I can't find a new monitor, everything i try is broken lol

Long story short:
My 2411t is dying and i already tried two "new" monitors, but both of them have major flaws.
XL2540: i don't have any regrets with this one, too bad at the highest csgo level you don't even see the enemy when he picks. BTW my results on humanbench are constantly 150 ms average @ 144hz and it was 170 @ 240 hz. The average isn't even so bad, but the monitor had some lag spikes sometimes and this was really bad. My cpu is a brodwell-e paired with a gtx 1080, so it's not a fps problem (i can pull 300 fps @ overwatch while streaming @ 60 fps). So do the math.
XL2430: no problem about input lag, but i see ghosting everywhere. Yellow and Black colors are ghosting a lot, i had to lower the sharpness to 5 otherwise it was unplayable. Still my eyes hurts after 30 min because of that, plus i don't understand why should i pay 400€ to see ghosting on a 144hz monitor: my second monitor is a cheap 100€ benq 60hz VA Panel and i see less ghosting lol...
I am absolutlely not picky about monitors, i just use two profiles (1 normal usage, 2 gaming) and that's all. I just need low input lag and no ghosting. In 15 years i had 2 crt, 1 viewsonic 120hz and the xl2411t, so i don't care about colors and stuff i just wanna play without ghosting and with the lowest input lag possible
Now... what should i try? I am out of ideas, at this point i regret sending back the xl2540 Is the xl2411 the same panel of the xl2430, right?
