Looking at these two monitors currently:
Acer ED242QRA (seems to be a rebranding of an ED242QR)
Acer XF240H

These two seems to be the cheapest 144hz monitors I can find right now, unless I look for used ones of course.

I'm upgrading from a really old Samsung monitor and currently deciding to upgrade to a 144hz monitor. I'm going to use them mostly for gaming, I play tons of FPS games but not competitively, so the 144hz would greatly help in those games.

So far looking at reviews for these monitors, the ED242QRA does not seem to be VESA mount compatible while the XF240H does. On the bright side, the ED242QRA has a VA panel so colors might be better on it. However, it does have a 4ms input lag as opposed to XF240H's 1ms input lag, but then again I'm not entirely sure if it would make that much of a difference. On another note, the ED242QRA is a curved 24" monitor..

Which should I get?

Personally a curved monitor on a 24" is not really a big difference. I've tested a 27" curved Samsung monitor with a Dell U2715H (previous monitor) and it doesn't really make that big of a difference. If u are getting an UltraWide 21:9 monitor, then the curve does make it look more immersive. I'm currently using a 34" curved U3415W at home. I just feel like the curvature looks better on a wider screen as compared to a 24" or 27". Maybe it's personal preference..
For your case, I would go for XF240H. Just my 2 cents smile.gif
