There is a contradiction in the description: HDMI port being 2.1, but somehow limited to 4K @ 60 Hz.

This is a contradiction because HDMI 2.1 supports 4K @ 120 Hz. The problem is, which part is incorrect?

I'm assuming it's *NOT* HDMI 2.1, and instead it's something lower. Can anyone verify what is the rating of the HDMI port on this thing?

This is critical because I need to know if my 4K @ 120 Hz TV will be bottlenecked by this laptop's HDMI port (60 Hz?) and prevent me from seeing 120 Hz.

* Games like Valorant run at 120 Hz because they are made light for FPS competitive gaming, and not overloaded with graphics that would otherwise heavily constrain oder GPUs or CPUs.

According to the official spec sheet of this model, it's 4K @ 60Hz: https://ca.msi.com/Laptop/Katana-...cification

Seems like a good deal but I looked up the review on notebookreviews and it said this thing runs extremely hot. Has a 2 year All-State warranty though so should be fine?

You would think a laptop with a throttled gpu would be cool

I bought this with a 3060 a few years back. It makes a reasonable desktop replacement but really isn't practical to use as a laptop. The chassis is made of the cheapest plastic I've seen on a computer and my hinges snapped after 6 months despite it barely having been moved or even opened and closed. This is apparently a very common problem and one of the reasons katanas are always on sale. Okay for the right use case but make sure you know what you are getting.

Well if it doesn't support it, you could always just play a better game 🤣
