Which of these budget displays for gaming?

So my budget is tight 275$ usd and I was wondering if this 27" 1440, 144hz display is worth it. https://www.amazon.com/GFT27DB-27-Inch-Monitor-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07NBM6KYH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SWV36DWV7MB2&keywords=gft27db&qid=1570148230&sprefix=gft27%2Caps%2C233&sr=8-1

and what is the difference between the GFT model and the GN model

Gn model: https://www.amazon.com/GFT27DB-27-Inch-Monitor-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SWV36DWV7MB2&keywords=gft27db&qid=1570148230&sprefix=gft27%2Caps%2C233&sr=8-1&th=1

the gn model is VA but I don't know what it means I just want a fast monitor

i would say to avoid both monitors and go for this one
it has a VA panel which means that it has better color accuracy and better colors at oblique angles (looking from the side)

TN panels have worse color accuracy however are faster, but this monitor is within budget and is best of both worlds.

Since it doesn't have a brightness rating, I wouldn't get either. I'd spend the extra $25 on this:

I wouldn't. Too dim.

I have seen reviews of the GFT on hardware unboxed and how it's the best TN they've seen.

Sure, but the best TN probably still isn't as good as a decent VA.
