Hey so as the title says, im in the middle of building my first gaming computer (parts list below) and i need help looking for a good monitor.

 

I have ZERO idea on display technology and am way lost lol. Ive watched the fast-as-possibles that Linus did and am stil lost. 

 

So my question is whats a good monitor thats well under $120USD (i just lost my job and dont have a chancce to burn lots of money), preferable 22+in and around 1080p. Though i dont mind if it has a slightly lower res but it needs ti be below $125USD but i would much prefer it to be below $100USD if possible.

 

Side note i do have a VIZO HDTV near where im going to be putting my computer and i have an extra HDMI cord would that work in a pinch? Id rater get the monitor but hey it it works lol.

Whats the difference between IPS and TN?

the quality of the colors

 

IPS has better color reproduction than TN

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
