Model VG280K ACER Monitor

CALGREG

Thinking about upgrading my monitor to this, and i have a surface book 3. It uses mini display to an adapter to HDMI. I've read some people talking about display adapter needed. Would I have to purchase a mini display to display adapter and also a display cable going into this adapter. Can it just use HDMI or would that give lesser resolution? Is there a benefit to using the display port over HDMI? 

Thank you

In general DP gives a little better performance than HDMI, especially if you have to use an adapter to convert DP to HDMI. If your Surface has a miniDP I'd just use a miniDP to DP cable.
