I'm thinking of buying the PA248QV. The price difference between these two is over 100€. I'm not a pro with these things so could someone tell me if there's a big difference in quality between these two? I know there's a size difference.
Pretty much the only differences are size, aspect ratio and resolution. Amazon US has a $10 difference when I googled it. Not too relevant today but one has a VGA port and the other has DVI along with all the HDMI and display ports.

It was posted in post processing. I had the lone reply. Here it is.
I found this one comparing the two. A quick skim shows one has no capability for color adjustments if I read it correctly. https://photographylife.com/reviews/asus-proart-pa278qv#:~:text=ASUS%20makes%20two%20variants%20of%20its%20budget-friendly%20ProArt,well%20as%20the%20panel%20types%20are%20the%20same.

According to a couple of reviews I've read, there is no big difference between the two monitors.
What's most important for photo editing, IMO, is color accuracy.
Both the monitors have near full coverage (95-96%) of the sRGB color space, but their coverage of the Adobe RGB is more limited (74-75%).
These monitors have an sRGB mode that's factory-calibrated. However, according to tests (see here), white balance is off due to the warm color temperature giving the image a reddish tint. Color accuracy, and WB as well, improve significantly after calibration. I would save 100€, get the 24" monitor, and invest in a good calibration tool (e.g. this).
