Might as well spend some money on something that I look at for almost 10 hours a day and can easily last a decade, better than paying twice the amount on a new phone each year that becomes obsolete two years into the future just for some silly incremental updates. OP asked for opinions, I gave him my opinion. In the end it's up to him to decide whether it's worth it or not.
Thing is, he can get a 144 now and it'll be obsolete within 4 years (before his warranty even expires if it's new) and he would've spent money for something he ultimately doesn't even need. I bought the 60hz monitor I'm on now 5 years ago and I'm about to replace it in a few days - did I specifically NEED a 144? No, of course I didn't. Even now good 144hz monitors are overpriced as fuck compared to your standard 60 or 120 ones, and my point is that I'd rather buy a top of the line 60hz one than a shitty, cheap 144hz that's going to self destruct within 2 years.
I know that futureproofing is a serious problem nowadays and that you should ALWAYS get the thing that's going to be viable the most, but in this case, OP neither needs the 144hz for gaming nor work, so I don't think he should buy one until he can reliably make enough money to buy one within a month. Currently, the poor bugger would need to work for a good half a year to afford one of the better 144hz out there, for what, Osu? Having a bit of a smoother cursor? Those kind of reasons are why we have people like our Russian friend here. Buying shit we don't need, just because we have the capability for it.
Remember mate, you might have a perfectly good reason to own a good piece of technology, but if OP's entire reasoning is to play Osu, then no, he does not.
