I am looking for a gaming monitor to use with my XBOX Series X and it would be awesome if I could also use it with my two year old DELL G7 7500 laptop which has:
CPU: Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz (12 CPUs Threads)
RAM: 32GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060.

I know the Dell ain't going to push 4k 144hz but I am just wanting to make sure If I get a monitor that will use all the XBOX Series X features, will it still work for my laptop at 1080p HD 144hz? The laptop screen is 144hz.

I would love to have a bigger screen as I am getting older and I game a bit on the laptop but nothing crazy like COD or Tarkov, just stuff like Battletech, project zomboid, and RTS stuff like WARNO. Maybe a slight bit of Ready or Not or War of Rights. But I am not trying to play on max settings. 60fps and above is fine with me for those.

I have been out of the PC build, parts loop for too long and I have no idea if you get a powerful monitor that maybe my graphics card won't even work with it. Or can I change resolution and settings?
So I am wondering if I get a sub $300 monitor that supports 1440, or 4k, freesync, at least 144 or 165mhz will it be ok to use with this laptop too?
I have a mini display port and HDMI on my G7.

What do you y'all think?

You can change them.

Though, do note that when you get 4K 60Hz monitor, it will not do 1440p/1080p at 144Hz. It still will be at 60Hz.

So, when you want the convenience of high refresh rate, you should look towards 4K 144Hz monitor. But none of them are ~300 bucks. Cheapest, while decent, would be ~490 bucks.

Your budget should allow you to pick decent 1440p 144Hz monitor though.

There are filters on the left side that you can define. For time being, i applied: up to 303 bucks, 32" or up, 1440p, 144 Hz or up, has HDMI, has Freesync.
There are more choices if you filter it 27" or up. Or when you increase the price limit.
