New monitor: 4K or 1440p for apex ?

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about upgrading my monitor and could use some advice — mainly for Apex Legends.

Right now I'm running an LG UltraGear 1440p 180Hz. I was considering either a 4K 240Hz panel, or staying at 1440p but bumping up to 240Hz.

One thing that confuses me: almost every pro player I watch sticks with 1440p or even 1080p instead of going 4K. Is the lower resolution actually better for competitive play, or is it just habit/hardware limits?

My specs are an RTX 5070 Ti and an i5-14600KF — is that enough to run Apex at max FPS?

Thanks for your help :)
