Kind of overkill for the games you want to play on it. Also 800$ for a monitor, that thing better prints money as well.

I get that but 240 Hz is more of a gimmick. What you want to test for and check is input latency. If that monitor has bad input latency it could be slower than a 75 Hz panel that has excellent input latency for example. 

Also that monitor is only a Dell with fancier branding and DELL does not make screens either. It's probably a LG or Samsung panel. But if you really want it, go for it. But keep in mind that it is DELL and their warranty department has gotten so much worse over the years, you now have to wait 3 to 5 business days on a response by text message if you have an issue or want to file a RMA report.

It has a 1ms response time. Is that what I'm looking for?

[Applefreak]

Response time is important but what makes a big difference for games is input lag. Head over to TFTcentral.co.uk and read some reviews. They explain it in more detail. Unfortunately they have no review on that monitor but I have found one on another site that measured the actual response time between 15 and 32 ms (compared to the 1 ms marketing number, which usually only measures gtg or grey to grey transitions, which are faster than colors).

I just watched a video on it and they did a test. While in super fast mode there is a 1ms response time. Where did you see that review?

Techspot

 

Looks pretty good there in terms of performance. I still think it is overpriced.

For some reason the monitor is about 20 percent cheaper in Europe.

Any recommendations on the best 1440p at 240hz monitor?

I haven't really looked into that yet. There are only a few screens that meat that criteria at the moment. You have the DELL, HP Omen, Samsung G7 and AOC. Honestly I would stick to 144 Hz unless you play professional e-sports titles for money.
