Need help choosing a 240HZ 1ms monitor (mainly debating between the VG259QM and Mag 251rx)

Hey everyone, I recently switched from console to PC and am looking for a new monitor to go along with it. Looking primarily for 240HZ 1ms response time and maybe an IPS panel to watch TV shows, YouTube etc while not gaming (although I'm open to TN). I'm open to other suggestions, but so far through my research it seems like the Asus VG259QM and Mag 251rx are very popular choices and some people like the Asus better, others like the mag better and think the colors are better and etc. Now I'm turning to you guys for help because I'm at a standstill and don't know what to choose.

MSI because of the color accuracy and consistency of the panel.

Apparently on the Asus you can get "good" panel and the traditional horrible panel that i've had 5 times.

Personally i don't recommend the Asus because of the color accuracy/motion clarity was just average like some random IPS 1080p and strobing was not useful.
Current temporary test : XL2546X | Main monitor : XL2546X or MPG271QRX | I've had : 1080P : XL2566K / XL2546K / XL2546 / XL2540K / XL2746S / EX2510 / MAG251RX / NXG253R / MAG271CR / VG259QM / VG258QM / XG249CM / XG259CM / VG279QM / S2522HG / XG2431 / XG2405 / XG2702 / AW2518HF / AW2521HF / AW2720HF / 24G2U / Omen X 25 | 1440P : XV272UX / MAG274QRF-QD / 27GP850 / 27GN850 / AW2723DF / Omen X 27 / XG27AQM / XG27AQMR / S2721DGFA / Odyssey G7 / EX270QM / VG27AQML1A / XENEON 27QHD240 / XV272UKF / XV272UX 4K : U28G2XU2 / M32UC
