Should I buy a 2k monitor?

Hey! At the moment, the main monitor is BENQ GW2480. It is fullhd, but I have a mac mini for work and macOS works extremely poorly with fullhd (IMHO), and my eyes are tired of seeing pixels, because I'm sitting 1.5 meters from the monitor. I want to change it to QHD Philips 245E1S 23.8.
I also work in Windows, there is a large coffin next to it, which is also connected to the monitor. Question: is it worth changing to the cheapest 2k, which seems to be not inferior in performance to my monitor and is everything okay with qhd at 24 inches?

The frequency (now there are monitors with a frequency below 60 on the market?) and the pixel size are individual, moreover, in articles, for example, they write that a too small pixel is bad - the eyes can get tired (we are talking about the case when there is no scaling). But what is really important is the backlight without flicker (flicker free), it is flickering at low brightness that is what really gets tired of the eyes. Then there are all sorts of artifacts like glow on ips (it interferes a lot on large screens) or backlight unevenness.

Look at the frequency, this is the most important characteristic for the eyes. The rest is trifles

It's not worth it, look in the direction of 4k 27-32". You play 4k live, the rest is solid pixels and the eyes flow out.

I won’t say anything about macOS, but I happily changed the old fhd samsung 22" to dell p2418d

I moved from 2x AOC 22 FullHD to 1 AOC 27P1 2k (at home) and HP 27z at work - with macOS it's quite comfortable on these monitors, my eyes don't get tired.

There are 2k 27 and fhd27 and 4k32 if you choose on the same size then 2k without options if you can pair 2 by 32 and 4k then better 2 by 4k and 32 the experience is radically different when you increase these 5 inches. but there the price for a third of 2k is 20-22k 4k 32 is already at least 35k.
