I broke my Asus VW246H monitor recently, a monitor I was very happy with. I do a lot more photo editing than I used to though, so the appeal of consistent colors and other advantages of IPS monitors appeal to me.
When I last bought a monitor, IPS monitors were generally too slow to be suitable for gaming, and generally out of my budget. But recently there've been some affordable IPS panels like the Asus VS239H-P and Dell U2312HM that are said to be pretty suitable for gaming.
Are these monitors good for gaming? The dell is supposed to have incredibly low input lag, but what about reactivity? Does it feel as smooth as a fast TN panel?
Are these monitors crippled in some way compared to other IPS monitors that are more expensive?
Between the two, which would you choose for primarily gaming? Or if neither, any other IPS gaming panel under $250?
Or should I stick to TN panels?
