Looking to upgrade monitor. 1440p/240hz or 4K/144hz?

I currently have a 32" Samsung CHG70 (1440p/144hz) which I have been using since February 2019. It has the common horizontal lines through the screen issue which has got me thinking about an upgrade.

 

What would be the logical upgrade in specs that I should be considering? 1440p/240hz or 4K/144hz? Or wait until 4K/240hz is a thing and drain my bank account...

 

I have an EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080 Ti and mostly play AAA games on the highest settings since I value graphics slightly more than performance.

 

I am also considering stepping down to a 27"/28" monitor since the 32" is essentially a small TV and doesn't feel like a monitor. Will I regret this since I am so accustomed to the bigger screen?

I'd go 4k 144 but I'd recommend just sticking with your current one.

If you're really into esports and want to squeeze out any potential advantage 240hz might give you I guess go 1440p 240hz. If you're not hardcore about esports I'd say either stick with what you have, 4k 144hz, or try out ultrawide. It's not for everyone, but I've really enjoyed it.

gpus would need to be 3x as fast for 4k/240hz, the 3080ti is barely not enough for 4k/144hz so i recommend just sticking to current display.

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback all

4K 240Hz is still quite a few years away. And current GPUs are not even capable of using this resolution and refresh rate combined. We will need DisplayPort 2.0 on GPUs before we can even think about releasing monitors with these specs. Current I/O like DP 1.4 doesn't even come close to the required bandwidth.
