Mac studio, able to do 4k 120hz if using thunderbolt port?

So I was disappointed to see that the built in hdmi output can only support 4k 60hz. After using the promotion display on my macbook pro, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a 60hz screen.

My LG CX tv does 120hz from my xbox, is there any way I can use this Mac Studio to get true 120hz output? I hope this makes sense thank you!

Hi, I'm thinking about buying an LG OLED tv (CX or C9) that runs on 4k and 120 hz. I'd also like to hook up a MacOS system, but until now they wouldn't be able to make use of the display's possibilities. Now as the M1 Mac mini has been presented I wonder if it runs 4k at 120 hz smoothly. I...

As far as I know the display stuffs is the same between all the M1's so whatever solution they found there should work on the Studio.
