GAMING MONITOR question - Im NOT noob

Hello.
I have huge PC modding experience, and I am PC gamer since 1998.
But I can not decide, what monitor to change.
I sold mine old monitor IIYAMA ProLite E2473HDS 24".

So, what's next ?
I won't suggest anything, but i need 120 or 144 hz monitor.
My choices so far:
- benQ XL 2411Z
- benQ XL 2430T
- EIZO FORIS 2421.

Last one is wired - 240 hz, but much more input lag, ghosting and some ohter different negative ****.

Money is not problem here.

I am playing copmetitive BF3 and BF4 only.
More games I play? Dont ask ... Dont starve, Insurgency, Payday 2. Thats all.

Movies watching from PC, but @ TV. I don't make graphic or changing photos colours. Im not graphic.
Monitor for only gaming purposes.

Other setup:
- Intel Core i7 2700K 3,50 GHz BOX @ 4,70 GHz
- Asus P8Z77-V PRO
- GeForce GTX 780 EVGA 3GB 2xDVI&HDMI&DP (PCI-E) Superclocked ACX Cooler

Is that any HUUUUGE difference between 120 and 144 hz monitor, if im not using 3D glasses ?

Please help me .

There won't be a big difference between the two, but 144Hz would definitely be better.
Especially for FPS games, like BF3 and BF4.
I've been using the ASUS VG248QE for about a year now and just love it.
Intel i9 10850K@ 5.3GHz
ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E
Corsair H115i Pro XT

OS: WD Black SN850 1TB NVMe M.2
Storage: WD Blue SN550 2TB NVMe M.2
EVGA SuperNova 1200 P2

IT has to have Gsync or Freesync.
Just having 144hz will not madder.

This is because the monitor will be fixed at a certain refreash; if the FPS drops from your GPU some reason it will need to fill those frames with copies of the previous frames; This can lead to it looking like stutter. Gsync lets the GPU set the refresh on the monitor dynamically to remove that stutter;
I play a lot of MWO; and when I have V-sync off my FPS can be as high as 130 and as low as 34; My monitor is fixed at 60 and it look horrible.

The only problem is that you cant get one right now; I have been trying to get the ROG Swift since Oct; Acer has a identical once coming out in Feb; so supply should loosen up by then..
Unless you can live with just HD 1920x1080; Then there are monitors available today; But to get the Qhd, 144hz and gsync, ROG is the only option right now.

im playin at locked 120 fps, but i dont see that effect on this old monitor.

My choices so far:
- benQ XL 2411Z - dont know what is the difference between this one and 2430T,
- benQ XL 2430T - my top choice so far,
- benQ XL2420G - my second choice so far, but with G-sync or without?
- EIZO FORIS 2421 - after googling, i come to conclusion that 240 hz is ghosting and many negative effect to gameplay
- ROG SWIFT PG278Q - OP sh!t, but ... 1920 x 1080 @ 27 inches will suck, so i wont waste my money on SLI solution to play in native resolution.

and I didnt say one more thing - i have limited desk space, like sitting 60 centimeters away from monitor, so 27" will be too big i guess ...

I own benq monitors and really like the performance they offer your choice of the 2430T is the one to get imo. The swift would be my first choice for a 1440p monitor but there still very hard to find.
