Philips 272G5DYEB
Review by Les Numeriques
Review by PC Monitors
Matte 1920x1080 144hz TN panel with Nvidia G-Sync and back-light strobing.
Philips 328C7Q
Review by Playwares
The Philips 328C7Q uses a 32" curved 1920x1080 8 bit matte 144hz VA panel with AMD Free-Sync and a perceived black depth increasing dark matte grey bezel.
Philips 278M6
Review by IT Hardware PL
Curved, matte, 1920x1080, 165hz, fully adjust-able and semi-wide gamut (120% sRGB or 20% sRGB over-saturation) 165hz VA panel with back-light strobing (1ms MPRT), a height adjustable stand, AMD Free-Sync (60-165hz Free-Sync range), Displayport, 2x HDMI 2.0, VGA 3.5mm Audio Out. The Philips is nearly perfectly accurate out of the box (especially for a budget panel), negligible input lag (2-4ms measured with the SMT Tool), and well balanced overdrive (Faster Response Time Setting).
Philips 272M Gaming
Review by Playwares
Matte, 1920x1080, 144hz, IPS panel with AMD Free-Sync, back-light strobing (MPRT), Displayport, HDMI, VGA and 3.5mm Audio Out. The Philips has up to 1400:1 contrast which is 30-40% higher than most AHVA/IPS/PLS panels, accurate but slightly too high (2.29 average) preset gamma, and a semi-wide gamut panel which over-saturates SDR (HDTV/REC 709 & sRGB) color by 25%, but does not under-saturate any colors. The 272M has negligible input lag (2-3ms) and the overdrive is controlled by the Smart Response menu setting and performs best when set to the third setting which provides fast pixel response times and minimal overshoot on par with the AOC 27G2.

Qnix
Qnix QX2414 Multi
Matte 1920x1080 144hz TN panel with Nvidia G-Sync and back-light strobing.
Review by Playwares
The Qnix has excellent color presets, fasts pixel response times and built in targeting sights which can be easily enabled and disabled with a button on the front. The Qnix can not be easily returned and exchanged and lacks a real warranty which makes the low price (220$ US versus 250-300$ for the LG 24GM77 and Viewsonic XG2401) only slightly attractive.

The Samsung C24FG73 uses a VA panel with much higher contrast, more vibrant and even colors, less bleed and glow than AHVA/IPS/PLS, and vastly superior image quality compared to all TN panels but it does suffer from horizontal VA gamma shift, slight black crush in the center, more overshoot ghosting and less sharp text than TN panels. C24FG70's made before November 2016 suffer from very obvious purple overshoot ghosting when displaying some colors while the newer C24FG73 has a higher chance of coming with the overshoot ghosting reducing firmware (Source=Lims Cave). The Samsung uses a semi-wide gamut VA panel with 25% over-saturation (125% sRGB), but it has an sRGB mode which prevents the over-saturation and does not de-saturate the colors.
Units made before November 2016 suffer from purple overdrive artifacts (overshoot ghosting) while units made after suffer from more black, grown and grey color streaking, but it's very minor and will likely only bother the most experienced 144hz monitor owners.
Samsung S25HG50FQI
Matte 1920x1080 144hz TN panel with AMD Free-Sync and back-light strobing.
Review by Alexander Gryzhin (=DEAD=)
Review by Lims Cave (YouTube)
Low sRGB color space coverage (89% before calibration and 91% after calibration) an obviously grainy/sparkly matte coating when viewing light colors and white, and a 600hz LED PWM Dimming frequency when the brightness is set below 20% (measures 172cdm/2).
Samsung C24FG73
Review by Lim's Cave (YouTube)
Curved matte 1080p 144hz VA panel with AMD Free-Sync, back-light strobing and a perceived black depth increasing matte grey bezel. Use the sRGB mode to prevent color over-saturation.
Samsung C27FG73
Measurements and Review by Belgium Hardware
Very accurate (aside from a minor preset green tint) curved matte 1080p 144hz VA panel with AMD Free-Sync, back-light strobing and a perceived black depth increasing matte grey bezel. Use the sRGB mode to prevent color over-saturation.

The Viewsonic XG2401 has a 48-144hz AMD Free-Sync range, a perceived black depth increasing matte grey bezel, and great preset color accuracy once switched from the default Standard mode to the User mode.
Viewsonic XG3202

Viewsonic XG2402
Measurements by Magical Chicken (significantly more accurate than the unit I tested)
Review by NCX (least accurate but >900:1 contrast)
Review by PC Monitors (low contrast)
Review by Rtings
The Viewsonic XG2402 has a non-linear gamma curve and a perceived black depth decreasing black bezel vs the predecessor, the XG2401's high quality matte grey bezel.
Viewsonic VX2458-mhd
Review by NCX
Review by PRAD
The Viewsonic uses a very accurate matte 144hz 1080p AUO TN panel with AMD Free-Sync (48-144hz range) with Displayport (48-144hz Free-Sync range), 2x HDMI (48-120hz Free-Sync range) and 3.5mm Audio Out. Set the Response Time to Ultra Fast to speed up the pixel response times without obvious overshoot ghosting. The VX2458-mhd's Ultra Fast Response Time setting offers superior overdrive to the XG240R PRAD tested: VX2458-mhd versus XG240R's best overdrive setting which is the Faster setting.

Review by Tom's Hardware (skewed gamma)
Review by Trusted Reviews
Fully adjust-able matte 144hz 1920x1080 AUO TN panel with AMD Free-Sync (48-144hz), Displayport, 2x HDMI (48-120hz Free-Sync), 2x USB 3.0, and 3.5mm Audio Out.
The XG240R has accurate 60hz color presets, but the XG240R PC Monitors tested suffered from a significant gamma drop (60hz 2.3 to 1.9 at 144hz), and loss of color and shade accuracy and vibrancy when set to 144hz. Setting the Gamma to 2.6, and setting the Gaming Settings to Custom 1 and 2 (best) improve the 144hz gamma. The XG240R can't fully cover the SDR (HDTV/REC 709 & sRGB) color spaces, and has slightly worse overdrive than the cheaper VX2458-mhd. The VX2458-mhd's Ultra Fast Response Time setting offers superior overdrive to the XG240R PRAD tested: VX2458-mhd versus XG240R's best overdrive setting which is the Faster setting.
