Any real difference between these monitors?

[DropDareBear]

So my question is, is there any difference between these two monitors? other then price tag and brand.

Extracts from my go-to guide on monitors,
AOC:

The AOC AGON AG271QG uses a 27" 2560x1440 essentially grain free matte AUO AHVA panel with 30-165hz Nvidia G-Sync range. It has a fully adjustable stand, lots of inputs and a matte black bezel. The AOC has superior 1080p scaling compared to the Asus PG279Q, and superior 60hz overdrive compared to the Acer XB271HU, Asus PG279Q and Viewsonic XG2703-GS, but suffers from more overshoot ghosting or slower pixel response times at 144hz compared to the Asus PG279Q and Viewsonic XG2703-GS, but its performance can still be deemed as excellent. The AOC AG271QC reviewed by PRAD came with low preset gamma while the rest of the tested units are great.

Acer:

The Acer XB271HU uses a 27" 2560x1440 resolution 8 Bit AUO AHVA panel, a nearly grain free matte coating, has good colour presets aside from a preset green tint, a frame-less casing with an inner black bezel which decreases the perceived black depth, fast pixel response times and a 144hz refresh rate. G-Sync (Nvivida GPU required) works from 30-165hz (144hz is the default maximum refresh rate but it can be overclocked to 165hz), eliminates tearing and lag, but Lightboost is limited to 120z. It also has an HDMI input which allows it to work with external devices like consoles.

I went with the Acer because of faster response times at 144Hz. Also, aesthetics. But, really, both are fantastic.
