I have a MBP 2017 15inch and I don't know which monitor to get. I want it to be higher than 60hz and be 24inchs wide.

Here are some specific questions:

- Which do you recommend?

- Do I need to buy a dongle/adapter? If so, which one?

- Is 60hz and higher supported for MBP?

Thanks!

PS: As cheap as possible please hehe

Is it possible?

Warning about gaming with a Macbook Pro Touch Bar onto an external monitor: the GPU heavily throttles itself for some reason. You can refer to my post in the Troubleshooting section for details about this, but I lose close to half the fps on various games when I'm playing on the monitor vs when I'm playing on the built in laptop display.
