[SOLVED] Is 2K@240hz worth it?

[Exeonx]

Hi all,

So as many others here I'll be finally upgrading my 980ti to either a 3070 or 3080 (Most likely the 3080, but it depends on price and availability)
Naturally my 24" 1080p@144hz monitor needs an upgrade as well.

Since 4K@144hz is just not realistic even for the 3080 I don't plan to upgrade to 4K this generation.
Instead I was planning to buy a 2K 144hz monitor, the monitor that shows up the most is the LG 27GL850.

However with Samsungs release of the G7 odyssey, we're seeing the first non-TN panel 2K 240hz monitor.
The Acer Predator XB273U GX will be the next monitor to release this year with a 2K resolution and 240hz capability on an IPS panel.

Previous to the Nvidia announcment 240hz on 2K wasn't realistic, now that it is, it bring the question, is it worth it?
I don't mind paying 100$/€ extra on a monitor to jump from 144 to 240hz, but now that I've seen the The Acer Predator XB273U GX is going for an equivalent of 860$ in China, I don't know if I would pay 360$ premium on it, over the LG mentioned before.

If you're a top-tier player on the games you play, you strongly feel that something is holding you back, and you can narrow it down to the monitor, then sure, it might be worth it. Otherwise no, it's not.

A 240hz. monitor will give you a few more frames to line up a more accurate shot but if you don't have the lightning fast reaction skills to go with it, it won't make much difference.
