Hello. As someone who plays competitive games a lot, I'm considering buying one of these 2 monitors. Which one do you think I should choose?

I also wonder how these 2 monitors perform at values ​​like 140-160-180-200 FPS. At CoD Warzone I cant get 240 FPS.

Those are 2019 panels. Consider newer with better gtg such as XG2431 (for US market) and 24G2ZU (for EU). These new are also standard gamut monitors, so nothing special in terms of colors.

Are the 2019 panels bad now? I'm actually looking at 24.5 monitors and I live in Europe.

They are ok. No reason to buy older when there is newer, better and maybe cheaper.

Its 0.7" difference, not a big deal. There are more 25" coming soon with same gtg.

My monitor is broken and I can't play games, so I guess I won't wait. Which of these two would you recommend?

I'd suggest to wait. Sometimes taking a break from games is better than playing games hh. But if u insist here are some that might do good: XG259CM, XG249CM, 25G3Z, G2590PZ, XV241YXbmiiprx, S2522HG and ofc the 24G2ZU, XG2431.

Another sometimes cheap 2019 panels are XV252QZbmiiprx, Y25-25. Still wouldn't buy them knowing there are new ones.

Would you still suggest waiting? I can buy the 24G2ZU for 189€ and I'm not sure if I should go for it or wait. For reference I'm using a 144hz TN monitor that I'm pretty eager to change.
