QuestionI have a Nvidia Ge Force GT 710 graphics card with a maximum resolution of 4k.Will this work with HDMI port on my computer(no Display Port)?I dont plan on gaming,I just want to watch 2k-4k videos on my computer.Will HDR on monitor work with my video card?
Asked 8 years ago by 99jeep4x4.
- Answer According to Nvidia's site... https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-710/specifications Yes, your graphics card will be able to handle 2k video over an HDMI 2.0 cable. However, Nvidia does not say if it can handle HDR. I would suggest calling Nvidia directly for the fastest and most accurate answer. Best of luck!

Questionwhich version of display port it support? (1.4)?
Asked 6 years ago by katanapuffin.
- Answer I believe this has both standard and mini. This has hdmi but when i used it, it caused all sorts of problems and the solve is to revert back to an old hdmi protocol which doesn’t support all the newest features of hdmi, less than an ideal solution.
  I would recommend:
  - Insignia™ - 6' Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - Black

QuestionIs the audio exit a 3.5mm one? Can I plug a p2 cable? I wanna buy this to work and play on my videogames hooked to a stereo.
Asked 7 years ago by mferr.
- Answer Audio out is 3.5mm, correct. The audio source is through Display Port or HDMI I believe, so you should be able to hook a stereo up to the 3.5mm with the correct cable. If possible, however, I would recommend plugging the stereo directly into the computer/console you're playing your games on. The 3.5mm plug on the monitor is more of a convenience for desk speakers or headphones, so it might not have the best quality audio.
