "Color Depth" dropdown.ġ0. For the "Refresh Rate" field, enter "35".ĩ. Ensure the "Basic Settings" radio button is selected.Ĩ. Click on "Display" and then "Custom Resolutions" in the left-hand pane.ĥ. Select the "Advanced Mode" radio button and click OK.Ĥ. To elaborate on yeaa24's instructions above:ģ. I have achieved 2560 x 1440 on the Dell U2711 using a number of laptops with HDMI ports, but I never managed to get beyond a 35Hz refresh rate (perhaps because of my cable, not sure). You will be able to obtain 2560 x 1440 resolution from an Intel HD 4000 on-chip graphics and a HDMI port, but I very much doubt you'll get a 60Hz refresh rate via HDMI. Lemme know cause I really want to get that monitor too haha. I was wondering if what they did could work with you PB278Q or crapme's external dell monitor.Īnyways if the your Samsung series 9 outputs at hdmi ver 1.3 or 1.4 and is category 2 at 340MHz it should be able to output 2560v1440 at 60hz to that monitor cause it should have enough bandwidth for it. Besides doing a custom resolution at 2560x1440 they also had to:ģ) and lower their refresh rates if it didin't work at 60HzĪll this through either through the Nvidia Control panel or Intel Media and Graphics Control Panel. I came across this forum at Īnd it looks like they found a solution. But seeing as I don't have display port or dvi-D on my laptop I looked for a solution.

I have heard hdmi only allows up to 1080p for wqhd monitors.

But before I do I wanted to know if it'll work as well. I just bought a sony vaio S 15.5 and am planning to buy that monitor in the future. Hey Philipp, I would also like to know if it's possible to operate the PB278Q via HDMI at 2560x1440, 60Hz.
