Monitor cable to Graphics card

Post by Oldman » Sat, 5. Aug 17, 22:11

Hi :)
I apologise if this seems a dumb question but...

I have a ProLite B2409HDS iiyama 24" monitor that has an HDMI (1.2) connector at the back.
Max resolution of screen is 1920 x1080 and a refresh rate of 75HZ

I'm buying a new graphics card that has an HDMI 2 connector (amongst others). Can I use/buy an ordinary HDMI 1.4 cable to connect the two, or do I need a cable that is designated HDMI 2?

Any info most welcome. I've searched the web for an answer and I gather an ordinary HDMI cable will be okay, but I thought to ask here before I bought one. :)

Oldman :)

HDMI 2 is backwards compatible, you'll be fine.
