HDMI 1.4, D-Sub, DisplayPort 1.2, Dual-link DVI-D

Which are truly adequate for 2K IPS at just 60Hz?

We may have to switch from the DVI-D to one of the others.

I would advise display port but normally if your monitor runs at 2k it should only allow you to attach the required connector/s

for 2560x(1440|1600)p, HDMI 1.4, Dual Link DVI (single link DVI is not enough), or DisplayPort is required. DVI-I or DVI-D doesn't actually matter (for you), DVI-I is a superset of DVI-D and you'll be using the D portion on either cable.

VGA (D-sub) maxes out a 2048x1536ish. It's device dependent...

I guess what I'm really asking is: If I switch from DVI-D to either Display Port 1.2 or HDMI 1.4, will I be losing anything with this particular monitor (ASUS PB27Q). Is either the better choice?

Thanks!

Display port is the better choice as it supports up to 4K at 60hz and also has a lock to stop the connector from coming loose

2k @ 60Hz either connection type DVI-D, HDMI or DisplayPort in your case will be identical. Dsub is limited to 1080p @ 60Hz according to Asus's spec sheet.

DVI-D DualLink can achieve upto 144Hz using 1080p resolution and 1440p @60Hz. DVI-D Single link is limited to 1200p @ 60Hz

Displayport 1.2 of HBR2 standard can achieve 2k @ 60Hz/144Hz/ 4k@ 60Hz - Make sure Displayport cable has been Vesa certified and is HBR2 if you need to buy one. If Asus supplied you with the monitor that will be fine.

HDMI 1.4 Highspeed standard can achieve 2k @ 60Hz/4k @ 30Hz

HDMI 2 Highspeed standard can achieve 4k @ 60Hz and possible for 1080p @ 120Hz

We switched the monitor from DVI dual-link to Display Port without problems.

But now we need a new desk intended for two displays. LOL.
