Well, admitted do not quite understand the full limitation with HDMI though seen some article mentioning lower the refresh rate to 55 or lower...
Though going on the adventure of trial and error, only thing I've done is checked that my graphics card able to support. I did suspect the cable at first but the box indicated v1.4 (assuming it is as claim since it is a cheap cable from lowyat).
In the end, I tried updating the driver which then resolve the issue.
youll be hard pressed to find HDMI 2.0 in the market. its still rare. in fact, some shops are still selling 1.3 cables instead of 1.4

but youve got it fixed from the driver side?

4k is overkill for me
Thanks for summoning
marfccy hehe.
I never tried 25" before, compare to 25" and 27" which would you prefer?
depends on your preference really.
for my case, i dont have the desk space to accomodate a 27" and 23" together. so i picked the 25" instead
and boy it didnt disappoint. like i mentioned earlier, the pixel pitch can be troublesome at start, but you can fix it by adjusting Windows scaling or let your eyes adjust. in abt <1 month, the smaller text doesnt affect me anymore than those people who bought 1440p smartphones at 5" screens.
but if you like large screens, especially in terms of purely entertainment (movies games etc), 27" is the sweet spot
