Some monitors don't actually support 1440P over the HDMI. I have a dell that has that issue.

I'd suggest trying displayport if possible.

Yes get a displayport cable. HDMI is not the optimal high performance video cable. I use hdmi for my media screen but i use Displayport for my gaming screen.

my video card only has mini DP, is there some kind of converter out there? The handbook states that hdmi 1.4 and 2.0 should work

Yep, there are adapters and cable adapters.
