| Aug 6, 2019 at 15:07 | comment | added | David Manton | I'm just generally interested in whether this could be a real issue or not? I genuinely can't see the difference. It sounds like it could be, but how obvious might these differences be? | |

In the Nvidia panel it would be under Display -> Change resolution and at the bottom. I don't know where it would be on AMD or Intel drivers... | |

| Aug 6, 2019 at 14:19 | comment | added | Ramhound | This depends on which revision of HDMI and Display Port the monitor supports, which revisions the cables themselves support, and what revisions of those standards the display adapter on the machine supports. Your question does not provide enough information to determine the reason the picture quality might be different. | |
