You can't get high frame rates in 4K even with something like a 3090 driving it. This card can barely get 60-75FPS in most AAA games, forget about 120+. High frame rate 4K gaming is still kinda not a thing and probably won't be for another generation of cards. It's nice to know 4K is becoming more available in monitors, but 1440p (2K) will be the sweet spot for a while to come.
Does the stand clamp to desk or sit flat?? I cannot move my desk so I cannot use a clamp one it has to be a stand that sits flat on the table pls let me know thanks
I have a feeling that sub-4K displays at 144Hz will be popular for a while until we get more GPU's readily available.

Clamp. It's a very good ergo arm I think.

Would folks go with this over the Gigabyte M27Q for mixed use? (I.e. Normal office work and gaming). At a real quick glance, M27q seems to have better contrast and brightness and color calibration out of the box (all of which are appealing to me), main benefit of the LG is ergonomics?

I have it clamped on my desk but there was an option to drill through the desk

I opted for the LG through this deal (thanks OP!) over the Gigabyte. The Rtings review mentioned some minor issues with blurry text which was enough for me to decide I didn't want to deal with it.

I have the LG 27GL83A-B.
This has almost an identical panel and I might pick one up.
The biggest difference between these two is the Sub-Pixel layout.
LG uses RGB
G7 uses BGR
This allows the LG to get a little more accurate color Post-Calibration
Also, the sub-pixel layout on the G7 can cause some issues for people and text clarity, others don't care.

I could be wrong, but doesn't Cold War get 4K 120hz on ps5 on a monitor with hdmi 2.1? There are many articles that support this. But it isn't something I have tested.

120hz at 4K is what HDMI 2.1/PS5 supports. Hz is the refresh rate capability of your monitor/TV. You need a powerful graphics card to drive enough frames per second to fill the full Hz potential of your monitor. Think of it like a glass of water. The monitor Hz is the glass and you need a large enough pitcher of water (graphics card) that can fill that glass with FPS.
In reality, PS5 only has 8 or 9 games that can fulfill that 4K/120fps potential. Warzone is one of them, but it uses dynamic 4K, so it drops the resolution down when the FPS begins to dip to achieve stable frame rates. This is why the marketing behind 4K/120Hz is misleading. They purposely don't explain to buyers that they will almost never reach the 4K/120fps potential in 99% of the games they purchase, so the HDMI 2.1 feature is kind of moot. I still think modern consoles are a good value though, especially if you've seen what's going on in the graphics card market.
