So I have bought myself a new 4k 144hz monitor which also supports gsync etc. So I have been thinking what would be the best way to enjoy this display. It has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and 1 DP 1.4. DP 1.4 supports 4k 144hz but it does so with DSC (display stream compression) which I have heard is lossless but not sure. On the other hand HDMI 2.1 supports upto 4k 120 hz but there's no compression of any sort involved. Hence what port should I use to get the best image quality possible from this monitor.

If you want to take advantage of faster refresh and lower input lag at 144hz in fast paced games, might be better to go DP+DSC. Slight loss in image quality would not even be noticeable.
For color accuracy in production work etc., obviously use uncompressed. For that, 144hz may not be required and hence can use whatever uncompressed DP1.4 offers
