Should I buy a 240hz monitor? (kbin.social)

I'm on the market for a new monitor. Mine is a very old Asus that is a 1080p/60hz monitor.

A few days ago I used to be the occasional competitive player (just playing with friends) and while I might play a competitive game or two again, I'm wondering if I should buy the BenQ Zowie 2546K. Where I'm looking (local market), it's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

But my hesitation lies on the fact that I might have more use for a 4k/140hz monitor.

I guess I'm mostly looking for personal recommendations.

Two things this will depend on - what are your system specs, and what games do you play.

The thing is my PC has really old specs. But I saw the monitor heavily discounted so I thought I'd snatch it even if I can't really use it properly for a few months.

If it’s in budget and you plan on upgrading then it’s not a bad idea! Personally I’d follow this priority for a monitor:

120Hz+
GSync support
Resolution
Panel type
HDR

Figure out what’s important to you and try and find something that ticks as many of your boxes as possible 🙂
