They look very similar to me. Both have similar customer reviews. Do you need the speakers in the ASUS? Unless one has a feature or something you'd especially want, I'd let price decide, whichever you can get cheaper. Personally I always like to try and see a monitor working myself before buying, even if I go to a store then end up buying the same thing online... monitors can be very personal as to what you like or prefer, so if you can, I'd do that before buying.
