Help me pick between these two monitors.

AOC vs Acer

These are the differences that I've noticed (if this site for comparing monitors is to be trusted, because official sites don't have super detailed specs):

AOCAcer
Brightness300 cd/m²250 cd/m²
Dynamic contrast80.000.000 : 1100.000.000 : 1
HDR/HDR10
Minimum response time (I assume GTG)4 ms2 ms
Whatever this other respons time isResponse time - 1 ms (MPRT - Motion Picture Response Time)Response time - 1 ms (VRB - Virtual Response Boost)
Power consumption (average)22W25W
Connectivity2 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 ,1 x D-sub, 1 x 3.5 mm Audio In ,1 x 3.5 mm Audio Out2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 1 x 3.5 mm Audio Out

It also seems like Acer is 144Hz natively but it's overclockable to 165Hz, while AOC is natively 165Hz, but I'm not sure because it's not very clearly stated.

Acer is a bit pricier, but are those differences worth it?
How good is HDR? Is it worth it, or is it just whatever?
