Cafe — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 15:46:39 +0800

Looking to connect a monitor to my laptop. The laptop screen is huritng my eyes.
An old laptop about 4 years old.

Laptop spec:
The spec 15inch(120hz) 1050 3GB and i7 9750H.
The laptop connector is hdmi and minidp.
The hdmi spec is either hdmi 2,0 or 1.4 only,
The minidp is either dp 1.4 or dp 1.2 only.

Requirement either 24inch FHD or 25inch FHD or 27inch QHD.
Type IPS or fast IPS
Color depth: 8bit or 10 bit(dont know whats the difference)
Type flat panel(I want flat dont want curve)
Refreh rate anything above 100HZ
Ports must have hdmi and dp ports(if got another vga port even better)

Usage games mainly fps games, fortnite and some steam games I bought recently.
and I read lot of tech sites. and watch youtube too.

Cables needed atleast 1.5meter long hdmi cable and minidp to dp cable. I need both type cables incase either hdmi or minidp dont work.

Monitor must be from CGI store in shopee cause there have a service pixel charge for RM46 now for monitor below RM1000.

Monitor price RM1000.

Please the shopee link.

The monitor list in CGI store is alot I really dont know what to choose.

Thank you.

Really needed some monitor recommendation please.

some cables and monitor for my laptop

I have a old laptop.

The spec 15inch 1050 3GB and i7 9750H.
The laptop connector is hdmi and minidp.
The hdmi spec is either hdmi 2,0 or 1.4 only,
The minidp is either dp 1.4 or dp 1.2 only.

I need a 3 meter to 5 meter cable for both types and also a vga cable too but dont know its from hdmi or minidp port.
both connector ports I never use before.

I also need a montior either 25inch or 27inch monitor IPS.
I sit quite close either 2 feet or 3 feed to laptop so monitor range should be around that.

Now the problem not sure 8bit or 10bit color for monitor. Current laptop screen is 120hz 8bit color if I remember correctly. 45%ntsc I think.
Monitor wanted
IPS
Refresh rate dont know 120, 144, 165, 240hz I use for gaming for fps and alot of readings.
Resolution FHD or QHD.

I am perfectionist so monitor should be pixel pefect.
I look into illegear monitor so far the one that caught my eye is either apex 25 fhd 240hz ips or apex 27 165hz qhd.
titan army P2510S 240hz qhd.

Monitor port requirement must have dp and hdmi if can have also vga(if possible optional only).
Well someone said he have a very old old old monior but only vga connector not sure working or o not. So that why I need a vga cable too.

The reason looking into illegear and titan army cause they have pixel warranty.

Any suggestions?

The monitor also is preparation if I ever get a new desktop computer.

I saw this
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5033446

Do I just go to 7 eleven ask for RM!0 and get the code in receipt. Then how to I add the amount using the code into my gmail account using a computer browser such as firefox?

Google have a new term for inactivity but there's a clause that said if there's money in gmail account the account wont be deleted.
