Cant chose between 2 monitors

[Tholo]

Hello, 

I've been using 2 60Hz monitors which I got second hand. I've been thinking about buying a new monitor for a while now but I kept leaving it for the future. Now my adapter for my 2nd monitor broke and since I sometimes like to stream I will need a replacement for it. I've been looking at two monitprs and I was hoping if someone else has some knowledge or owns one of these monitors and can give me advise. 

 

I'm talking about the:

-MSI Optix G241

-AOC G2590FX

 

They have both dropped in price in my country. The MSI one is now €200 and the AOC one is €160. They both have a 144hz refresh rate and a 1ms responsetime but the MSI one has a IPS panel and the AOC has an TN panel. The AOC panel however has a 400cd/m² brightness and the MSI has a 250cd/m². 

 

Do you think its worth the extra €40 for someone who games, watches some films and does some content creation and graphics design?

 

Thanks

I'd say its worth getting the MSI one, although if you want one with better panel than the AOC one, if you can get the Sceptre C24 I would reccomend it as I currently use it and it's amazing.

Just looked it up and they don't really sell them in the Netherlands and on their site they are all out. However, thanks for the advice!

No problem, my mother is a graphic designer and really values good colour and panels, so the MSI should be good, and I reccomend getting that monitor quickly, since when I bought my monitor I looked at similar models to those but they went out of stock within 2 days when coming on sale

My friend recently got the AOC 24G2U, a seemingly similar monitor, and has been really happy with it. It goes for about €199. Perhaps it might be interesting for you?
