240hz is nice af, refresh rate > resolution imo

It depends on your computer. Assuming you can run both I'd do 4k 144hz. If you play games like cs:go and overwatch competitively I'd opt in for 240hz. If I had the choice I'd go for 4k 144hz. My computer will be able to run most if it, the refresh rate is enough for me, and the extra resolution is nice.

1440p @ 144z is the sweet spot, you can likely also find some monitors that overclock out of the box to 165Hz (like mine). There is a visible difference between 1080p and 1440p, and the GPU power required to push 240fps on most modern titles is likely something you're also lacking.

It depends on your computer specs, but if you had good specs I would say a good spot would be 1440p at 144hz. You get that high refresh rate and bigger resolution.

1440p 144hz is great if youre just trying to play video games. If youre a competitive cs player go or super sweaty boi go for 240hz

1440p 144hz is just an obvious choice to me.
