Hello everyone I am having hard time on finding best 24" IPS gaming monitor. Before you tell me that IPS are not for gaming let me stop you right here and explain.
I am aware that TN's have advantage due to refresh rate, input lag, responds time and light-boost that makes an astronomical difference in performance for games. However, I am thinking to settle on IPS because equally important I use it for university work (AutoCAD/Pro Engineer drawings, Photoshop and After Effects) and to watch movies. Although primarily I intend to use it for gaming I am having hard time justifying why non professional like me would need TN especially that I play only few FPS and more MMO/RPG sacrificing the color and angle view.
Bottom line is, I am looking for balance between good monitor for gaming that non professional however someone who plays a lot of CSS would be satisfied and decent screen for university work / Movies.
I am still debating whether to go for Asus VG248QE (that can be found for only $280 which is £182 compared to UK £290 price, however it may cause problems with transport and warranty) or BenQ XL2411T (around £230) or stick to the inital thought and go for good (for my budget that is) IPS monitor and getting a balance between gaming and university work/Movies.
My budget is: £200 ($305) but I would probably find extra £30 if its good value for money.
