144 hz Monitor With USB-C / Thunderbolt - Does it work? What You Need & How to Setup!

One thing I was wondering for a long time when creating my office setups and buying a bunch of laptops were if it works to run 144Hz monitors with USB C. That would enable a lot more high refresh rate options. in this video i show you what you need and what settings to apply to make it work.

MAN! You are a life saver! I just bought that same type of usb c to dp cable and have been trying to get the refresh rate to improve from 60hz to 165hz when connected to gaming monitor that both laptop and monitor can produce. I was missing one crucial step....switching from duplicate to extended

Thanks man, I already have a gaming laptop for 2 years now and I didn't know I could have more than 120 hz on my external monitor with USB-C

I don't lnow how yo express my gratitude because i've been searching for solutions fpr months, cheers mate 🍻🌸

Thanks so much, for the longest time I stuck to the idea of getting a USB-C to HDMI to get a higher refresh rate on my monitor but this completely changed my view since my monitor does have a DP that I was neglecting for the longest time.

Hi i have a laptop with a usb c port and a monitor with 240hz and a dp port so can i connect the cable and get 240hz?

[shreddedyeat]

This is quite helpful....I'm currently running my laptop on my Sim Racing rig and looking to upgrade my Sony Bravia TV to a proper Ultra Wide Screen 49" and mount it to my rig...However I was told that DP is better than HMDI but I don't have DP on my laptop....only HDMI and USB C! So I will hopefully go ahead with this approach! Thanks!

I have a question, I have a 60hz laptop, can it support 180hz monitor with a display port or I can just use hdmi 2.0?

[Jxay]

I’m using a USB-C to HMDI adaptor from my laptop to 165Hz monitor. The connection works fine, however the display on the laptop is way laggier and the fps is nowhere compared to the fps displayed on the laptop. I have tried using different resolutions but nothing seems to be working. Any advice?

I'm using a Thunderbolt 3 dock. Anker with my laptop thunderbolt 3 and a monitor 144 hz. The problem now is that the monitor and dock are far away now and the cae is too short. Need at least 8 ft. I'm using cable matters 3.3 ft. Any cable recommendations? I had two extra 3ft extensions, but they are 60hz support.

if i connect my asus rog laptop usb c to display port to a gaming monitor will i get 180hz ? i get 144 with usb c to hdmi tho will i get the max 180hz with usb c to dp ?

[kaine]

Gonna try to do this. I have 3 monitors now, and my top one is 100 HZ stuck at 60 because of the USBC to HDMI that I have and i want to use it at max potential

[rehansheikh]

For m1 pro. Can I connect 2 external display with high refresh rate via 2 thunderbolt 4 to display port cables connecting 2 monitors to the Mac?

[AWEG-qubz]

In a few days I'll be getting a Minisforum UM 790 Pro. This has 2 USB 4.0 ports,
at least 1 of which is a Thunderbolt. And I should be able to connect my iiyama 34-inch QHD display to it.
Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable cable yet.
What exactly should I be looking for?
Thanks

i have laptop asus tuf gaming f17 fx706hc. I connected a Benq Zowie xl2411k monitor to it via a USB-C display port cable, everything is fine, only the monitor turns off every 30 minutes, maybe more or less often for a few seconds and turns back on. Before that I used to connect the monitor via an HDMI cable and there was no such problem
