Should I upgrade after 7 & half year?

[GingaMilla]

So at the moment I have a 'Acer Predator XB252Qbmiprzx 25 1920x1080 TN G-Sync 240Hz Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor' which I bought from OcUK 7 & half years ago.

Is it now worth upgrading? Ideally would like something 1440p and 240ghz+. Oh and I'm using a 4080 super GPU.

Depends on your use & what bothers you imo.

Personally, I'd never use a TN panel screen again (and other than a couple of the older screens I've come across at work, I haven't in >10 years). Short of pro gaming, I just don't see the point over a fast IPS/VA. Additionally, 1920x1080 is a low resolution in my books, especially for a 25" screen. <24" I could accept it, but any more than that, I'd want 2560x1440 minimum.

Like a lot of things, there's never a perfect time to upgrade. Tech is generally getting cheaper, but will continue to do so, or newer, better/cheaper tech will come in. Essentially if you want 1440p (and I think it'd be a big upgrade), then go for it.

Worth upgrading your monitor or downgrading your gpu imo. I'd get a high refresh rate 1440 or 4k screen if I were you.
