If you want better colours, go IPS, as a rule of thumb. Like a Acer Predator XB271HU.

And I agree, TN gaming panels are pretty poor

Unfortunately there are no 1080p 144hz IPS monitors, so this VA monitor is the next best thing:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Samsung C24FG73 24" 1920x1080 VA FREESYNC 144Hz Gaming Quantum DOT Widescreen Curved Monitor= £269.99

Total: £281.09 (includes shipping: £11.10)

Compared to a TN gaming monitor, like your Benq, this has much better colour accuracy and contrast ratios. Comes with a strobing backlight.

A highly detailed, positive review: https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/samsung-c24fg70/ (it's the same panel, different stand)

Does it have to be brand new?

Something like this will fit your needs - i'm not sure if OC still stock them.

Excellent condition used can be found from about £225 on the world famous auction site.

IMo 24" 1080p is too low in vertical height. Going from 24" 16:10 to 24" 16:9 was a big downgrade. It did feel a bit more pixelly too, even in games (slight drop in PPI)

No worries.

If you're every down in Brum, feel free to come and have a look - i've got one and i'm only considering upgrading as I want to move to 1440p. Been really pleased with mine.
