Do i need to purchase any cables to use it in 2560x1440 capacity. Or it comes with the needed HDMI cable.

You need to use the displayport cables to display at 2560x1440. If your Mac has Thunderbolt connectors you'll need a miniport (thurnderbolt) to displayport adaptor. 2560x1440 will not display with HDMI nor DVI.

Monitor comes with a DisplayPort cable. I set to 2560x1440, you'll need to have a video card capable of that resolution and having a displayport output. We found the type too small and are happily running using HDMI resolution.

Most HDMI systems can't display 2560x1440. (Some very new ones can, but Macs for example can't.) Displayport is a more reliable way to get full res. For a mac, get a cable that goes from thunderbolt/mini-displayport on one end and full-sized displayport on the other end. Mine only came with a DVI cable.

I've had this about 2 months and it is working well. It came will all the cables I can imagine one would need, including HDMI.

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

Do not use an HDMI cable. :) Doing so will only get you 1080, which is not the full resolution (1440) that this monitor is capable of. If you're happy using HDMI at 1080 then you might as well buy a 1080 monitor for half this price. You'll definitely want to use DVI or DisplayPort to take advantage of the full resolution. If you have trouble reading the screen then you can adjust that in Windows / Mac OS X.

No HDMI cable in my box, just DisplayPort and DVI. I used my own HDMI cable with an HP laptop and have it working fine at 2560x1440. HDMI is not limited to 1080 as one reply states.

You need the latest spec HDMI cable. The old standard did not provide this feature.

Caitlin Gagnon, The HDMI cable is not included in the box. It would need to be purchased separately. There are a great number of inexpensive HDMI cables available on Amazon here that should work just fine:

A standard HDMI cable is what you need. Best to get one from amazon basics. Anything else is just a waste of money. They are all made to the same standards.

Hi Thank you for your interest but I'm sorry Intergrated(on-board) graphic chip can not support 2560x1440 resolution directly. So we can't guarantee the compatibility. Thanks.

I believe it came with hdmi and saga cables. There's also a dvi connection if memory serves. A quick google of the model should answer better though

You have to use DVI. the HDMI cable will not support full screen. It's dumb, I know, but DVI puts out the same quality.

DVI video port gives you digital signal capable of 2560x1200 or higher resolution. What else HD do you need? HDMI? Most likely you can use DVI-&gt;HDMI dongle

It is not necessary. I used mine with the conventional box 21" TV and it worked just fine with excellent picture quality.However if you want to use an HDTV for its superior performance, that will just be fine. Regards.

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.

Have my doubts, go online or check the manual and check the max resolution if 2560 it will work.

Hi Thank you for your interest. Yes it supports 2560x1440 through DVI-D port. Thank you.

You will need an hdmi cable or a component video cable. Most cable providers supply these at no cost.

It comes with DVI, VGA, and speaker cable. No HDMI though, that one you must get separately.

No, HDMI cannot handle resolutions over 1080... You need either DVI or DisplayPort...

I have the same monitor as you do trying to connect a Vaio with this cable... and was able to connect a bit higher res, but not 2560x1440. I've been looking around for solutions too, but sadly laptop output display specs also seem to be a spec that falls by the wayside.
