ROG Swift DP to HDMI ?

[Dicehunter]

Anyone know which type of cable I'd need to hook up a console to the Swift ?

Is it just a simple displayport/HDMI converter ?

For display yeah, but what about sound?

I'll be plugging in a headset into the XB1 controller for sound

Plus I'm getting a proper flatscreen next week so it's all good

I tried this with my PS4 as well as my Wii-U, neither worked. Black screen both times. I think it's got something to do with the G-Sync module.

The PG278Q lacks an internal scaler (i.e. it can't display a 1920 x 1080 signal) so is no good for games consoles. This is a crucial difference with so-called 'G-SYNC V2' displays such as the Dell S2716DG. They have an integrated HDMI port with proper scaler for games consoles etc.
