iPad Pro have 120Hz display and it handles scrolling much better than 60Hz. High refresh rate is really useful even for non-gaming usage. We get used to 100Hz all the way back to CRT time and sacrificed that for LCD panel in 2000s. It time to get it back.
120 Hz is very beneficial for any screen that you watch TV or movies on, because it allows most common video framerates to be cleanly multiplied to match without any judder from 3:2 pulldown or other trickery.
With a 60 Hz display you can usually run it in a 48 Hz mode (and can often also overclock to 72 Hz) to get smooth playback of 24 FPS content, but mode switches are annoying (especially if you have a few hops in your HDMI chain that all have to re-sync).
Variable refresh rate also solves the same problem and is technically better, but is a lot rarer than 120Hz.
I work and game on the same monitor with a KVM between the two computers so things like this are for people like me. My Dell UltraSharp U2715H has been a great 2k monitor that is only 60Hz but does have very low input lag and the color presentation is pretty decent much better than any TN panel.
I see the auto play video is back and sneaking around not only my adblocker but Firefox's explicit deny for automatic playback. I don't know how you're doing that yet, but if I can't defeat it, then I'll be getting off this ride at the next station.
It has two DisplayPort ports you can use if you want full functionality. If using only a single connector is more important than having things work like they're supposed to, you can do video over USB-C.
Really expensive and little to show for it. I read today about an AOC monitor that's more exciting than this (DisplayHDR 600 and stuff - at least on paper).
Wait, how are they doing 4K 60Hz over DP 1.2 AND USB 3.0 over a single USB-C connector?
4K 60Hz in RGB mode requires all 4 high-speed data lanes in an USB-C cable, no room left for USB 3.0. So you would only get USB 2.0 speeds and the Ethernet adapter probably won’t be gigabit (since I assume it is an USB Ethernet adapter). The webcam will most likely also only work in low-res.
I assume if you want the full capabilities you use one of the actual DisplayPorts alongside USB instead of trying to force everything through the USB port.
Looks like a good option, and I like that usb-c doc. That little camera isn't my favorite, but it is definitely nice to have one built in to the desktop screen. Good image quality for the price too. <a href="https://newyorkessays.com/examples/man/">h...

60Hz should be banned in 2019. Geez!WinterCharm - Monday, April 8, 2019 - link
Not everything caters to gamers or gaming.Some of us care more about accurate color, which no shitty 240Hz TN or VA panel can handle.

You think it's only beneficial for gaming to have a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz?FreckledTrout - Tuesday, April 9, 2019 - link
Yes, mostly.mikeztm - Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - link

60Hz is for grown ups. Only gamers need higher.wolrah - Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - link

Now 144 Hz or beyond, that's just for gamers.

This idiotic trend has caught on with other "tech" websites as well unfortunately. Even PCPer is serving autoplay crap these days.jhoff80 - Monday, April 8, 2019 - link
"Furthermore, the monitor has a GbE port that is required by many enterprises.""USB Hub 4-port USB 3.0 hub (one supports fast charging)"
...Unless you actually use this 4k60 screen as a 4k60 display, of course.

Gaming monitors: 4k HDR 100% color gamut reproduction factory calibrated multi port 144hz 600nit+ for only $1200 or less!Non gaming monitors: 4k no hdr 300 nits maybe ports not calibrated low color gamut reproduction 60 nits for only $1200 or less!
I don't get the monitor market.

where are monitors wit mini LED backlights ? Or with refresh faster than 60 Hz ? DP 1.4 is quite popular now, and most matrices can be OC-ed to 80 HzBerylliumBarry - Friday, March 6, 2020 - link
