So I connected my monitor, and in the NVidia driver where I could select the resolution I added the resolution 2560 x 1440 (60Hz, progressive). I must warn you that you must be sure that your monitor is capable of displaying that resolution, because apparently it is possible to damage your monitor of you set the resolution etc. Than after much digging I found that it is possible to create your own resolution (at least with my NVidia VGA driver). But just connecting to my IIYama XB2766QS gave me a max resolution of 1920 x 1080. So I used a HiSpeed 2160P HDMI cable (actually it also supports ethernet). I found that HDMI 1.3 and up need a High-Speed cable. Than I found that for some reason manufacturers cannot Always state the version of the HDMI they include (For my Asus I could not find it, although HDMI 1.3 is already quite old I did assume my laptop has at least HDMI 1.3). I am not sure if it will help you, but all I can tell you is that it worked for me.Īfter much digging I found that in theory a HDMI 1.3 device should be able to do this as long as a HiSpeed HDMI cable is used.


Both of these connectors are not available on my laptop.īut as I didn't find a clear answer anywhere I thought I might let you know how I solved it. I have a ASUS K93S and a IIYama XB2776QS and only after purchase I found in the manual that in order to use 2560 x 1440 I could only use the DVI dual link port or the displayport. I found many questions from people wanting to connect their 2560x1440 monitor on a laptop that does not support display-port or DVI.
