I would just be more concerned with some future scenario that you get denied health insurance because your provider bought the DNA information.
If health insurance in the United States wasn't so up in the air right now maybe I could sleep easier, but right now who the fuck knows what will happen.

Thinking about picking 2 of these up. Would I be better off spending more and getting non-sale monitors?

I guess I should have specified I currently have this monitor:

Would it make sense to just get another one of these or go for a 144 hz monitor? I don't play any FPS's but do play games like Rocket League, Witcher 3 and random MMOs.

I mean if you want to game in style, a 24" 144hz gsync 1440p monitor isn't THAT much. I have the Dell one (D2417DG or something) which is an IPS panel so it's more expensive. That said if you don't really care that much and just want something nicer in general (though I think this is only 75 HZ) and you are a Costco member this seems pretty decent:

You sure your panel is IPS? I haven't checked in the last six months but I'm pretty sure all the Dell gSync monitors sold are TN panels - I bought one last year and like it, but hope to upgrade to a 144hz HDR gSync 2560 or 4k panel next year.
The omen is a nice monitor but its freesync not gsync. Gsync tax seems high always but it is better than basic freesync if you have an nvidia card, AMD of course freesync is better. Next year should be interesting, HDMI 2.1 is approved and has as a feature Variable Refresh Rate which is basically gsync/freesync over HDMI. Nvidia however lobbied for Displayport 2.1 to NOT include that, so its going to be over HDMI but not DP. I have no idea whats going to happen with monitors, whether they will all go HDMI 2.1/VRR or we will continue to have FreeSync, gSync, and now VRR models of monitors.[/QUOTE]

Damn you may be right now that I'm looking at the specs. I for sure was looking for IPS and once calibrated it isn't far off from my older LG IPS monitor. Well that sucks.
Guess I won't feel bad replacing it with another TN panel now.
The real question is will nVidia actually support VRR/hdmi 2.1 on their cards. Clearly not it seems since they're unwilling to stake their reputation on Gsync, they have to try and vendor lock people into it.
