Help me choose between 2 monitors

[Twipp]

Hello, ive been havin a hard time between choosing 2 240hz monitors its either the viewsonic xg2530 (freesync) or the Alienware - AW2518H (G sync) never used gsync or free sync so i dont see it that important, i have had a gsync monitor before and never used gsync feature, so as far as i know its not that important to me, so id like to know which one is a better panel overall, price difference is around 30 USD

Thanks in advance.

I purchased/try the AW2518H and I returned it. On paper the monitor is great but in reality it suffer from big pixel-inversion issues. If you planning to play some shooters and you strafe a lot you'll see from time to time some alternating dark/light vertical lines. With the 1080p resolution on a 25" monitor it was unbearable and very disturbing while playing. The vertical view angle is also really bad at 160 degree. Better be well seated in the center.

I don't why this monitor still make the cut as one of the best gaming monitor on this website, but it shouldn't.
