Monitor Advice

[Scarymonkeys]

So I've decided on getting a secondary monitor due to how much multi-tasking I do. I was curious as to if you could recommend me some good monitors?

Needs:

16:9 Aspect Ratio

Preferably 1920x1080

Wants:

IPS

My current main monitor which is the Acer 1680x1050 P221w 60Hz would become a secondary. It's LCD, so would an IPS panel go alright with it? My brother has the same monitor so I'm going to test out how my eyes do with the two different monitors first. If it doesn't fare well, then I'll give my brother an upgrade and take his P221w as a secondary .

My GPU is a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 960 2GB. I would think it'd be okay as I'm only using the second one for files and whenever I record I'll have things opened up over in there. It'll also be nice for Gimp/Photoshop work and Blender (Getting into some heavier work.) as well. I would use the 1920x1080 monitor only for gaming.

Dell Ultrasharp U2414H is pretty nice, got nice colors, looks amazing, thin bezel.

As an owner of a Dell Ultrasharp U2414H I highly recommend it. It's great quality and looks awesome, although it's a little pricey.

 

Alternatively the Asus MX239H is a less expensive option. My friend has one and it's a good monitor for the money. The construction is not quite as good as the Dell and the connectivity options aren't as good, but it's still a great monitor.

They're a bit out of budget but I really like the looks of the Dell. Would the Asus be the same picture? I want something sharp and colorful. How's this monitor? http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16824260109

Looks like a decent IPS. Some complaints about quality control and returns, but that's the norm for any product. If the Asus is too much for you then you will probably be fine with the Dell S2340M.

Alright. Either going to get the Dell S2340M or the Asus.
