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.

Personally would go with a higher resolution, especially if you're using it for more than gaming. I recently purchased a 4K/165Hz monitor that I'm enjoying. 1080p is claustrophobic for me when not gaming, but I've been on 1440p for awhile.

May I know which 4k/165hz monitor you got?
