MSI Optix MAG251RX OR AW2521HF Which one i should buy?

Hello. I generally like to play competitive games, I'm stuck between these 2 monitors. Which do you think is more suitable for competitive games? Also I looked at a few videos, but AW looks better in terms of colors. i need your opinion


Also second question for both monitor :
As you know, you can't get 240 FPS in every game. I play a lot of CoD warzone and it's really hard to get 240 FPS in this game. So I'm wondering if the monitor works fine at fps like 144-160-180-200.Is MS always the same at these FPS Values? I want to get same performance at 180 fps.

You can check the Youtube channel "Hardware Unboxed" they do extensive testing on monitors in general, check if they did any testing on those. But in general, what you need to check is their response time, pixel refresh and ghosting around the fps that you normally get.

I got an IPS 165hz monitor recently "LG GP27850-B" and it is really buttery smooth as opposed to my previous 240hz Benq XL2456, because it just performs better at lower refresh rates "Game I play hits between 90-140fps. I also followed @Jormit's guide on how to properly use G-Sync. It also has better resolution, contrast ration, colour gamut, and viewing angles since it was one of the newest LG Nano IPS panels vs an older 2017 TN panel.
