One reviewer mentioned " the DP cable that is required for true 144Hz fast refresh gaming is sold separately "...anyone know about this?
1339535
Mine did not come with the DP cable. Even the Quick Start Guide says sold separately. But the cables are cheap, anyway, about $8-$15 depending on length.

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though. Yes, I have, that's why I bought it.

It's a LED monitor with 120hz refresh rate, 1ms response (GTG) time and also it's a 3D monitor..Here is the Amazon link if that will help you. You can also access the BENQ website for more info.BenQ High Performance Gaming XL2720T 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitorbtw, I love this monitor, if I had to name one con, it's that the colors are not a true as other monitors are. Colors seem a bit washed out...but, a little tweaking on the settings can correct most of that. This screen's strong point is the 120hz that delivers smooth images in gaming...FPS look fantastic, no lag or blur and the monitor itself is beautiful.

I believe it was just the VGA cable. A DVI isnt too expensive. you can get one for between 5-10 bucks and shouldnt deter you from buying the awesome budget monitor!

All indications are that yes, this monitor works with the Display port (1.2) input BUT I have been reading in the Dell forums that these monitors may have a bug from dell manufacturing. While using display port 1.1 all seems find but when trying to daisy chain displays and enable display port 1.2, the monitors become undetectable. Here is the rub, I am NOT using display port, I am using DVI cables supplied by dell and I get the same issue where intermittently a monitor(s) disappear and just can not be detected until the dvi cable(s) are removed from said monitor(s) and replaced - This is terrible. Finally the monitor in question just died and will not power on. I now have to send the monitor to dell to be fixed. Finally, I switched back to one of my older 22" LED monitors to use with the second working 27" Dell and now IT is exhibiting the same behavior - God help me.... In sum, Is the monitor worth it? OH My, yes it is! It looks Fantastic! BUT make sure your purchase some luck and patience because it looks like there are firmware issues on these monitors and the fixes are slow in coming and may require that the third party video card developers may need to tweak their drivers to fully work with these monitors. In the development/manufacturing world this would be considered as a debacle and now I am in the middle of it. Sheesh...

The DVI works fine. The problem is likely your video card and possibly the cable.Read the specs and you will see that it requires a specific kind of DVI (there are four).The cable looks similar but the pin-outs are different.Look for a video card that supports the dual DVI connection.These cards tend to be more expensive, which makes sense as you are pushing a high resolution.You will need a card with at least 2 Gig of memory (prefer DDR5; or min DDR3) or your experience will suffer.Look at an AMD Radeon 7700 series or higher card.If I recall correctly, it requires dual DVI.

make sure you set the refresh rate to 144 through whatever control panel you have for graphics (Nvidia or AMD) If you don't have drivers, then get them

I'm not quite sure, but I've heard there have been many problems achieving 120Hz with and HDMI cable. If I were you, however, I'd get display port, it's basically the future. Regardless of that, this monitor is very, very, nice. It's responsive, it looks beautiful, and was rather easy to setup. Definitely worth the price.

Chris Dowley below is correct. Works perfectly....purchased the equipment from Microcenter RETAIL vs Amazon. So nice to have help....so refreshing! AMZN charged me extra to overnight a cable, didn't deliver, waited two days, lost it......found a local MicroCenter.com store, a Napoleon Dynamite character to find a solution, and bought display port to VGA cable for 32.8% less and than Amazon, got it the same day, AND PAID A SALES TAX!!!!!!! Best Buy, Target, Officce Depot/Max nothing....

http://www.displayport.org/cables/how-to-choose-a-displayport-cable-and-not-get-a-bad-one/ From what I have read, all DP cables should support 4k @ 60Hz and other DP standards.

From reading the manual (which I downloaded from the Support section of www.sonystyle.com), it said that HDMI-to-DVI cables and HDMI-DVI adapters are not recommended, but it didn't explicitly say they wouldn't work. Reading between the lines, it seems they aren't recommended only because they only send video information, and you'll need a second connection for the audio...which is really no big deal, if you ask me.If anyone can provide more information, I'd appreciate it. I'm planning on buying this receiver soon but my cable box only does DVI, not HDMI, so this would be a deal-breaker.

Yes mine did. It plugged right in but the dvi-d cable was slightly shorter due to the required bandwidth. please notice the video card required for this monitor. It is a direct monitor that bypasses the internal conversion electronics you get with a standard monitor.This is fantastic for performance gaming. But you cant run it from a standard laptop.

You don't need drivers for this monitor, as soon as you connect it via HDMI it should be recognized. If you want it to run at a higher refresh rate that 60 Hz you have to create a custom driver using Powerstrip. You then create a custom resolution (1920X1080) and refresh rate (I suggest 72 Hz) and create the driver. Then go into advanced display settings/monitor in Windows. Click on Properties and go to the Driver tab, then you'll see update driver option. Select Browse your computer option and select the folder containing the custom driver. Save the driver in case you have to do it again in the future. This is how I got mine to run at 72 Hz and it works perfectly...

The monitor I received included a compatible power adapter and had a heavy-duty DVI-D cable included. The cable is capable of 120Hz as I have mine overclocked to 120Hz and am using the cable that came with the monitor. I have had no issues with this excellent monitor and am very pleased with my purchase.

Well as far as I know it come with one display cable mini DP to DP, 1 DVI-D cable (dual link) and one USB 3.0 up-stream cable.

InfiniteRecall has the correct answer. You need an active adapter which costs extra. It'll work, but kinda pricy. At that point you might as well look for a good deal on a monitor with DisplayPort, which only needs a mini-DP to DP cable (about $10).
