Dudes and Dudettes (who am I kidding, just dudes here),
My 24inch 5 year old Dell (2405?) has a huge yellow center sitting in the middle top half. It is a hot, dying, ugly beast at this point. I loved it until the past week of staring at this off white center. It was a bit laggy, which I tolerated but hated.
Time for a replacement. IPS is all of the rage, but I honestly am not that huge into photo/video editing, and I mostly browse the web and play FPS games. My office is SMALL, and the thought of LED backlighting to keep this room from heating up so bad seems nice (I can feel the Dell heating the room).
I don't have any serious budget (would like to keep it under $500 if possible), but the cheaper the better (more around $300ish would be an easier sell to the wife).
Help me out. Honestly researching LCD's is about 1000x harder than anything else related to hardware. My head is spinning.
