Razer laptop to AOC monitor via HDMI

Hi all

Tried connecting my Razer 17 pro to my AOC AG273QCG and only got 60hz no matter what res i run at.
Monitor has HDMI 1.2 i think so i should be getting 144hz at 1080p i think?

Any advice in getting my HZ up?

Tia!

Hdmi 1.2 only does 60hz display port 1.2 does 144hz.

Ok, so seems a bit pants that they wouldn't put a DP port on a high end gaming laptop?

Would a HDMI to DP converter do anything? guessing not as it's the output at the laptop end that is the restriction??

Well looks like the laptop has 2.0b HDMI port so maybe a converter could work? to connect to the DP of the monitor?

If it helps, at least one of the USB-C ports on your laptop should be able to connect to the monitor at 144Hz via a USB-C to DP cable, this is how I have my Razer Stealth 13 hooked up to my 165Hz 1440p monitor.

Displayport over USB-C has been part of the spec for a few years now.
