It can get pretty complicated, but there are three basic panel types: TN, VN & IPS. TN are pretty fuzzy and kind of outdated now a days for anyone but the sweatiest of sweatiest gamers who value response time over all else; VN have the best blacks and are good all rounders ; and finally IPS give you good color saturation and accurate color reproduction at the cost of weak blacks and often backlight glow. So that is panel type.

Then you got refresh rate. In general, while your video card is pretty weak, you want a 144hz here. That way you will get the smoothest image provided you can get the FPS, although you will have a hard time get close to 144 FPS with anything but older games like CS GO and League with that graphics card. Still, pretty sweet when you can get the high FPS.

Then finally the size. In general, 24 inches is optimal for 1080p and 27 is optimal for 1440p. Since, your video card is a bit weak, you may want to consider a 1080p monitor, since you will get about 1/2 the fps at 1440p compared to 1080p and you generally don't want to be dipping bellow 60fps. Plus there are weird scaling issues with 1440p sometimes, since it is a weird stop gap resolution similar to 720p. But that extra screen real estate can be nice, so I can see why people like them
