I appreciate the replies and shared experiences.
I fly VR mainly in DCS and use my LG C9 when I want to screen fly, however that TV is across the room and presents a few logistical challenges when I do..
It would be nice to have a large screen on my desk to use DCS from when I didn't want to use VR hence my questions about the Acer and Asus 43" VA panels.
I've read the reviews and looked at the common complaints on the two displays. I did get to see the Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ at my local Microcenter. Nice size, I didn't not see issues with blurry text while I fiddled with it but without getting to run any games on it, specifically DCS I couldn't look into the ghosting issues that many reviewers mention.
