Monitor compatibility

Hello, i was considering buying a Acer AOPEN 27HC5R Zbmiipx 27" 240hz for my laptop that has a GTX 1650 and one HDMI 2.0 port (I am buying 240hz instead of 144hz for futureproofing reasons) although i have heard HDMI 2.0 Cannot outuput 1080p 240hz, will i be able to use the monitors full 240hz potential or will i be better off with the Samsung S27AG302 27" 144hz or will i just be locked to 60hz?

From what I can find on this monitor online, the HDMI port on the monitor is HDMI 1.4. You're limited by the lesser port between the video card and the monitor. HDMI 1.4 can do up to 144 at 1080P, but this can be further limited by the manufacturer. It should be able to run up to 4 monitors at the supported specifications. How well it'll run whatever you're doing is another matter. If we're doing triple display setup for iRacing, that might be rough on a GTX 1650.

I'm going to point you towards this monitor: https://www.microcenter.com/product/614584/asus-vg27vq-27-full-hd-(1920-x-1080)-165hz-curved-screen-gaming-monitor

It clearly states in the specifications it is HDMI 2.0 and that it supports up to 165Hz via HDMI.
