Hi Everyone,
I know I'm new but I've been a reader for quite a whole, my old monitor just bit the dust and am in the market for a new one but cant seem to find 'the one'. Ive been reading reviews and "best lists" for the pat 2 days and my eyes are starting to bleed. I was hoping someone here could maybe help me pick the right one based on my needs, maybe theres some new monitors out that arent in the lists yet which I haven't come accross, atleast I hope so because every one I've seen has a really undesirable flaw so far.
First about me, I have really bad eyes so I tend to sit very close to the monitor, I also need a very bright display so atleast 300cdm2. Since I sit so close I dont want anything where I'm going to see pixels or a really bad AG coating. Unfortunately it seems that the standard for monitors has basically made them into TVs and everything is only 1080 now the 1440's being prohibitively expensive.
Im an avid gamer but also a graphic artist so I think I'm leaning towards an IPS display though would consider a really well executed TN that has comparable color and contrast.
My budget is right around $300, I really cant spend much more then that so I need to find something that meets my needs within that price.
As for size, 24" and above would be all I'd consider, I had a 23" and was finding that was getting small with my bad eyes.
The Asus PA248Q was a strong contender till I read on here that is has terrible light bleed and very inconsistent temperature plus a AG coating (same with the U2412M as far as the AG goes), having to sit really close the AG would probably get annoying so I would prefer a semi-gloss or just plain matte.
The Viewsonic VX2753 looked promising too but it reportedly has low text qualit so thats a bit of a deal breaker, plus a 27" display at only 1080 I think might have very noticable pixels.
Are there any other monitors that might suit my needs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
