I want to buy a new gaming monitor. From my local online web stores I've found my 2 best options. I can't decide which one though, so I'm asking for your help. My picks are ACER Nitro XV240YPbmiiprx for $245 or Philips 27" 272E1GAJ for $258. Help would be appreciated.

The Philips has better brightness 350 vs 250

they both 144Hz and AMD Free sync so no argue in that...

Philips has 4ms response time GTG while Acer has 2ms

also the Philips is 27" against Acer being 24"

I'd go with Philips since I own a 27" monitor and I have seen 24" monitors and I believe 27 is the perfect size! and it has better brightness! 2 for philips 1(response time) for Acer...

Thats not what I've found, II think the philips has a 1ms response time and the acer higher refresh rate?

well let's be honest, I guess Philips site itself knows better what product they made than Amazon xD
besides I said GTG! in it's site itself says GTG is 4ms and MPRT is 1ms.... so I wasn't wrong...
I have seen false info in Amazon in the past, not saying this is false info since the MPRT is 1ms but they not saying the GTG response time anyways so...

Ha ok Sorry I Would go for the acer personally, better connectivity, IPS pannel, higher refresh rate but also a slightly less cool stand

they both 144Hz how is it higher refresh rate?
my monitor is VA panel and I am very satisfied with it, idk how big of a difference IPS panel would make, but other than that and the looks that is personal interest, philips has more to say!
I would also look into comments under their amazon site to see what other ppl would say about them before purchasing either of them...
