Generally yes, I had an even higher res 5K 27" display until this year and it was noticeably sharper than a 27" 1440p monitor. But if you...

It still has a 3.5mm output (in a more inconvenient place), but no USB hub like on the DGF. Same port selection, but it's HDMI 1.4 vs 2.0...

Probably it works, but you'd get black bars and only a 2560x1440 display. The Switch is like that with 1080p ultrawides.

Guessing the $414 USD price with coupons excludes GST so the Oneplus 8T would be closer to $650 with GST when you checkout?
