Hi Jaypin,

First check to see if your display port cable is 1.4 or 1.2. If it’s 1.2 than an HDMI 2.0 cable is a better fit. If you got a 1.4 display port cable than you are correct it is better,

If you have visuals when plugging in your display port cable and unplugging your HDMI than your monitor automatically detected the change in cables and switched the format for you and you would not need to do anything else.

Hope this helps
