For gaming, there are only a few factors to look at on monitors. The first is Refresh rate. For gaming, you generally want a monitor that has a refresh rate of atleast 60hz, which means the monitor is displaying at 60 fps. You also want a very low response time for the monitor. Ideally this would be under 5ms. The HP display has an 8ms response time and a 60hz refresh rate. The Asus one also has a refresh rate of 60hz, but it's response time is only 5ms. This isn't as important for gaming, but it can make some games more pristine is the contrast ratio. The Asus has a much, much higher contrast ratio alonwing for much crisper images. In terms of gaming performance, the Asus will be much better. If you really want that extra inch, the HP monitor will do just fine and you should really have no issues using it. It's really up to you.
