Hello everyone
I am making the jump to a 4K Monitor but I am specifically looking for recommendations for a 4K monitor that I can use with both my PC & a PS4 Pro.
I have looked at quite a few lists of both PC & PS4 Pro 4K monitor recommendations but I haven't seen any that overlap. So I decided to come here and see if anyone here can give me some advice so I can find a 4K monitor that will meet my needs.

As far as preferences go I at least want one with 144Hz refresh rate.

Here is list of my current PC specs :

well for starters, you aren't going to get high framerates at 4K on your PC.
But I assume you know that already and plan to play games at lower resolutions in order to get higher frame rates on the PC and you just want the 4K for the PS4 Pro and for regular every day usage of the PC and for video playback.

(You can play some games at 4K with low settings at playable framerates similar to how you play on PS4 but you aren't getting anything higher than 60fps in the best scenarios, unless you play a really low end game that has basic graphics or is and old game)

But to give you options for what you want, I first need to know what country you live in so I can properly give recommendations for 4K 144hz.

Thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply and yes the 4K is more for the PS4 Pro usage and not for my current PC build I know its lacking that department for now anyway. Also of note I am currently using a display port cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0098HVZBE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
with my current monitor. I am in the United States.
