so...guys... I was wondering if there are any good, less than 10ms response time, under ~150$ monitors, plus what is better VA or TN or IPS at this price range...? and I would like 120Hz, but they would probably cost around 200 bucks... so yeah... any suggestions are appreciated, as I'm utterly confused about it... also I'm going to be using either a R7 260X or R9 270X with it, so consider cable and power compatibility at 550 W corsair CS PSU...
Thanks  :D

Get IPS, AH-IPS or whatever says IPS for the price, but if you find something with IPS for $150 then you should get it. The only reasons for TN is high refresh rates and 3d.

Unless you need high refresh rates and response times (e.g. gaming).

For the average the difference is as follows:

TN panel monitors:

+ Lower response times (2ms)

+ Lower cost (but 120Hz TN panel monitors are more expensive)

- Poor viewing angles which means as you move around while looking at the screen you will notice color shifting.

IPS panel monitors:

+ Better viewing angles

+ Generally better color accuracy but most people are not concerned with color accuracy. LCD monitors need to be calibrated for color accuracy though. This can be done with additional hardware you must buy. Or by simply "eyeballing" / manaul adjustment; not very accurate though.

- A little more expensive than TN panels to a lot more expensive. "IPS" is a general category and not all IPS panels are equal to each other. The same can be said of TN panel as well though.

- Higher response times. Typically the best response time is 5ms vs 2ms for TN panels.

Lower response times generally means less ghosting, but all LCD panels have at least some level of ghosting. It is simply a limitation of LCD panels in general.

Personally, I prefer high-end IPS panel monitors. But if you're on a budget, it all depends on your use and application (as in apply, not app).

Gaming rig:

i5-4670k, H100i, MSI Z97 SLI, Vengeance DDR3-1600 2*4GB, 840 EVO 250GB, Barracuda 1TB, GTX 780 Ti, 450D, CX750, VG248QE

Workstation:

Xeon E3-1231 v3, NH-U14S, Asus Z97-PRO, Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 2*8GB, 840 EVO 250GB, 2*WD Red 2TB (RAID 0), GTX 780 Ti, Define R4, AX760, VS229H-P
