I'm looking for a second monitor. Currently I'm using the ASUS VG248QE (1080p, 144hz, 1ms, 24 inches) and I'm not sure if I should save money and go for a 60hz panel with higher response time or go all out and get a second ASUS VG248QE. Also if you want you can suggest some 24 inch monitors (1080p) .

I don't see much reason to get another 144hz for a secondary display. 

A nice IPS panel would probably be better. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0148NNKTC/?tag=pcpapi-20

Is it possible that Acer and AOC use the same Panel for that Screen ? If so I have the AOC on and can 100% recommend it

It's possible but I wouldn't know for sure.

The same can go for TN looking worse than IPS. 

From what I've experienced and from other people's reactions, IPS over TN tends to make a bigger difference than 144/120hz over 60hz.
