Hello, I came here to ask if I buy this monitor and use a converter Displayport -> DVI-D, will I still be able to reach the 144hz? This is my only option because I'm using a laptop which only has HDMI, DisplayPort and Mini-DisplayPort, else I will be forced to buy the Asus VG248QE since it has a DisplayPort included already.

If this is true, does something like this work? http://www.pcdiga.com/2/9924/Adaptador-Activo-Disp.. , it's written in Portuguese but it's an active converter, will a passive one do the job? From what I understood, I only need an active converter for things like Eyefinity.

Also, MiniDisplayPort -> DisplayPort (in case I buy the Asus) will it also work?

Thanks for the answers

Best Regards

It should work, and it definitely needs to be an Active adapter. However I would go with the Asus simply because its one less thing to go wrong.
MiniDP and DP are the exact same thing, just ones smaller.
