I'm looking to get a high refresh rate monitor for Rocket League and CS:GO. Is 120 ok or should I go for 240? I'm still on 60. Also, my laptop has an HDMI 2.0 port, does that support 1080p at 120Hz?

My budget is around £200. I've seen that one, could I do better for the price? Also, just be reading the spec sheet, is there a way to tell how black black is?

My laptop specs:

CPU: Intel i5-9300H (stfu about shintel)

GPU: GTX 1650 (I know it's not the best but it can run the above mentioned games at 120fps)

RAM: 8GB.

120 or 144 

240 is a waste of money

You won't be able to drive 240 all the time so go for 120

Do AOC have monitors with USB's and 2 HDMI in ports. That would be useful.

I'm sure they have some models with these requirements
