Monitor choice help request
(I already posted this in r/monitors, but it seems to be almost dead, and purchasing help posts don't seem to get much response. If I should be posting elsewhere, please point me there. I'm posting in r/PCMR because I know there's a lot of useful knowledge here.)
I'm looking at 27" 1440p 144Hz TN monitors, preferably with 1ms response time. My local supplier has these two:
- Acer KG271UA - https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/acer-kg271ua-27-2560-x-1440-pixels-monitors-8841685?tagIds=77-624
- AOC AGON AG271QX - https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/aoc-agon-ag271qx-27-2560-x-1440-pixels-monitors-5815666?tagIds=77-624
So, questions:
Is one of these models/brands superior to the other? Are there any other comparable models to look at? I'm in Switzerland, so Amazon links and Newegg etc will generally not be cost effective because of shipping and customs duties.
BTW, I also see this IPS panel that claims 1ms response:
- Acer Nitro VG270UP - https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/acer-nitro-vg270up-27-2560-x-1440-pixels-monitors-10450241?tagIds=77-624
and although I know that it isn't measured the same way, how would it compare to the others I listed?

They both seem to be functionally the same Acer and aoc are pretty well known monitor makers. I don't think you'd have a problem buying either one just make sure you grab a warranty just in case.
