How do I even choose.....?

Hello again everyone. 

First time builder here and I have been planning for some time. I have updated some specs, by the kind help of the very helpful and knowledgeable members of this very forum (and PCPP and Corsair Forums). 

 

To keep stuff short, I have a R7 3700x and 5700XT build...

I am a medical student. My tasks are gaming (lots and mostly FPS / competitive games like CSGo, PUBG, Apex, Arma 3, DOOM etc etc, but I also do have my favorite AAA titles like God of War and Control etc, so yes a multiple genre person), watching movies and anime and browsing and normal usage, doing college tasks like making documents and etc etc, and editing videos for YouTube. 

I recently bought the MSI GF63 Thin 9RCX notebook. It has a 15.6in display that is labelled as IPS-Like Display. 

 

My question is:

What sort of monitor do I even get? Would a good TN panel be good for me, given I have no prior experience to good displays except my smart TV, my phones and iPhones, and that laptop? OR should I really be going after IPS?

 

Many people SAY 27in 1440p 144Hz is my sweet spot but I wanted to go 24in 1080p 144Hz because I can't find good 1440p monitors in my country at a reasonably taxed price... And I wanna have max FPS at ultra settings at all times in my games. In that regard, I was looking at the cheaper IPS panels like ASUS TUF VG249Q or the VIEWSONIC XG2405.... 

But then I saw some nicely priced 24in 240Hz 1080p monitors as well.... They are around $100 - $150 above the ones I listed before, but they are quite widely recognized I think? These would be the ASUS XG248Q and Zowie XL2546. 

 

I WAS also looking at the ASUS PG248Q if could squeeze just a bit more budget into the monitor. 

 

Can you guys gimme some info on these? Are these TN really so bad that coming from the IPS-LIKE display is gonna gimme issues?
