Compare native refresh, input choice and power requirements for the same screen size.
The decision in brief
How the options differ
Both selected ASUS displays have a 15.6-inch Full HD panel. MB16AHG adds a documented 144 Hz mode and mini-HDMI; MB16ACV is the 60 Hz USB-C starting point. Choose according to the connection your computer can actually drive.

The buying guide
Package and specification details
Refresh rate is a host-dependent capability
The AHG native-mode specification is higher, but it is not a measured claim of lower input lag or better motion quality. Check the operating system, output mode and cable. A host configured at 60 Hz will not gain the advertised higher refresh merely by attaching a different screen.

An extra input changes the setup
AHG lists two USB-C inputs and mini-HDMI. That can suit a computer with a suitable HDMI output, but the monitor still needs power. ACV requires checking the documented USB path, including any software-dependent alternative. A passive connector adapter does not add a display protocol to a charging-only port.

Check the actual US box
The ASUS accessory tables contain regional qualifications. Do not make the decision assuming an unverified cable, adapter or sleeve is included. Both the computer connection and the power arrangement should be complete before comparing convenience. No physical host or screen-quality test was performed for this comparison.

Common questions
Does the higher refresh change resolution?
No. The two selected models both specify 1920 x 1080. Refresh and pixel count are separate dimensions.
