Will this TV work at 100hz as a monitor?

I'm interested in buying the Sony KD-43XF8577 to use as a PC monitor. The spec says it is 100hz but It doesn't say what kind of HDMI it supports. I'm guessing 2.0 . Does that mean I can't use the TV at any more than 60hz when plugged into my PC (1080ti) ?

The fonts will be all messed if you use a TV as monitor, plus you will go blind shortly there after. See that is the thing. nVidia has DSR so you can essentially use any resolution want even 8k. The image is good but the fonts get corrupt big time and its a unusable OS with botched looking fonts.

Imagine if nVidia can fix this somehow so the fonts are nice and clean and thick and show. Then no one needs a 4k monitor,, Just buy a 2k and DSR it to 4k. DSR is only good for gaming.... You can't use it on the desktop and what not.

The thing is I have the xf80 model in my living room and I've connected it to my PC. It works normally when you disable all of the post processing and put it at game mode all be it at 50hz. I'm going to use it as a secondary monitor / TV not as my primary. I already have a 2k g-sync gaming monitor as my main.
