ASUS VG248QE 270 - 275$ on amazon

ASUS MG248Q $251 at microcenter

so ASUS VG248QE is old

the ASUS MG248Q is newer and i think was suppose to replace the ASUS VG248QE

I heard good and bad reviews about both and a small percentage say the coloring or something is crap on both but I also here great reviews so its like who do you believe lol?

other than that everything is the same both 1ms both 144hz both 24" BUT the design, pivot options of the monitor, and menu settings/customization are a lot better on the new model ASUS MG248Q

I'm a little paranoid about buying the newer ASUS MG248Q becuz of some things I have heard about it and the fact its cheaper than the older one

Does anyone have any intel on which is better or if both are a bad buy or is the newer ASUS MG248Q just a better monitor and price?

Negative reddit post about these 2 monitors https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/55mhfd/opinions_on_the_asus_mg248q_monitor/

I'd get a new Zowie (BenQ) 144hz if I was going to get one again.

VG248QE is old and has poor colors no matter what you do.

The MG248Q is newer and probably somehow has better colors, but it's still a 6 bit TN panel. So... yeah. Not great.

But seriously, Check out the acer i linked.

It's quite good & $50 less than the two you're looking at.
