I was wondering if the Acer GN246HL would bottleneck my laptop? Personally the only game I play is OSU!, and I will only be watching movies. However, I am still scared that my graphics card (GeForce 940m) would struggle to run the monitor. Currently my laptop screen is to small and its making me squint.

I don't think your 940m is going to be able to run at 144hz. If your laptop screen is only 720p and your new display is 1080p or above, your framerate is going to drop drastically.
