For people using OLD GPU with DP1.4->HDMI 2.1 adapter, if you want to get 4K 120hz 4:4:4 RGB 8Bit
You need to use CRU, delete the native 4K120hz timing, Edit the Display ID 1.3 block for 4K120hz and select NATIVE PC timings. This will lower the Bandwidth requirement for 4:4:4 to 1066 MHZ instead of 1188-1200mhz, which exceed DP 1.4 payload bandwidth in most cases.
Without edit, it will only allow 4K120 4:2:2 limited.
I have ordered a DP to USB C adapter, I will report back once I receive it tomorrow.

My post is for people using old GPU without HDMI 2.1
These GPUS usually has DP1.4 and HDMI 2.0, H2.0 doesn't have nearly the bandwidth to drive 4K120.
So on these GPUs you're looking to use the DP 1.4 port, which has 25Gbps of bandwidth.
This is only enough 4K 120Hz 4:4:4 8bit FULL RGB, but not in a standard mode, because 1188mhz is above 25Gbps. So you have to get it down to 1066mhz.
That's why the EDID needs to be edited. There's no risk, this is completely reversible (though you wouldn't). It's just editing a configuration file the GPU reads.
Without edit, the DP 1.4 can only support 4K120 4:2:2 Limited YCBCR. Limited means 16 to 235 instead of Full 0-255 pixel value.
4:2:2 means you get 4 colors samples per 8 pixels samples instead of 8 color samples, you lose a bit of sharpness in fine texture/fine line detail and slightly fuzzy text rendering
4:2:0 means you get 2 color samples per 8 pixels, text will look very fuzzy, and slightly faded
4:4:4 means you get 8 color samples per 8 pixels. >>Best texture clarity
Old GPU will not be able to do 10bit 4K120 on DP1.4, because that usually requires 35+Gbit, and is above the payload bandwidth of DP1.4. There might be tricks to get it working, but you need a Hacked DP adapter that can payload the whole 35-37Gbit, very non standard.
In practice, as long as your video playback device/renderer/game uses dithering, 8bit is not that different from 10bit.
Good luck!

Good luck!

One usbc one DisplayPort I think via usbc, and one hdmi
Maybe if it dropped again in price I would consider
32 Inch 2560x1440 240hz VA LCDs cost around $350.
I'd rather have 32 inch 3840x2160 120hz QD-OLED, not just any oled, QD, this blows LG RGBW out of the water. Amazing colors, shit you've never seen.
There's a reason for it. It's frankly an amazing soundbar for what it is, and NOTHING $350 has it.

Replacing an over 10yo 4k display from Fry's Electronics (RIP).
Good luck!
