Dell cuts cost anywhere they can. Their power cable, keyboard, and mouse have the tiniest gauge wire I have ever seen and this is a $2500 system. Do not buy Dell.
Slightly off topic but I can’t wait until there’s a 120 Hz 8K monitor. It’s the only thing holding me back from upgrading from 4K. I wonder if the current limitation is on the panels, cable bandwidth or absurd price tag…
What is your actual use case apart from technology fetishism?
8K is the point in which at the monitor size I use, individual pixels would be too hard to see. They're already a bit hard to see at 4K, but at 8K it'd be perfect.

8k@120Hz is going to need one heck of a video card
I think there are three groups of people with opinions regarding 120Hz vs 60Hz refresh rate. Group 1 can tell the difference between the two and strongly prefers 120Hz. Group 2 can't tell the difference between the two and prefers the more affordable options. Group 3 has not done a lot of comparisons between the two refresh rates, or has used 120Hz displays that were actually in 60Hz mode, or compared lower resolutio…
Its always so much nicer when I leave the Air. Everything is so much smoother.
It was $300, the color isn't perfect, it has a little glare, it can be choosy when it comes to ports and cables, but having such a large desktop is great. It's a large enough screen to run at native resolution.
I'm interested in things like Apples 6K monitor but the cost and the fact that it's only really work with my Mac, as well as not giving me that much usable space, make it an easy decision to not buy.

In most browsers it will go up to whatever refresh rate your monitor runs at, including 144 or 165 hz, probably 240 but I've never owned one of those.
I have a hard time believing that anyone with functional eyesight wouldn't be able to see the difference between 60 and 120, but I can definitely see not caring enough to spend the money just to make scrolling and cursor movement smoother.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Once you try a high refresh rate monitor, even for work, you just don't want to go back. Every movement and animation is buttery smooth. Try setting your refresh rate to 30hz for an hour.
People say this, but I’ve had people fail double blind tests for 120hz vs 90hz vs 60hz. I’ve yet to find anyone that can reliably tell 144hz vs 120hz. What people mostly notice is latency not refresh rate.
The technical aspects of this review are interesting, especially the wide range of machines tested. I finished writing a review of my own[0] a few days ago, which is less technical but goes into some other aspects of the monitor.

Realize >60Hz makes exactly zero difference for video playback, so the only areas for improvement are cursor movement and scrolling smoothness.
