VRR/HDR monitors with multiple hdmi inputs

Do they exist?

In the age of HDR I find myself wanting to switch monitor, but the variety of inputs is important to me, the PC market has almost put all its eggs into the DP basket, but I also use my screens for consoles and other devices as well, most of which now days use HDMI.

See here, for what I found not long after making this thread. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/posts/34252731

However I have a 2 month wait so can change my mind, if people reply with options here I might prefer.

There is currently a gap between the smaller 4k PC monitors (24-27”) and the smallest 4k TV ‘s (48”) which support HDMI 2.1, VRR, HDR and 120Hz+ refresh.
I’ve just bought an LG 49” TV for console and PC use because there is nothing in the 32-42 inch size

I think for 4k 27” is too small and for desktop PC use 49” is too big but if you’re buying now those are the only options.

In early 2021 there are 4k 32” monitors coming with the above features, but they could be costly.

Thats why I am buying 1440p. I thought about 4k, but I dont think its the time for me to go all in on it.

1440p seems to be however on its way out, I wouldnt be surprised if in a few years its largely replaced by 4k, but by then I can replace the display again.

I want VRR, but I feel no desire for high refresh, however I understand the two more or less go hand in hand. I think I will likely have the display in 120hz mode but with all games capped at 60.
