Ah, sorry you need to quote someone for them to know you've replied :)

Depends what you want. Did you want IPS, or faster response? IPS provides better colors.

With that card, and those games I'd probably still go with the U2414H.

I just know that i have bad screen tearing when I play games. Does this U2414H come in bigger than a 24"?

With a different number and greatly increased cost. The U2415H denotes the screen size ;)

Anything larger than 24" with 1080p looks like ass.
