Question ASUS vs ACER

[Adyoyo]

I have bought 2 monitors and I cannot decide which one to choose, the acer cost 5$ more.
Acer vg242yp & Asus vg249q

Acer
-pro
Has 165hz refresh rate
More options in osd menu also brightness to 350/400 nits
Has 2*hdmi 2.0, 1dp.1.4
The speakers are way louder than asus vg249q
Has hdr 400 which if you ask me is useless
came with hdmi + dp cable

-cons
Has a cheaper look
Cheap stand
The display is hot to the touch, less on the asus
Has a blue filter on that can't disappear, "washed out view"(I think is about deltaE), the blue filter from osd is not active
It is classified as B class in energy

Asus
-pro
Has a great solid stand
Looks premium
Has 1vga, 1hdmi 1.4, 1dp 1.2
The colors are better in a comparison 1 to 1 with all my changes in Acer osd, seems like asus has a yellow filter that give more colors to objects or smth
Can be adjusted with the stand in multiple ways
Classified A class in energy

-cons
Came only with dp cable
Sound is not so loud
Less options in osd than for acer


Which one you choose ?

Asus vs Acer, just on the face of it I'd think Asus. I have had some Acer equipment and it's all been, shall we say, less than top equipment. A laptop that died prematurely and with not much use and a monitor that's nothing special (that I still have). Asus, at least some of it, is premium equipment, is my impression. The only Asus that I've bought are a couple Wifi routers, am using one now. My impression is that their motherboards are relatively quality. Of course, YMMV, only you know what you have there. Read reviews! That's what I do more than anything when making buy decisions. Read a lot and read between the lines. Sometimes it's tough.

Acer has greater durability than anyone I am still using it

It is generally considered bad form to post the exact same topic in multiple web forums simultaneously, unless or until the results of the first forum you post the topic to, reach an unsatisfactory answer to your question.

However my answer is neither. I'd never pay a premium for a mere 24", 1080p gaming monitor. Size too small, resolution too small, if the budget is that tight then get a cheap 24", 1080p monitor instead and use the money saved for something more important, or if your current monitor works still, just return both of those and wait to get something larger and better resolution.

First off, you ordered two monitors to try and just keep one? Nice job, I hope they charge you a restocking fee. Second, you're using monitor speakers? Seriously? Third, at those prices, does $5 really matter? Finally, the energy cost would be minimal despite one being a "letter grade" better.

I would say the Asus, or neither. And what the heck is ASUS doing shipping gaming monitors with VGA anyway?

Hmm, someone just quoted me then replied to something else.

As far as what Asus was thinking with the analog VGA input, yeah few people use it today but if someone has a need, a 1080p monitor seems appropriate for that since it's the max VGA can do. I imagine it didn't raise the cost much and isn't going to hurt to have it.

Well I take that back, I once had a Viewsonic with both DVI and VGA, that had the DVI input stop working, and when I sent it in for warranty repair, they only tested that the VGA worked, and returned it to me still broken on the DVI input so I had to return it to them a 2nd time to get it all sorted out.

Oops, fixed that. Please accept my humble apology.

Acer has Innolux's fast response time panel, while Asus has Panda's legendary, at this point, Wide Color gamut panel.

Two very different panels, focusing on two very different factors. Innolux's panel has absolutely mind blowing response times, with almost no motion blur with "optimum" overdrive settings. Response time, that could absolutely be used with 240 Hz display, because it fits in 100% of transition times for 240 Hz refresh rate window...

You have not mentioned this, but which Overdrive setting do you get locked into with Freesync/G-Sync On, because this is typical problem for Acer's monitors.

Panda's panel focuses on delivering overall best possible experience, with wide color gamut coverage, "average" response times, that are "good enough" for 144 Hz refresh rate.

Both are very good monitors, but that depends on what you want to do with them. If you want the best competitive experience - pick Acer, if you can run G-Sync/FreeSync with optimal Overdrive settings, otherwise, you will get plenty of overshoot, knowing how Acer tunes their overdrive.

If you want the best overall experience, that you are not the most competitive gamer - pick Asus. Because "it just works".

^ Good info, though I wonder if Adyoyo has already made a decision since a month and a half has gone by.
