Suggest an external monitor for programming and gaming

I'm looking for an external monitor for both programming and gaming. Currently, I'm using a 1080p monitor, but I'm tired of turning my head between the macbook and the monitor when I have to deal with 3+ windows.

So, I think a 2K monitor would be a nice improvement for my QoL, wouldn't hurt my GPU too much compared to a 4k monitor. Any suggestion or should I scrub the idea?

i have a benq BL2420PT, if you set the brightness/ red shift correctly you won't have any eye strain even after 8h work

Benq has some killer IPS 2k monitors with high refresh rate.

I think you should totally go with IPS 2k

The 4K resolution is excellent for multitasking, allowing you to view code, documentation, and terminals simultaneously. It also features a USB-C hub, making it convenient to connect multiple devices, bandle and an ergonomic stand for comfort during long programming sessions.
