And what exactly are you going to use your 4k 120hz screen for? It's not like there's a great need for it, when most people use their computers to stream 720p@30hz videos or worse, or don't have graphics devices capable of rendering games or even a desktop at 4k@120hz. The industry has been pushing HDR and support for variable refresh rate, and that seems way more useful than 4k@120hz, but it's another thing consumers won't be able to notice unless they try really really hard. Edit: also, does either DP or HDMI support 4k@120hz? I'm still running my 4k monitor at 30hz because my employer doesn't want to buy me a freaking HDMI 2.0 cable!

> And what exactly are you going to use your 4k 120hz screen for? The same thing I am going to use the MacBook Pro's 120hz screen for. I think this banal argument can be made for most of consumer tech including why do I need a Retina display when I am perfectly fine with 1080p, but I believe all of these things add up to improve our daily quality of life since we spend most of our time staring at those pixels. > also, does either DP or HDMI support 4k@120hz? I think HDMI 2.1 supports it.

Any resolution. HDMI 2.1 (January 2017) and Displayport 1.4 (March 2016) support 4K 120Hz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_2.1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_2.1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#1.4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#1.4
