ASUS VG248QE vs Philips 242G5DJEB // Which one to buy?

I want to clarify, both of these monitors are 1080p and have a 144hz refresh rate, they both cost the same (with shipping included) around 300$ dollars. 

 

Which of the two is better? (Looks, angles, contrast ratio, personal experience)

 

Appreciate anyone that sheds some light into this, really debating this one.

Do you really need 144Hz, I would recommend getting 120Hz and save a few bucks

I had a vg248qe @op (3 of them to be exact)   they're quite good.  If you need "fast" refresh and low response times it's very good.

The vg248qe supports lightboost and the Philips does not. That alone makes it a better buy.

main(i){for(;i<101;i++)printf("Fizz\n\0Fizzz\bBuzz\n\0%d\n"+(!(i%5)^!!(i%3)*3)*6,i);}
