Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx
ASUS VG246H
The Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx is much better than the ASUS VG246H. The Acer has a higher refresh rate and much faster response times, resulting in significantly clearer motion, with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. The Acer also supports HDR, although this doesn't add much, and it has better viewing angles.
