    ProBook 650 G2 has a DisplayPort but how high of a resolution does its internal video card support?

    I want to get a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, will it support that or am I limited to 1920x1080 monitors?

    I believe the answer is yes, it will work, but I am not 100% certain.
    Google search "ProBook 650 G2 2560x1440"
    Also, go to HP's website and read documentation for your laptop/notebook.

    My HP Pavilion 15t has a 1920x1080 display, but I use a 2560x1080 external monitor over HDMI 2.0
    I have no problems on the desktop (intel grapihcs) and no problems in games (nvidia graphics).
    I have no problems at all with my external monitor.

    Did both of the above, no positive searches came up. It does not have a dedicated video card.

    I want to get a Dell Ultrasharp that in 2560x1440 that's 27" but I think I could live with an Ultrasharp 1920x1080 in the 24" format.

    Both are light years head of the TN panel that's used in the laptop.

    To make it perfectly clear, ProBook 650 G2 does not have an HDMI port. Just DisplayPort.

    I connected NEC Multisync PA271W, it is a 27" device with the 2560x1440 configuration, what I wanted.
    Via the DisplayPort, it works nicely.
