Personally I prefer a IPS panel over a 1MS GTG, do you need that response time for Pro Gaming? because IPS will be more enjoyable overall.

If you don't play games like CS GO professionally, I'd suggest getting an IPS panel.

There are even 2k ultawides at this price range. - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025212

I have heard the ultrawides are shit for gaming because most games don't scale correctly.

Some recent games support them, but ultrawide monitors are gaining popularity so they'll see better support in the future. They are really great for productivity too.

I am trying to stay under $200

not bad, so basically $100 for each monitor (if you want two)

 

Sadly, I may be no help as I am british and only go to websites with amounts in £. I feel so bad that you thought I could help.

BTW, I misread. But you could go with two and get ultra wide. and a second monitor can increase workflow by up to 30%

Any ultrawide around $200 is only 25 inches and therefore only has the vertical height of a 19 inch monitor which is absolute trash for real use.

No, it's such a tiny amount of time it's nearly impossible to tell the difference*.

How can you say that, I still use a 17" monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024. It is 15 years old.

Lol it could be the same height as my two 19 inch 4:3 monitors I already have xD

Yeah, but I'm assuming your two 19 inch monitors are like 1280x1024 so the difference in pixel density and such will make the other two pretty much unusable.

and I'm sorry for you.

Well I've never had anyone apologize for my monitor. I guess I should thank you?

Trust me, if you use a nice 1080p monitor on the daily it's hard to use anything else.

Well, I can only dream. I am a bit annoyed that the only monitor I have is what I stated earlier. Then when my brother wants a pc, He gets a 23" 1600x900 display just for homework use and stuff whereas I am the one that is the PC gamer.
