Does HDMI 1.4 support 144Hz at 1080p?
Yes, HDMI 1.4 can support up to 144Hz at 1920×1080. However, not all monitors with HDMI 1.4 necessarily do. Older 144Hz gaming monitors such as the Acer GN246HL, BenQ XL2411, BenQ XL2411Z, BenQ XL2430T, ASUS VG248QE, AOC G2460PF, etc are all limited to 60Hz over HDMI. Many monitors with HDMI 1.4 are also limited to 120Hz at 1080p. Moreover, most monitors with dedicated G-SYNC modules are limited to 60Hz over HDMI.

According to the video review below the HDMI 2.0 port's refresh rates are limited to 100Ghz so you're better off using the DP ports if you want to obtain the highest refresh rate.

Video review OP did a very thorough analysis and also indicated that the monitor is well calibrated out of the box. He did provide his suggested settings (see pic).

Why the OP can only do 50Hz instead of 60Hz can be a number of factors including the quality of the cable used, limitations of the laptop's graphics adapter, driver settings/limits, etc.
video is not the greatest quality hand is a little shaky holding phone while swirling the mouse around. you can see how the white letters almost disappear though

edit - turning up the black equalizer setting seems to help some but then everything looks gray and dull

From what I've read with this particular monitor the extent of black smearing is variable (some see it badly, others only see it a little) so there seems to be some QA manufacturing variance on Gigabyte's part. Black smearing sensitivity is especially problematic for individuals that enjoy playing a lot of fast paced games/FPS. From a productivity standpoint black smearing shouldn't be a big issue. If your'e sensitive to this you're better off getting a TN or IPS panel.
Most of the reviews that I've read discuss the original panel version for this monitor rather than the "A": version which is the version that is received with this deal and report black smearing as "minor." There's not a lot of informantion out there in regards to the difference between the two panels except that that the "A" panel has a better contrast ratio (increase of 3,000:1 to 4,000: 1) vs. the original. I'm not sure if the black smearing/ghosting is better/worse with the newer "A" panel vs. the original panel.
BTW you can test how bad a monitor's ghosting/smearing is by viewing the fast moving icon on this webpage: testufo.com/ghosting
i would be fine with some ghosting and smearing. honestly the ghosting isnt even bad imo. its just the black smearing is absolutely horrid. nowhere near as tolerable as a typical smearing or ghosting

its only really between black/gray and dark colors. if i drag a white window over a black background it doesnt smear into the white too bad. but there is what i would expect for a white halo ghosting trail. nothing i cant tolerate with the white ghosting though.
i have tried changing between 8/10bit, different refresh rates, dp 1.4 and 1.2 settings in monitor, hdmi 60/100hz. im convinced either this monitor is terrible and people just dont realize what theyre seeing or that i got a dud. if other people arent getting it as bad as mine ill try an exchange. dont wanna waste my time though if thats just the norm for this monitor
