Samsung Odyssey G4 or ASUS TUF V24?

Former has 240hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium but falsely advertised as having GSync, 25 inches wide, stand can be rotated and adjusted in height (not just tilting), has a fake 21:9 aspect ratio (just adds black bars and zooms out), 400 nits brightness, standard 1 year warranty, and comes with a huge price tag of 300 dollars. Latter has 180hz refresh rate, FreeSync but no indication of GSync, 23.8 inches wide, comes with 3 year warranty, significantly cheaper at 150 dollars, 250 nits brightness, but the stand can only be tilted. Otherwise, both are the same with FHD, LCD IPS, sRGB, GTG 1ms, HDR (not HDR10+), 1000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 ports along with 3.5mm, crappy monitor speakers, 16:9 flat screen (so not curved), thin bezels, anti-flickering, eye care, and that shadow boost thingie.

Samsung Odyssey.
Can't go wrong with them.
I've used them.
Awesome monitors.

@basilfawlty89 idk people complain it starts having issues in a few months to a year, and ASUS doesn't really help

It's actually sad that my gaming laptop that's 5.5 years old has a monitor with barely any issues, yet it's quite low spec (FHD 60hz LCD IPS 20ms SDR). meanwhile these desktop monitors that's designed for gaming (144hz+ HDR <5ms FreeSync) can't even last 1 year before they mess up

@uikakarotuevegeta I've had good luck so far with two brands - Samsung and Dell. And they offer decent warranties.
Never used an Asis monitor.
Acer and AOC are also worth a look.

@basilfawlty89 Acer products are generally garbage, and when I checked them out on Amazon they had warnings that the monitors were frequently returned

AoC sadly has gotten better in quality, so they jacked up the price of their monitors
