200$ is too low for an IPS panel.. heck even a reasonable TN panel, you want at least 300$.

Ummm what 

 

There are plenty of good 24" IPS panels for $200 or less.

What are you saying... there's lots of decent 1080p IPS panels for $200 or less..... This isn't a professional CAD designer looking for a 5K panel, just casual 1080p gaming.

 

Even my S24D590HL I got for $120 in Canada where monitor prices aren't excellent.

If you call that decent, then ok. I call that budget.

Ya I live in Canada also, so could you help me out?

Some people call Nissan GT-R's "budget".... I think a fair other part of the world's population would call it quite expensive.

If you live in BC, Alberta, or Sask then this is a great deal http://www.visions.ca/catalogue/category/Details.aspx?categoryId=450&productId=25813&sku=LS24D590PL

 

Otherwise

Here is what I call decent:

-> Non glossy panel.

-> Non glossy plastic enclosure anywhere.

-> Low back light bleeding (a small corner or something the worst you can get).

-> Fully adjustable stand using a metal mechanical system (although they no longer use plastic where they simply use friction/tension to hold it, where it fails if you adjust it too much, since many years now. But I like to mention it, just in case someone decides to bring it back as a great idea).

-> Has DisplayPort and DVI as minimum to cover current and next gen hardware.

-> Does not use HDMI exclusively (or HDMI and VGA only)

-> Has more than 1 year warranty

-> Has a good dead pixel and bright/stuck pixel policy. If it's filled with conditions such as zones and distance, or stuff like "0 bright/stuck policy!!!.... but only for the first 30 days of purchase" type of thing.. I am looking at you AOC, then no good.

-> Has decent or better after sale service for warranty replacement/RMA

That is a decent monitor. It has all the core essentials of being able to use your computer comfortably and enjoy your system. Nothing fancy as you can clearly see. Most office monitors, fit that (of course, adapted to year of purchase. If it is old before DisplayPort was wide spread, then obviously you can assume it has DVI instead).

High-end, which is in term of consumer grade monitors, are the same as above, but you add:

-> True 8-bit panel or better.

-> Color processor and Look up table.

-> Has a profile or the monitor is somewhat close to color accurate. Not too over saturated, no washed out, just decently right (most, if not all, are. The bonus is that some manufactures like ASUS and Dell include manufacture calibrated color profile(s). Quick calibration, but get you a great out of the box experience, and if you are doing professional work where you need color accuracy, you would have a color calibrator in hand in any case, and probably be on the professional grade monitor spectrum of monitor to start with)

-> Lots of inputs.

-> Fine tuning monitor color adjustment such as Saturation, Hue, Offset, and Gain color for Red, Green, and Blue channel. Better yet, add: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow control in addition.

-> Absolute minimal to 0 back light bleeding.

-> GB-LED or high-grade CFL or RGB LED back light technology

-> No PWM backlight driven monitor.

-> Better backlight uniformity.

As you can see, the high-end range include what many can see as luxurious features. It improves your viewing experience with better colors, minimal to no back light bleeding, lots of inputs for connecting all sorts of devices (say your game console as well as your PC). It is more than the essentials for simply having a monitor that you can sit comfortably on your desk and enjoy.

The OP said "good", which I interpret as "decent" by the context of this forum ("good" in a professional photographer oriented forum, would have a different definition as you can imagine).

As opposed to interpreting it as "decent" by the context of the OP's budget in which would have resulted in a much more useful answer, like the people above you provided, rather then a wall of text that doesn't help answer the OP's question.

 

If someone asks for a V6 car for less then $30K, saying that "30K is too low for a V6, a decent one will cost $50k+" may be true, but that does not mean that there are still options under $30K that many people, including the person asking, would be happy with.

I am pretty sure he wants it under $200... really.

 

Your knowledge of panel quality is really good, where your knowledge of pertinent advice is "budget".

Telling a person that that he will get something good for when the money shows that it impossible and lie about it, that is inexcusable.

Educating the OP is better. He or She may want to reconsider their purchase and get something that will far more enjoy, potentially, or if not, simply say, "No it's ok I want something basic".

I don't go "This rusted Lada is a Porch! Just as good! Look, it has 4 wheels! And 4 doors!!!! Don't touch the doors, they'll fall off! Great buy! Very good!" NO! And if you do, shame on you.

I was asked to elaborate, on I did, hence the wall of text. Simple as that.

I care about the user satisfaction in their PC, I want people to be very happy with their system. I like to inform reality on what they are getting for their amount of money.

I don't build 300$ computers, I don't recommend 30$ PSUs because someone says "I have 30$, I want a PSU, can you get something good", I don't say, here this gray unknown name box that sounds like jet plane reactor and white smoke comes out at times, is "good". If you do, ok. I don't.

Well you have to travel 100 km.  You can buy the Lada, but not the Porsche.  OP gets there in under two hours, and you get blisters on your feet.

That isn't what we are suggesting. He isn't asking for a $50 IPS, he's asking for a <$200 IPS. I'm sitting in front of one that I linked for $160, albeit a PLS, it's still a very nice monitor and a good step into IPS/PLS panels if upgrading from a TN, and it makes a very big improvement. Chances are for the price there's other IPS panels that are even better.

 

This isn't saying that we're recommending him shit, this is "A Lexus RX350 is very nice and has lots of features that will make you appreciate having it, but since your budget can't afford one, a Dodge Journey is a good choice that you would be able to afford and a great upgrade if you've never had a mid-range crossover with a V6 before".

I didn't say that he can't get a nice budget monitor. He said he wanted a good monitor. For 200$ you are not getting a good monitor.

Big difference. And the OP has not corrected or added any clarification at the moment of posting, which suggest that he genuinely wanted a good monitor.

You are the only one that does not understand the OP.

 

You could have said:  "At the $200 mark, there are a handful of worthwhile IPS monitors, but if you really want to look into grabbing something decent you might want to save "X" amount of dollars... that's is where you can really start enjoying your experience in front of an IPS."

[GoodBytes]

I understood the OP perfectly. I don't assume things.

But yes, I should have said that.
