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.

    If you only play competitive games occasionally, I don’t know if a 240hz monitor would be the best choice for you. Not that the 2546K is a bad monitor, but it sacrifices image quality for low response time and input lag.

    A 1440p or 4k IPS monitor might be better, since image quality would be way higher. Additionally, a 4k one would have a longer life span, since a doubt 8k is going to be a viable thing in the near future.

    But it will mainly depend on which you value (and game) more, response time or image quality.
