hey guys I'm a newb. I looked at the basic TN/IPS... page and need some practical advice from the pros.
I need to purchase a monitor to use it at my office for mainly looking at word docs, pdfs and maybe even some CAD files. I will not be doing any gaming and hardly any media other than simple graphics. The monitors has to be big enough so I can view two documents side by side so I think a 24-27 range is a fair estimate. I guess IPS or SIPS is what I gleaned from my research, to be the reasonable option. Since I will be doing lot of viewing on the monitor day in and day out I need something that is not going to strain my eyes, and has to be reliable. I don't care about brands and I hear some Korean models use the Apple studio monitors so I would be inclined to consider them since Apple monitors seem to have a more crisp quality to them.
My constraints are that I am using a laptop and my budget is between $200-$300.
Anyways I've been looking at the following models and any advice would be appreciated.
