I would like to connect a 144Hz monitor to this laptop, is that possible and which connection/cable transmits over 60Hz?

According to Lenovo, the new Legion 7s already have HDMI 2.1 and a monitor can also be connected via USB-C DP 1.4:
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool...
Lenovo itself states the following limitations:
"Supports up to 4 independent displays via native display and 3 external monitors; supports external monitors via HDMI® (up to 4096x2160@60Hz) or USB-C (up to 5120x3200@60Hz)".
Why the HDMI port is supposedly throttled to HDMI 2.0 speed is unfortunately not clear to me. Unfortunately, lower resolutions with higher Hz such as 1080p@144Hz or 1440p@120Hz are often not tested, although the signal should be possible purely in terms of bandwidth.
