Need new monitors

Hello all,

 

I'm looking for monitor recommendations for my brother and I. First off, we are both gamers and enjoy playing a variety of games. I am currently playing games like GW2, FFXIV, and Skyrim whereas my brother is playing CS:GO and Dota2. From my knowledge, I would be happier with and IPS panel while gaming at ~60 FPS whereas my brother wants to have a 144Hz/120 FPS setup (probably TN panel). Can anyone recommend monitors that would fit our specific needs, preferably each under $200 USD (Total Budget $400 USD)

 

Edit: Yes we want different monitors, no we're not going to swap monitors >.>

There aren't any 120hz monitors for that cheap, if there were I would be all over them. XL2420z is good for any game. http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2420Z-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Professional/dp/B00HE61SOA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400774608&sr=8-1&keywords=2420z

good TN panels are only bad for photo and video editing.
