That would be relative to what you want

 

Though, I don't see why you would get another high refresh rate display unless you're going for a surround gaming type of setup

so i currently have a predator xb271hu that runs in qhd at 165fps and im looking for a second monitor. since this is already a really good monitor, should i be looking for a 1080p that runs at 240 fps, or a 4k that only pushes 60fps?

A 4k for sure. 240hz 1080p would look super smooth in windows but there is really no point since you're gaming on your predator already.

I’ve never used one. This is my current setup though on a non L shaped desk and it’s similar in width to an ultra wide + regular display.
