Help me choose between two monitors

[ComradeBard]

Im buying a new 1440p monitor this week and im undecided between the Dell S3220DGF for 460e and Asus TUF Gaming VG27BQ for 504e
(https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-32-curved-gaming-monitor-s3220dgf/apd/210-atyt/monitors-monitor-accessories , https://www.asus.com/Monitors/TUF-Gaming-VG27BQ/)

The Asus has a better response time by quite a bit (few ms) and slightly better input lag (0,5ms at native refresh), but the dell has better contrast, blacks and HDR from what i gathered. I think i would preffer the better image to the faster response time and input lag but  i have very little experience in screens so i dont know ho much of a difference it would make
Im having a very hard time finding any in depth reviews for the asus so ive been comparing it to the VG27AQ which is more expensive, but they look the same on paper.
I was also lookin at the Asus TUF Gaming VG32VQ, but that just looks like a downgrade to both of them for more money.

Im mostly gonna be using it for gaming, movies and programing, with some video editing from time to time.
I mostly play dota 2 and single player games, with some CS:GO/Overwatch on the side
Specs:

CPU: i5 4690k
RAM: 4x8GB HyperX Fury
GPU: Evga gtx970
MOBO: Asrock z97 extreme 4

Display: 10yo LG Flatron e2240t
I know my system is kinda underpowered, but it should still work grat for dota and for the indie rpgs like wasteland and divinity, everything else i just plan to play on 1080p windowed until i get a 3080

Are you also debating in between getting a Curved or Flat monitor as well?

 

edit: nevermind that question im just stupid

 

For me I would go with the Asus since i've read many good reviews about them and also a 0.4 ms response time vs a 4ms response time is pretty significant. Maybe try narrowing down your search options but looking at your current monitor either or would still be a big leap.

Nah dont really care about the curve, its a nice bonus on the 32" but definitely not a make or break thing
Edit:  Yeah that response time is whats bugging me, i dont know how big of a difference it makes IRL (same with the other differences). I called all over to if anyone has them in stock but no luck, best i can do is compare a 32inch vs a 27 in store

I would recommend https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850-B-gaming-monitor, it's IPS but it still has very good response time

Although if you find the LG to expensive, you can buy the Asus VG27AQ

[Mihael]

(The monitors I recommended are IPS, that means that their response time is a little worse but their colors are amazing.)

Oh that a preatty good display, looks like better contrast and blacks than the asus but still not as good as the dell, im still  wondering how noticable the response time is vs the deeper contrast and blacks on the dell, looking at the linus vid comparing the 5ms vs the 1ms lgs the difference dosent seem that that much
The lg is actually cheaper here than the VG27AQ and dosent seems much better at all, so definetly lg over asus
Dell - 460e
Lg- 480e

VG27BQ- 503e

VG27AQ - 568e

I watched a bunch more stuff, found some tests and comparisons on yt, im going for the Dell, the colours look amazing vs a tn pannel and the ghosting wasnt noticable
