Question about 1440p and HDMI cables

1) Looking to do a monitor upgrade. Been looking around. Figured out I want a second 21:9 panel but bigger. Currently I have a 21:9 and a 16:9 (actually have 2 only use 1). Was looking to upgrade not only size but resolution. 4K monitors are too damned expensive. 1440p however are a bit more affordable. Monitor will be used with 3 separate machines. Primarily a MacBook Pro and with a Gaming PC, but also possibly my server. I watch a lot of content on my computer, anything from 480 to 1080p. Most of it is 720p and 1080p content. How bad is it going to look? I read a post somewhere that low res content looks like dog crap on 1440p screens, they even implied it looks worse than on 4K.

2) Part of the monitor upgrade would be giving to two 16:9 monitors to my niece and nephew for them to use with their Chromebooks. Any one know of some durable HDMI cords that can handle being unplugged and plugged in a bunch of times?

My monitors:

https://www.newegg.com/acer-h236hl-bid-23-full-hd/p/N82E16824009483?Item=N82E16824009483 have two of these but only use one

Was looking at this monitor here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08623SZH9?ref_=pfb_enhi9mlm5kmige4j97le8k3h09c3&tag=fbcmapdsc-20&ascsubtag=pfb-P11-V01-O3-pu3y4n-AIXQ0O&fbclid=IwAR0x2IYn0vdvxJoO9hma2gM7UQUrf7qsb5wQt921_Ve8vD02GxQMY3flx6M&th=1 Doesnt fit my desk
