Probably whichever one you use as primary is the one you think looks better, that's how I would choose. Look at your monitors!

Hows the Acer Nitro XV272U Pbmiiprzx? It's $300 on amazon right now and I've got a $100 amazon gift card sitting around. On the other hand I've got plenty enough things to fill my time that I don't really need a new monitor...

I have a simliar question about this new G27Q from Gigabyte at $330

I was also looking at this

I know I lose the usb hub for a curved screen and go from IPS to VA, but they're the same price. I know in other threads it's the general consensus that samsung is greater expense for no improvement in quality, does that hold true here as well?

I have an older c24fg70 and it's a real good monitor except for needing to warm up a bit before it works. I'd say it's probably great for a va.

I was considering buying it but apparently it only has vertical axis tilting. Horrible ergonomics for tall folks

I went for the viewsonic elite XG270QC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VKPWYQ5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 based on a really good review, a decent price point, and having liked my previous curved VA a whole lot.

But now I'm struggling with really bad bright orange flashing behind the black text whenever I scroll. I assume this is ghosting. What do I adjust to correct this? And can anyone tell me why the "overlock" feature in my bios forces it to 2048x1536? Edit figured this out. Overclocking refresh rate means drawing more small screens faster.

Other than this orange things I really like the monitor so far!

I'm looking to replace a 1440p 144hz gaming monitor that's gone dark. It seems like there's a ton of $200 options now, but are any especially good or bad?

Thanks for advices. I don't actually care about color reproduction at all. I ultimately went with a Dell S3222DGM but only because I hadn't seen the $350 4k monitor that can do 144hz.

Definitely gonna be getting that one next though, goddamn.

I smashed my monitor due to an improperly secured desktop so I am back in the market

I replaced the Dell DGM 3222 last night. Guy at micro center suggested those Acer monitors have bad motion blur but he may have just been trying to keep me buying the higher priced item.

1440 VA monitors are cheap everywhere right now though.
