Hello guys, I'm looking for two new monitor cause my second monitor died and I want to pick a new setup. I searched for days and I'm going nuts. I'm searching for two monitor that are good with everything, like gaming, video and photo editing. I'm looking for two similar model, maybe one with 120/144hz for gaming, and the other one for the rest. I know that TN panel are better for gaming, but not display very well all the colors. IPS on the other hand does not have high refresh rate. There's something in the market? Just 1080p monitor, maybe the gaming one a 2k max. Both 24", I don't have much space. I have an Asus Strix GTX 1070, so it shouldn't be a problem.

So:

  • Two monitor
  • 1080p/2k
  • Gaming one 120/144hz, the other 60hz
  • 24"
  • Max 500/600€

Thank you guys! Sorry for bad english, I'm from Italy.

Pls list the model names. Different monitors with the same specs can be very different.

 

Nvm, misread the post

I found this:

https://www.amazon.it/Asus-VG248QE-Gaming-Monitor-1920x1080/dp/B00B19T7QC

https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0097I10K0?ref_=ams_ad_dp_ovrl&th=1

https://www.amazon.it/Dell-860-BBEJ-S2415H-Monitore-Argento/dp/B00OMP887G

 

But I have no idea if they are what I'm searching for.

I opted for the Asus VG248QE for the gaming monitor, and the Asus VX24AH or the Asus MX239H for working/everything else.
