Hi all,

So I am in the market for a new monitor as my LG W2261VP is starting to play up with the monitor settings UI randomly flickering on and off - have tried to fix it but to no avail.

I have settled on the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-2...-widescreen-led-gaming-monitor-mo-14d-lg.html which I believe gives a good balance of spec, performance and future proofing against a frugal budget - that decision took three days!

However, a problem. It only has a HDMI and DP inputs which may be a struggle for my http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/produ...9-280-double-dissipation-edition-r9-280a-tdfd as I am already using the HDMI for a second monitor. There was an issue with getting the second monitor to work with the second DVI connector hence using the HDMI.

There are two mini-DP outputs from the GCard - would these work or as I suspect, are they restricted in frequency? All advice would beVMA and thank you in advance.
 
you could get a mDP to DP cable and run it via displayport no problem, and the DP will still support Freesync @ 48-144Hz

hope that helps
