Need help with choosing monitor

Elvis
Hey.

I am looking for a new monitor to buy and I can't chose between these 3 options:
Acer Predator XB241YU
AOC AG241QG
Asus PG248Q 

All monitors have a GSYNC. AOC and ACER are up to 165Hz (only with gsync on) and 1440p, but ASUS is up to 180Hz and 1080p. All of them 24 inch. I do not wanna go bigger that 24 inch display. 

I am considering how would a game look if I would downscale it from 1440p to 1080p on 24 inch monitor?
Also I think ACER has the best colours but I am not sure.
And I heard that ASUS monitor have a poor colour accuracy, backlight leak and are not advised to use in full 180Hz. 

I am mainly a CSGO player but I also play a lot of graphical intense games. Occasionally doing photo and video editing (I know that IPS panel is better for that but for now I am looking for a gaming monitor).

If your GPU is fast enough, I would go with one of the 1440p monitors

Main Rig: EK custom loop |2700x @ 4.25 Ghz| Msi X470 Gaming Plus | 32gb DDR4 | Aorus GTX 1080ti @ 2088 Mhz | TT Core X71 TG | Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500gb + 256gb Toshiba NVMe + 275GB Crucial m.2

iirc aoc and acer are 144hz but you can overclock to 165

 

What are your PC specs? You think it can handle 1440p at 165hz refresh rate? What gpu intensive game do you play? Feels like a 1080p would benefit you more

lol there's no need for higher than 1080p if your main game is CS:GO. It's not exactly the prettiest game now is it. barebones FPS shooters need all dat FPS and native pixel perfect resolution, no scaling. I would get the 1440p if you play slightly prettier games, and maybe even go all the way to an ASUS PB287Q and run it at 60hz (higher than 60hz is nice at this point, not neccesary)

@deXxterlab97 The hardware is going to handle 1440p ant 144-165hz. I am just concern about overall quality of those monitors. Which of them have more accurate colours better viewing angles and so on. How do you think which is better from 1440p? ACER or AOC?

They are all good monitors. But which hardware is it exactly. How sure you can be. For CS GO a 180hz is really beneficial that is if you play it competetively not going deathmatch or casual or some servers. What other graphical intensive game do you play? Name of them?

It is necessary for competitive play.
