I don't know. Text is important to me, but high refresh rate is much more.

Even scrolling text or dragging windows around at >120 Hz is a game changer. Going back to the MBP display gives me instant headache until I re-adapt. It's hard to describe, it's like all of a sudden everything has a very distracting input lag.

Now I just need to wait for a 4k 144Hz IPS that can be driven via MBP (or just get what's on the market and run eGPU)




At the end of the article, the author mentions the Acer Nitro XV273K, which Macs can drive at 4K@120hz (though you have to jump through a hoop in the Displays prefs on each boot)


4k can be driven by Mac at 120Hz, but the mac has to be new enough (2018+ is my guess, based on thunderbolt 3 upgrade in 2018) and have a discrete graphics card.
