Oh one thing I forgot
>If you have the option, make sure it has both full capability, latest standard, DisplayPort and HDMI
The one thing that's annoying about my C2 is that it ONLY has HDMI. Granted its HDMI 2.1a i think which at the time was the latest standard, but I wish it would have had a DisplayPort that was comparable for its time.
This is mostly because of something niche that pisses me off, basically the HDMI Consortium threw a big hissy fit about not wanting to allow the full 2.1+ performance in Free/Open Source software (like having an AMD GPU on Linux), so if you do it will fall back to 2.0 which means either dropping resolution, refresh rate frequency, or color space (chroma 4:4:4 is what it SHOULD be, but it will drop back to 4:2:0 which is pretty shitty especially for using as a PC monitor etc) . This is not for any technical reason, just a bitch fit about drivers etc. If you're using proprietary drivers then there's no issue, but especially for AMD users they can actually suck more on Linux than the fully free versions depending. Nvidia of course still has proprietary drivers even on Linux s de-facto required given that the FOSS ones aren't anywhere near parity because Nvidia being Nvidia. Now, there ARE ways around this shit with FOSS drivers on HDMI, but its basically a hack that cannot be officially supported or by default because otherwise the HDMI tards would claim Linux or AMD/Nvidia or whomever was in breach of their agreement to use the trademark blah blah blah.
Note none of this is a problem is on DisplayPort however, basically being an open license standard so if you have a DisplayPort option on your monitor even on Linux with FOSS GPU drivers you can run full performance with no fucking around.
