Interested in this topic as well. Looking for something sub 1k for 24ā€-27ā€.

Dell S2721HS caught my eyes but I’m coming from Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM, so was wondering is it a downgrade in therm of sharpness and monitor quality?

I have used XV240Y, 24GN600 and Asus TUF VG249Q, I would say the Asus TUF VG249Q is the best out of these 3.
The colours are the best in ASUS especially the presets and ASUS ELMB actually works unlike the ones in Acer and LG.

Bro, how is the LG 24GN600-B ?

I just need IPS, full HD & hdmi 2.0. 144Hz min and good response time. height adjustable. budget below rm900. Primary use is fps gaming & work.

For FPS, I highly recommend the ASUS one, their FPS preset + shadow boost really gives you the advantage, LG 24GN600-B have mediocre presets and is not height adjustable.

out of these options, i would go for

1) Acer Nitro XV240Y

due to price vs quality pretty balanced and affordable

2) AOC 24G2

due to the sleek design looks gaming feel and futuristic
