I think I see a difference in 4k. Personal prefrence I guess. I’m sure it will be used to view things other than games.

My eyes definitely aren't the best. :)  I just realized I didn't explicitly state my point.  4k at 60ish Hz isn't as good for me as 1080 at 120ish.

Not super sure how a 4060 relates to my 3070Ti, but I expect they'd be roughly equivalent for 1080, so it should be over 100 Hz depending on the game.

I was reading that 4k makes it hard to see dots as the pixels are super tiny. Im at 1440p and 230fps. I tried 1080 and dots are even more pronounced

I'm using a Dell 34" oled 1440p 165Hz monitor. Beautiful picture, black blacks, good contrast, but lately I've been running AH at 1080p hoping to improve my view of objects at medium to long distances. Not sure, but it does seem to help.

The best view for me personally of objects at medium to long distances, excluding VR, was with a 42" 1080p 60 Hz, TV. Of course the picture quality was no where near that of the oled, but I could spot dots in the distance pretty much before anyone else in the squad.

I agree with Wiley about higher refresh rates making for a better gaming experience.

Your 4060 should be able to handle AH in 1440p at high refresh rates. If all you play is AH then you might seriously consider something in 1080p with crazy fast refresh rates.

That would be bad for gaming,  you'd get tearing in motion.

to add to this, you want a high refresh monitor ideally with vsync or gsync. I had a curved samsung before and while the screen quality was good, the refresh rate and response times were so low, i got a lot of bad ghosting and tearing. buy quality!
