Hey.

I am looking for a new monitor to buy and I can't chose between these 3 options:
Acer Predator XB241YU
AOC AG241QG
Asus PG248Q

All monitors have a GSYNC. AOC and ACER are up to 165Hz (only with gsync on) and 1440p, but ASUS is up to 180Hz and 1080p. All of them 24 inch. I do not wanna go bigger that 24 inch display.

I am considering how would a game look if I would downscale it from 1440p to 1080p on 24 inch monitor?
Also I think ACER has the best colours but I am not sure.
And I heard that ASUS monitor have a poor colour accuracy, backlight leak and are not advised to use in full 180Hz.

I am mainly a CSGO player but I also play a lot of graphical intense games. Occasionally doing photo and video editing (I know that IPS panel is better for that but for now I am looking for a gaming monitor).

Don't know why you would want to buy a 1440p monitor at a premium only to downscale to 1080p. Just buy the 1080p, if thats the resolution you want.

All in all, I don't think you would notice much difference from the three monitors, so I would look to other things like price, and return policy because buying monitors is always a lottery and you might have to return / replace a couple to get the "perfect monitor"
