    I plan to hook up an old notebook to it occasionally for web browsing and doing my light room work.

    But I also intend to hook up a Xbox one X to it.

    And possibly a smartphone.

    So I need at least 100% sRGB, reasonable response time for gaming.

    Size isnt a huge concern either way.

    Not sure if I put this in the best forum as there isnt a dedicated monitor forum.

    An 'old notebook' for gaming and LR work with an up to 4K monitor isn't the best match for a good experience.

    What are your notebook's spec's?

    BenQ GW2765HT. I have a similar 2K from them (that I think has been superseded with a newer model) and it looks great. The 4K should look even better.
