Which monitor

[ldmendes7]

I am deciding to upgrade to a high refresh rate for gaming, and I want 24 inches as I play CSGO, and as I own a 4k currently 1080p is too much of a downgrade so I would like 1440p. However with these 3 (24", 144hz and 1440p) there are no models with an IPS or VA panel, only TN. So I have narrowed it down to these: 

 

Number 1

Pros: 

• Looks much better (imo)
• Cheaper
• One of the Nvidia supported adaptive sync

 

Number 2

Pros:

• Up to 165hz (165 vs 144 is negligible though)
• G sync

 

However as I currently use an IPS pane I think the main decider is which monitor has the best colours, closest to an IPS (as they are TN). I know some TN panels are significantly better than others and some TN panels can almost look as good as an IPS.

 

So which monitor do you think has better colours?

what GPU are you using

higher rates is always better for Esports Competitive games, and G-Sync is not that important now nVidia also support Freesync Now. I always think that IPS have better colors but for the sake of seeing the enemy first i would go for Acer.

personally i would go the Predator one as the colour on the XB240H (1080p one i have) puts my cheap one to shame, bit hard to see but here is a picture

another image, i'm not sure what it is but as soon as i set up the predator i spend like 20 minutes just moving pictures back and forth between the monitors, amazed at the difference

maybe a larger colour depth or something like that, i also have not changed the settings of the predator, but when i got the predator i changed the acer's so it was as close to the predator as possible, but as you can see its still a long way off
