Im planning on buying a new monitor, the BenQ XL2420T, and since it is a 120Hz monitor, I stumbled upon a few questions:
1 - After researching, I saw many people saying that in order to get a true 120Hz experience, I would need to use a DVI-D port or a Display Port, but then I saw that HDMI 1.4b could output 1080p@120Hz. Is that true?
2 - When talking about HDMI versions, are those only cable versions or are there plug versions aswell ? If there are plug versions, how to tell which version is the one I have? (I know, for the cable, that it should be written somewhere near the plug). For the lack of my english, Im refering as plug the place where you put the HDMI cable in, like on the back of a TV or on a Graphic Card.
3 - My Graphic Card is a GTX 580 SSC 015-P3-1582-AR, which has 2 DVI-I ports and a single mini-HDMI port. Will I be able to output 1080p@120Hz connection-wise? If so, which port should be used?
Thank you all for the help =)
