Hey, I have an i9-9900K and an RTX2080Ti. In every game, I set everything to the highest level. Just used Alt+R to see how fast things run for some of them. Most games are stuck around 60 or 70 frames per second. Sometimes they hit 100Hz but never go higher. So, is it a waste to spend more on a 4K monitor that shows 144Hz instead of just 60? When I do work in Windows 10, I don't notice much of a difference in how smooth things feel compared to the other option.

it doesn't come to waste at all. if you sometimes see better than 60 frames per second, then having the option to display up to 144 hz is actually great for you. i don't care about people pretending they can tell the difference between 100 fps and 500 fps, but i could definitely notice a difference when moving from 60 to 100 fps. if you are happy with what you have right now, then why bother? but if you really feel like you need one little boost, then jump in. just don't get tricked by the marketing hype though. the frame rate number is just a count, and if you're okay with 60, that's all you need. i changed from 60 hz to 144hz screen and thought the main change was just the better picture quality, not really how many times it could show me that image. 144 refreshes per second on a bad image is not worth it at all. lol

I bought three BenQ EX3210U screens but they all have problems. It might make sense to give them back and get cheaper models. More expensive monitors aren't always free from flaws. If I just want to play games in 4K, why buy a big screen when I could get an even bigger TV?

You have rules about getting things back if something goes wrong, which makes sense. I'm not trying to sell you expensive stuff just because it looks good. But before you buy, check a few reviews so you know what to expect. My screen is an AOC 24G1 at $149 on sale. For a cheap monitor, it works way better than the one I was using before.
