Tearing isn't usually a monitor problem, generally gpu. It can sometimes be helped with a monitor that has adaptive sync, but that's fixing the symptom not the problem.
What monitor do you have currently?

I mean that's a 60hz 1080p panel, you should have no problem powering that. What games do you play? What setting are they at? Have you tried vsync or freesync? Have you made sure your drivers are up to date, both for monitor and gpu?

If you were using two monitor with different refresh rates, windows can get wack and cause issues
