    Hello ! I just purchased a new AOC curved Q27G2G4 and have to choose to connect it to my Nvidia RTX 2060 thru HDMi or Display Port as both screen and graphic board are compatible to both, both Display port and HDMI cable are supplied with the screen.
    What do you advise me ? thank you

    You have both cables why not try both and see which you like better?

    Latest versions of both standards (+ adequate certified cables) are overlapping each other in some details.
    Assuming you have capable stuff (source, gpu, cables), you may not notice big difference using one or another.
    That being said, DisplayPort is aiming the PC market, while HDMI is defining itself as the standard for TVs.

    - PC > Monitor : DisplayPort
    - PC > HDTV : HDMI

    Also, there is nothing like your own experience. You have everything needed to give it a whirl!

    Go HDMI. Usually that the first port on the GPU that gets signaled on first.
