I got a RTX 4080 laptop is it a good idea to match it with an external 1080p 360hz monitor for higher fps the laptops native resolution 2560x1600p 240hz

[Darksider]

Or should I just build a 1080p 360hz PC

Unless you're playing competitive games, your RTX 4080 mobile will handle 1600p decent.

All I play is competitive games

No unless you opt for oled tech. Going from an ips to oled is noticeable in regards to input lag and motion clarity. I play most of my games - even competitive ones - at 90hz with a 120fps cap on my 55" qd oled - which is capable of 144hz - and notice no difference in regards to input lag - except for motion clarity - compared to the max settings of the TV.

That depends if you have a USB Type-C that supports DP output. HDMI surely won't do it.

If need be why not just run the OS Desktop at a lower res and then run your game at that same lower res to help bump the FPS.

Why can't you just connect it to a dock, and have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. all connected to the dock?

Since when do we have Laptop Docks anymore? I'm sorry is this 2001 where we are using Dell or IBM with proprietary laptop docks? Everything is USB now.

To have the Monitor driven by the NVIDIA GPU, the Laptop must have a Thunderbolt / USB Type-C that supports DP output. Otherwise the Display is purely ran off the Intel GPU and not the NVIDIA.

LOL, do you not know that USB C Docks are a thing?

It does have type c to display port connection I think it's called thunderbolt

But the 4080 is a strong beefy performance GPU it will run games all fine and smooth at the native res + refresh rate.

If you must go with an external display then I'd look at 27 - 32 inch 1440p/240Hz and use DP. You will need an "Active adapter cable" such as this > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4DB8MLL

I would ensure that the external display has DP 1.4 as well as Adaptive Sync / FreeSync Premium or Premium Pro

I'd go w/ the alienware 34" OLED. I run one and my buddy does too and they are fantastic. It's 3440x1440 though so not sure if that is something you don't want since you mention 2560x1440.

Alienware, LG UltraGear, or MSI

Is that Asus OLED 27 240hz one good as well?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well generally speaking, ASUS is often a good brand to choose from as well.
Just Google the exact model and from there look at the full specs, reviews and such.
