Should I buy a 240hz monitor? (kbin.social)

I'm on the market for a new monitor. Mine is a very old Asus that is a 1080p/60hz monitor.

A few days ago I used to be the occasional competitive player (just playing with friends) and while I might play a competitive game or two again, I'm wondering if I should buy the BenQ Zowie 2546K. Where I'm looking (local market), it's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

But my hesitation lies on the fact that I might have more use for a 4k/140hz monitor.

I guess I'm mostly looking for personal recommendations.

I think this is a very personal decision. But if I were picking I would go with the 140Hz because that is a lot of frames already, and I'm very particular about having lots of pixels so that I can get crisp font rendering for code. In fact that is the exact choice I made for my monitor-before-last. But I haven't tried anything over 140Hz so I can't speak to the difference another 100Hz would make.
