Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx
ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A and the Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx are IPS gaming monitors with a 24" screen, 1080p resolution, and a 165Hz refresh rate. While they both provide a great gaming experience, the ASUS does have slightly better response times at max refresh rate, resulting in a clearer image in fast-moving scenes. On the other hand, the Acer has significantly better ergonomics, whereas the ASUS only allows for tilt adjustment. The Acer also gets brighter to combat glare in well-lit environments. It has HDR support, which the ASUS lacks, but it can't display a wide color gamut.
