    Displayport on the AOC would be quite a big win for me. Shame it doesn't have the height adjustable stand of the 144Hz version.

    I would pick the Iiyama monitor out of the two. I have mainly had Iiyama monitors and love the build quality and reliability. Also Iiyama aftercare service (at least in my experience) has been very good.

    I'm usually an Iiyama fanboy but, like DwU, I'd be inclined towards the AOC for the Displayport.

    If you've picked freesync monitors deliberately, it's worth noting that neither has a wide enough refresh range to benefit from low framerate compensation. That means that vsync will kick in if game frame rates drop below their lower range threshold (~ 48fps for both monitors). May not be an issue, but something worth being aware of.

    I'm not sure about the iiyama but I believe the G2460VQ6 is 35-75hz with the latest driver.

    Still not enough for LFC, but an improvement over 48fps.
