Which monitor connector should I use? HDMI (not 2.1) or DisplayPort?

Just bought an ASUS ROG computer. G15DK

Here are the important specs;

Computer: 
 
Processor
, AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700G Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 20MB cache, up to 4.6 GHz max boost)
Graphics
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 8GB GDDR6 : 3x DP, 1x HDMI
 
Monitor:  ThinkVision P24h-10  Model: 61AEGAR3WW  2560x1440
 
I am not a gamer.  I would only use the computer for streaming Netflix and other sties.  If I disable in Windows the discrete GPU card  would that reduce fan noise?
 
If I did not disable the GPU, would I notice a difference in picture quality if I plug the HDMI (not 2.1) cable into the motherboard versus plugging the DP into the GPU?  No gaming.
 
 If I disable the card and use DisplayPort  into the GPU would I still be able to see my monitor?
 
I would rather not waste money on a DP cable if there won't be a difference in picture quality for what I am using the computer for.
