I am eliciting feedback on: What features would your perfect 2017-2020 monitor have, and why?

To get the ball rolling, I'll start:

Specs of my perfect 2017-2020 monitor are as follows :


  • ■ 144 Hz refresh rate (For silky smooth motion)
    ■ < 2 ms response time
    ■ 4k Resolution (I don't want 8k because Windows 10, and it's apps are not optimized for that high of resolution yet, and probably won't be for a while. Plus, it's too far from the all too common, and affordable, 1080p)
    ■ HDR (High Dynamic Range)
    ■ IPS (In-Plane Switching) Panel (for color accuracy)
    ■ >= 350 cd/m2
    ■ 80,000,000:1 or better dynamic contrast ratio
    ■ 3D capable/ready
    ■ NVIDIA G-Sync Ready, AMD FreeSync Capable (See This)
    ■ Inputs: 1 x DVI, 1 x DP, 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x USB 3.1 (Type-C), 1 x VGA, 1 x 3.5 mm headphone/speaker jack.
    ■ Manufactured by ASUS, Samsung, or LG (I won't buy a non-name-brand display)
    ■ <= 24" size (For high pixel density [DPI] for a sharper image, and also so it will fit on limited desk spaces)

Let me know below what your perfect monitor specs would be...
 
25.2" 2560 × 1600 @ 120 Hz
OLED panel assuming a solution to burn-in problems is found; otherwise VA panel with a wide-gamut backlight (i.e. quantum dot).
2x Mini DP 1.4 with DSC and daisy-chaining
2x HDMI 2.0
1x Thunderbolt 3 gen 2 with 100 W power delivery

FreeSync support over DP and HDMI.
