I have a 400 dollar budget and am looking for a new monitor.
I play a lot of games, but I've done so on a slow TN panel so I can stand some ghosting, just prefer as little input lag as possible.
I also do a lot of graphic design work, and need color fidelity and consistent gamma. For this reason, I'd like to avoid TN panels if at all possible.
I do watch a lot of movies, but my computer controls the upscaling on this, and I don't care if the monitor is bad at upscaling.
Ideally, I want a monitor with consistent colors, relatively low ghosting, and near-zero input lag. I'm also very picky about blacks -- I do watch a lot of movies and play a lot of pretty dark games, so I'd prefer the screen be able to display blacks with minimal backlight bleed or glow.
I hear IPS displays have really bad glow, but that this is only visible from the side? Primarily, I'll be playing straight on, so horizontal viewing angle isn't that important. Can I expect to get an all black screen out of an IPS monitor when looking at it straight on?
PVA monitors seem to exhibit terrible gamma and the darker colors all turn black -- I don't like that.
MVA... I have no idea.
Also, a note on AG coating, I'm okay with it. I play in a well lit room a lot, so it'de probably be best to have some AG.
What monitor should I get?
