Response time or Refresh Rate?

Should I choose a 144hz 4ms curved VA monitor or a 75hz 1ms TN monitor? I'm running a GTX 1060 6gb (Mobile) and am wondering if the card is good enough to capitalise on the 144hz monitor? I'm using it for some work and casual gaming. Thanks!

 

Here are the two monitors

75hz 1ms TN monitor -> https://www.amazon.com/24-inch-FreeSync-Monitor-VG245H-Response/dp/B01JGYM5H6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1527931478&sr=1-1

Response times are mostly meaningless and unreliable, don't pay them much/any attention. 

 

Go for the 144Hz VA. It's better in basically every way.

Response time is meaningless. 

Look at the refreshrate. Get the 144hz VA panel, VA has better colors than TN, also better viewing angles.

Absolutely go for the 144Hz panel. The listed reponse times from manufacturers are bogus most of the time as well.

144Hz VA of course. TN has so many drawbacks, having high refresh rate at a cheaper price is the only reason why it even exists. Without this advantage, it's not worth considering
