AW2518Hf vs. AG251FZ vs. LG27GK750F-B ?

I need to choose between these three 240hz Monitors (Cause it's the maximum i can pay)

Dell Alienware AW2518Hf vs. AOC Agon AG251FZ vs. LG 27GK750F-B

i am personally more interested in the AW one because it got a more bezel less design for that price. I would mainly use it for eSport Titles, but also as my main monitor for normal games and browsing and stuff.

What would you guys choose, and why?

Hi, I bought one of the aw2518hf yesterday. I totally regret that. I had an IPS monitor before and the difference is huge. The iamge quality is so bad by the aw2518hf. I tihk that if the picture quality is important to you something to you, buy a different monitor...

As far as I'm informed, the alienware and the AOC have the same panel, so the difference is in other features and I have no info about the LG.

I own the LG27GK750F-B and I would advise you to stay far away from it. Why? The monitor is technically broken that requires a firmware from LG to fix the 240hz timings, which they still have no released. Even using Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) to "overclock" in order to get 240hz to work properly results in stuttering, black in-game artifacts, tearing, etc. Even with Motion Blur Reduction (MBR) enabled, this will still cause artifacts and it sometimes take you out of MBR depending on the game you load like CS:GO.

Community members here escalated this to LG on their message board but seemed to have abandoned the original investigation into the issue.

I just purchased a new monitor and it's clear that the issues do NOT come from my GPU.

Thought I'd save you the frustrations and money wasted if you buy the LG. I don't want someone else to have the same experience I did.
