Pardon me I’m sure this has been asked somewhere...

I have a NVidia 1070 FE and a I7 6700

I’d like to upgrade my current ASUS VG248 (which I was 110% happy with) to a newer 4k monitor

I have a 500.00 budget I’m not looking for anything bigger than 28. actually I’d be happy with a top of the line 24 rather than a bargain bin larger monitor

anyway I have gotten confused so many reviews are a year old or older.. quality control issues leave me scared to lay my hard earned cash down I like ASUS and would like to stick with them but need guidance from those who know better

one thing and you will hate me for this ...I like speakers in my monitor anything on my desk gets knocked over by my cat. And I won’t wear headphones

fiddling around i have come up with Asus MG28UQ or Asus PB287Q the first is $70.00 than the latter but is a new design made in 2016 vs 2014. while i Know the MG=AMD and PB=Nvidia I dont think the Asus PB287Q has G-Sync so it doesnt really matter that ill use a Nvida 1070 card (i think) $419.99 vs $349.99

either is in my budget and ill give this a few days to see if anyone can argue one over the other or something else before I buy

thanks in advance
