Acer ZX271 vs Samsung C27FG70

[IAR117]

Same price, size, refresh rate. Different response times, panel type and manufacturer. Which has the better panel for the price?

Samsung- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LC27FG70FQUXEN-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01L989XW2/ref=pd_sbs_147_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=W70P3QCJ0RXK4ZB5FWD6

Acer- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-XZ271bmijpphzx-27-Inch-Curved-Monitor/dp/B01EDXHX5E/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1495736421&sr=1-2&keywords=Acer+144hz+curved

I would buy the bigger one, what kind of games do you play? why not go for 1440p 60hz, other than CSGO, you really don't need 144hz.

They're both 27 inches. I tried out 144hz gaming once and I really want to go back. Plus screen tearing exists. Also there is 1440p TN 144Hz one. It's flat and 24 inches, but I worry that my PC won't be able to play the games at a consistent 144 frames. It is an AOC Agon monitor, not sure of the model number though

screen tearing will be present at such high framerate, why not go for gsync

Samsung has better response time of 1ms compared to the 4ms the acer has, go for the Samsung one, also buy directly from Amazon.

a marketing term, you can use Nvidia fast sync with any monitor.
