Hi sifus! I’m looking for 24inch monitor, 1080p, 144hz, ips. I’ve done a few research and narrow down to this 3 monitors. Help me choose please or if you have any other suggestion please let me know. My budget is below 1k
1. Acer Nitro XV240YP 2. Asus VG249Q 3. AOC 24G2

I've been eyeing for a 1080p 24" monitor lately, and too many reviews have opt for the AOC 24G2 as the best choice in terms of colour production and overdrive performance. Personally, I think it only falls short in terms of viewing angles.

AOC 24G2 is a good consideration. Btw, I'm considering the 27G2 seriously.

QUOTE(Jescon @ Jun 24 2020, 08:56 AM) C'mon, share your reasons since I'm looking as well I’m choosing acer because it is the cheapest ips monitor compare to those 2 monitors. And the spec is almost the same as asus. I’m choosing asus over aoc because I’m lil sucker for that brand and the price different just around rm30. I’ve some review on reddit that say aoc had poor view angle and bad ghosting when on low fps but some did not have any issues with their aoc. That’s why I asked for opinion here to get more clarification but it’s all end up to your own design preference because the specification almost identical

Looks pretty neck and neck for ASUS vs Acer in terms of specs. If i were you, i'd go for the XV240VP - cheaper and better warranty.

Hi sifus, sorry for the late reply. Just got back from outstation yesterday. So I bought Asus VG259QM (24.5 inch) because I had a few extra budget and it was superb I tell you. Went from 75hz (previous monitor and currently made it as 2nd monitor) to 240hz was amazing. It was a huge difference especially playing FPS game. If I'm still in the previous budget i will choose: 1. Acer XV240YP (because it is cheaper) 2. Asus VG249Q (because of asus  ) 3. AOC 24G2

Nice, most probably I'll get the Acer too because its about RM100 cheaper than the AOC 24G2 and has 165Hz refresh rate max. Only thing is now everywhere no stock.
Anyone know/has experience with Acer warranty service?

Hahaha good specs with cheap price I think everyone will sure get their hands on it. Design wise, its very minimalist, almost similar to the KG series. Tt has an overdrive software system to improve gaming experience. Fps and stuff seems fine. My review is based on videos I watched so yeah haha. Ultimately, its very budget friendly.
