supports DisplayPort - (standard size) you can buy adapters cheap that will take just about any connector to that type connector.

if your laptop has MiniDP output, this would work perfectly:

I use this to connect from DisplayPort on my GPU to the mini DisplayPort on the link box. Works perfect for me.

If your monitor has display port, use that and use hdmi for vive. If it does not, you'll need either a hdmi to DP adapter or (preferably) a miniDP to DP cable like this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YOQYQWY

You'll have to make sure cable is a high speed one

This cable on Amazon totally fixed it for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YOQYQWY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(Thanks to the suggestion in this forum: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/dell-u2715h-and-sierra-cannot-get-2560x1440-via-dhmi.1984770/)

Well, you did just buy a new expensive monitor so there's no reason not to spend a couple extra bucks on a good cable. TBH I'd get a cable with significantly more reviews like the one I linked below.

If you do end up getting a cable that doesn't work (assuming you checked the spec if it's listed) Amazon's return policy would probably cover it.

I actually got that same monitor a couple days ago and my gpu only has 2x mini DP (and hdmi/dvi) and this cable works fine for me https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YOQYQWY. However my HD 7770 doesn't support freesync. (I'm getting a new 480 soon!)

this is the cable i have used with the Vive without issue

Check the ports on your GPU and look what gets shipped with the monitor.
My GPU only has a miniDP (its basically the same, just different formfactor) but my monitor only came with a standard-sized DP cable so I also had to order a "DP to miniDP"-cable aswell.

Make sure this doesnt happen to you.

PS: In terms of brand I wouldn't worry too much. Just go to amazon or something and take one around 10 bucks.... like this one for example

Welcome! I have a few suggestions that might help you out

• For you connectivity issues- you can get a cheap $10 displayport to mini displayport cable so your display can stay on HDMI. It seems you already know that, but hopefully you won't need your workaround very long
  
  
• For the sickness, have you set the IPD (Inter pupillary distance) on your HMD? There's a small knob on the right. You can measure this yourself with a ruler and a mirror, or have your optician do it. I noticed when I didn't have mine right that I'd get a headache and nausea after exiting VR.

Is the displayport cable included?

Edit: Seems like it isn't, I haven't found it and it's not on the contents paper. Which cable would work for this? Would this work, or is it the wrong direction?

Nevermind, missed the SB[2]. Depending on the monitor, 3.0 to HDMI Video Graphics Adapter with Audio for Multiple Monitors up to 2560x1440 for around $20.


Depending on the monitor, the most you might need is an mDP to HDMI (preferably active) adapter for about $18 or maybe a Mini DP to DP Cable for $9 if your monitor supports it. If you start to think multi-monitor (screen real estate) I'm a fan of the Microsoft Dock, which gives you two mDP and other nice features like 4 full-powered USB 3.0 ports.

I did know that but forgot, so thanks. Something like this?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rankie-Plated-DisplayPort-MiniDP-Resolution/dp/B00YOQYQWY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511721995&sr=8-1&keywords=miniDP+to+DP+cable

That's quite odd - I've never heard of such a MiniDP->DP adapter limited to 1080p. I suspect that is a packaging error where they re-used the same language from the brand's miniDP->HDMI adapter.

The simplest approach is to just get a miniDP->DP cable like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Rankie-Plated-DisplayPort-Resolution/dp/B00YOQYQWY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483665382&sr=8-2&keywords=mini+dp+dp+cable

Then there is no signal insertion loss from any adapters and less crap to go wrong. Now what will you do with the useless DP->DP cable that came with the monitor? ;)

The link box had a mini displayport. Get one of these and you're good to go.

You only need to use either a single DisplayPort or a single HDMI. I use the display port, and it works fine -- the HDMI I connect to the TV. You will need to buy your own cable though https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YOQYQWY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I and at least one other person have used this with success.

Hey!

Was just offered a free monitor from one my of teachers who saw me browsing for PC monitors in class. All I know about the monitor he offered is that it has an "HDMI cord" and is "Samsung." It appears to be this model (though I'm not positive).

I'm looking to hook it up to my PC, which currently has two monitors connected to DVI, plus another 144hz monitor on the way which will be connected using a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.

So here are my questions. One, will my [Radeon 7870] (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MhQypg/xfx-video-card-fx787acdfc) support all 4 monitors? Will it lag when I play CS:GO solely on my on-the-way 144hz monitor? If so, will it be easy enough just to shut off one or two monitors when I play? Should I worry about power consumption? For reference, here is the rest of my build.

Appreciate any and all help!

Would this cable work: https://www.cablematters.com/pc-1057-154-mini-displayport-to-displayport-14-cable-with-8k-60hz-video-resolution-hdr-support.aspx.

Also, is this the cable you were talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-DisplayPort-Cable-Ready-Plated/dp/B00YOQYQWY.

No. All you need is this cable: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Rankie-Plated-DisplayPort-Resolution/dp/B00YOQYQWY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1483053819&sr=8-4&keywords=mini+displayport+to+displayport

Then connect it to the mini display port of the laptop and display port of the monitor.

lso make sure you select 144Hz under the display adapter properties in Windows 10. Like shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LML-bKLwgtU

Not sure about that one in particular but I much prefer the mini dp cable setup as was having connection issues with hdmi. I've used this one works great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YOQYQWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_M5EyybE2C5469

Can't I use this cable ? I want the G-Sync feature.

I'm looking at the Dell S2417dg which I believe has a displayport. So would a cable like this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YOQYQWY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480353797&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=mdp+to+dp&dpPl=1&dpID=41KPvpbDu9L&ref=plSrch

work with a 144hz monitor?

the one I have is

just grabbed this one. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Rankie%C2%AE-Plated-DisplayPort-Resolution/dp/B00YOQYQWY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A1RI0YHZ8J2HZU

No problem, I am glad if I can help.

and this cable:

https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-DisplayPort-Cable-Ready-Plated/dp/B00YOQYQWY

I got this one and it works great. Says supports up to 2k (1440p) not 4k if you're looking to upgrade. Just check out reviews and you can always return

Edit: Meant this dp to dp

I've got a MacBook Pro 15-inch, Late 2011, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB connected to a Dell P2715Q 4k monitor via a Mini DP to DP Cable. I just switched to 3840x2160 (4k) and it's running at 30hz.

Doing some more digging, one fellow said that this cord worked just fine for him, so i believe this is the one I'll be ordering. I'll let you know the results when it and my Vive come in.

I bought this one and it works great Mini DP to DP Cable

Looks like it has three DisplayPort connectors, but they are Mini DisplayPort. These are functionally completely equivalent to their full size counterparts.

You need a cable like this, and it will work with GSync.

HDMI won't work, use a mini-displayport to DisplayPort adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Rankie-Plated-DisplayPort-Resolution/dp/B00YOQYQWY/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484680418&sr=1-3&keywords=mini+displayport+to+displayport

Edit: this is just assuming the laptop can output the resolution. Most HDMI interfaces are just for 1920x1080 on computer monitors, whereas DisplayPort will have the full resolution

mini dp to dp $9
