Need monitor with multi resolution + refresh rate!

Hey, I'm looking for a monitor that is able to do 60hz at 4K, but can also do 1440p at around 120hz.
Do monitors work like that? Can you buy some like this? Curious because I have a BenQ XL2420TE that does 1080p at 144hz and I've adjusted myself to 144hz goodness but also want to upgrade the monitor so I can do 4K on some games where all I can get is 60 fps, but then drive games down to 1440p when I'd like to take advantage of very high frame rate at 120 - 144hz.

Any pointers? Much appreciated! Thanks :D
 
Solution
No, there is nothing like that. The internals of the monitor will only do up to 60 Hz on a 4k monitor, going higher will overclock the internals, to the point it will break, because you're telling it to go faster than what it's able to handle.



All the best!

I think you misunderstood it just a bit. I'm looking for a monitor that does 4K at 60hz, but if I go to 1440p, the refresh rate changes to 120hz or 144hz. Anything like that? Otherwise, I'll probably just get a 1440p screen and use super resolution

Thanks! I'll just look into getting a 1440p 144hz. Cheers :D
