Best Monitor for Xbox 1440P 1ms @ 120Hz with FreeSync and VRR support

Hello, I recently bought a Dell monitor. Everything is perfect and I love the monitor. This is a great monitor especially for game consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Bought for Xbox Series X. There are very few monitors, everything works out of the box. This monitor is on Xbox 1440P @ 120Hz with FreeSync and VRR support (1080p PS5). Most other 120Hz monitors will work with FreeSync/VRR disabled. I play Destiny 2 a lot, and in the new X-Series Bungie has enabled 120fps for online multiplayer. As a hardcore gamer, I wanted 120 fps. I decided I wanted 1440p 120hz+ FreeSync and VRR… 1ms response time with IPS display (everything works out of the box, no adjustments) I decided to wait for HDMI 2.1 first when the news came, the prices are crazy 800- $1200. . My budget was $500. 4k is not an option due to cost and lack of HDMI 2.1. So I went with 1440p. Then I found a big problem with the current monitor and console. Many can run 120 fps, but you have FreeSync and/or VRR (LG monitor) disabled. I found several models that worked, but the response time was slower. Then I found that the monitor's response time didn't work the same at 60Hz and 120Hz. Many were poor at 60Hz but excellent at 120Hz (Asus tug monitor). Conclusion: great monitor. The best monitor for consoles especially Xbox Series X. This monitor has great colors, viewing angles, response time and looks clear and clean. The monitor arrived on time and in excellent condition.
