Hello guys, I cannot decide between these two. I have a quite tight budget so buying of a monitor is a big deal for me. Could you advise which of those two are better? I heard there are some problems with the panel on that MSI one so I am a little bit afraid.

 

Any suggestions and why?

I saw some posts that guys were complaining that often they produce these monitors with dead pixels. You don't have similar experience ?

Also, I heard about the ghosting issue with VA panels. Do you have any experience?

Do not get AOC.  I got one and its a POS company with a POS monitor.  Grab the MSI, don't go near AOC crap.

That is not true.  It all depends on your GTG.  VA means right in front of monitor but wioth IPS viewing angles are enhanced and don't botch up if someone behind you or next to you is viewing monitor as well.  For hardcore gaming VA or TN.  IPS is not good for hardcore gaming.
