24" monitor for gaming & design

[Guest]

Hi, I'm looking for a 24" monitor for editing my photos and gaming, I've got GTX 1060.

any recommendations ?

More specifics are needed I suspect.  As it sits it’s a bit hard.

Design and gaming are at opposite ends of the monitor spectrum.  >8 bit/channel color(10bit? 12 bit?),high color accuracy, factory color calibration or do you need on site calibration too?  That’s for arts work, but also high refresh rate/low latency for gaming.  Gaming has 60hz, 120hz, 144hz, and 240hz.  The 1060 will do 60&120@1080p.  I dunno about 144.  Might be fine.  Not 240.  Design doesn’t even need 60hz.  It can get by fine at 30hz.  The two traditionally are mutually exclusive though lines are blurring and becoming more narrow.  So a do everything 24” monitor.  The 1060 will push 1080p but not more iirc.  Best performing 24” monitor there is I suspect.  Probably IPS.

8bit IPS is enough for my use. even if it's (6bit+frc)

The whole point of IPS is it can do more than 8 bit.  6bit+frc is TN.  If color accuracy isn’t a big deal it sounds like what you want is a gaming monitor and then do some graphics on it.

I didn't find any true 8bit 24" monitor, sure it would be great if there is one.

basically I need :

+60hz ,IPS 8bit ,Any adaptive sync, under 500$

Ah.  The budget emerges.  Sounds like a gaming monitor to me.  I may be out of date though.

I had the same problem and I decided to go with a Dell U2415 because I don't play FPS games. But it doesn't have any adaptive sync, if your photo work is a priority it has a 16:10 display witch is the best thing ever. I don't remember why I didn't go with AOC but they have a simmilar option with FreeSync.
