Looking to purchase a Dell 2415Q with a MacBook Pro base model (without touch bar)

1. I’ve read previously that the non touch bar version can be laggy with external monitors, has anyone had any issues, even when running the display at 60Hz?

2. Following on from above, I’m concerned that scaling from the MacBook Pro non touch bar to the Dell P2415Q may have an effect on performance as it’s entirely different resolutions (whereas something like a 5k display it would divide the resolution only by 2)?

3. Does anyone know if the Dell P2415Q can transfer audio through the display port? This would allow me to connect external speakers to the monitor rather than the MacBook Pro, as the headphone jack is on the other side and I’ll only have two USBC ports.
