Well for starters you'll be limited to only 60 FPS max on that monitor. Any FPS above that is not being displayed.

Why would you not want to use the 144hz one for a game like fortnite?

Well then you would want to stick to the built in display then.

there will be less latency/input delay on the 144hz one because of how it works. with a 60hz display a input will have not be seen on screen for 1/60th of a second. For 144hz, its 1/144th of a second
