Resolution Question

[ListedGuru]

Can anyone tell me if my Acer Aspire X (core I3) desktop with Intel 2500 HD graphics can run a 27" WQHD monitor at it's full resolution via HDMI? I'm not sure which version of HDMI my acer has (is there a way to check this)? I think it might need to be v1.4?

I really don't want to add a graphics card if if I can run a 27" WQHD at full resolution via HDMI. I'm not a gamer so just need it to work for general office stuff.

Thanks,

This article claims it's v1.4a

But it also claims no higher than 1080p on HDMI. It only supports 1440p on the DisplayPort.

You might be able to get it to work at less than 60 hz, but I have no idea how

The other question you have to ask is whether the monitor itself will do its native resolution over HDMI. Asinine as it is, some monitors will not.
