Two different manufacturer dates, identical settings. Which white is the right white or closest to it? lol

That only you can answer, the camera won't capture white balance correctly anyway.

The left is noticeably reddish, but the right one looks kind of pale so it might actually be too cold. Probably neither of them.

What monitors?
 
This is useless as
1) the camera distorts your white
2) my monitor distorts your white.
In the end, what I see may be highly different from what you see.

The solution is a colorimeter (X-Rite i1 Display Pro is great).

Well they are both PB278Qs on the same settings, one manufactured in Dec 14 the other Jan 15 lol. The one on the left looks warm white, the right one looks paper white. I know they would both need calibrating but I am wondering which is the best without it. I am used to a TN so it is hard for me to judge anything.
 
They're both white :)

The one that is best depends on what color temperature you want. Your question can't be answered. What you are basically asking is : "What color temperature looks best?"

Which opens up a whole new can of worms.

I can easily say: RGB at 100, 100, 100=best white. But even THAT won't matter if two monitors have completely different factory presets that you can't access (like individual offsets for the gains, individual color gamma settnigs/hue/saturation (which are basically digital equivalents of analog RGB Gain and Offset, etc...)).

Usually none of this stuff matters unless you are using standard mode or SRGB. Gamer/FPS/RTS and "Splended" modes do weird stuff to the low level settings (have you ever seen the blue channel in RTS preset on a Benq Z/T series?)
