It depends. As you already know, ASUS vg248qe is mostly for gaming as the 144 HZ won't mean much in a moving playing at 30. Also, you will need enough cpu and gpu power to produce 144hz and not too many configurations can. I recommend the ASUS ve278q as it will have better color accuracy and more size.
If it helps I do have a gtx 780 ti and an i5 4690k. I know the refresh rate won't matter for the movie I just don't want videos/movies I'm watching to be washed out or look bad on the monitor. Thank you for your input.
