That feels like a bit of a stretch. There are a handful of options now, but most were released within the past year[1] and have only recently become available for purchase, and most of these are ~$1k or higher[2]. The cheapest one I could find right now is $714, but it's only 1440p (and 480hz - Sony INZONE M10S[3]). If snarfy needed something before then, and/or didn't have a huge budget to devote to a monitor, you can't really blame them.
You can get a perfectly serviceable 4k 160hz monitor with DP 1.4 for ~$300 right now[4], and that makes a lot more sense for most people.
Monitor manufacturers are generally stingy with DP ports, often including more HDMI ports, even when they can't support the full resolution and refresh rate of the monitor. It is frustrating.

You appear to have missed this part of snarfly's post: > A 2025 monitor with DP 1.4 from 2016. Shame. Had snarfly not purchased that monitor within the past year, I would not have said what I said. I would have something that taken into account the state of available monitors at that point in time.
