HDMI 2 but only mentions PC/Mac

is it compatible as a monitor instead of a 4ktv for the XboxSeriesX?

sorry confused I know my 4k resolution is better but I don't have 144 htz this monitor has not sure what would be better

My tv is plain 4k no Dolby digital no HDR function, would those also be compatable?

Too bad they don't have a policy like Target in place for price drop matching.

Bigger is always better as long as resolution and refresh rate can keep up.

That being said, 1440p resolution and 120fps/hz is kind of a sweet spot for a great gaming experience that's affordable to obtain.

Lower resolutions like 1080p are easier to hit high frame rates, but I'd aim for 1440p

Definitely not. Screen size should depend on how far you sit from the monitor. It'll be perfect for 1440p.

Is this overkill for mostly non gaming? I play Starcraft 1/2 and Runescape occasionally but that's all. I do work in Photoshop and I've had some color discrepancies between my current monitors and what other people see. They're old HP 24" IPS ZR24W.

I am looking to buy 3 monitors but I had hoped to find 3 27" monitors at a price closer to $150.
