This model comes with HDMI, Display port and MHL. I originally hooked this up with the HDMI cable and the text/font looked horrible as well as had scaling problems. After fiddling with the monitors/CCC settings to not much avail I decided to connect via the Display port cable and what a difference it made, it looks amazing.
I always thought HDMI was the better of the connections?

I would expect any modern monitor and PC (via VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP) to PnP their way into picking the optimal resolution, but it's not guaranteed. What resolution was it running at? Also, which OS?

Actually it's not so PnP with AMD cards using HDMI...You must manually setup overscan in CCC, otherwise majority of displays have black borders by default (underscanning)... http://superuser.com/a/458351/31760

The HDMI connection on your video card can't drive that monitor at native resolution. The new HDMI 2.0 could, but that monitor probably doesn't have HDMI 2.0 (not does your card).

So, in this case, both displayport and dual-link dvi are superior connections.

And even when HDMI can drive the monitor at full res, it's not superior to anything else that can drive a monitor at full res.

DP gives you 4K@60Hz. It's the only output on your card that does. Don't even think about it, just use DP.
