Yes, backlit monitors are better than the side lit monitors. From your description, the Asus looks better.

Asus is the way to go here. First, because of the backlight - which more equally distributes light - and the MUCH higher contrast ratio.

Never mind for that 1ms - you won't notice it unless you are super-human.

You realise the contrast ratio they have given is worthless right?

As is the choice would be Asus for me given these reviews and that they're around the same price:
