Hey guys!

 

So I currently am looking to buy a cheap 1080p monitor, due to my country limitations, the best 3 options I found were this monitors:

 

BenQ GW2270 - VA panel, Matte display, only DVI/VGA ports

Dell S2316M - IPS panel, Glossy display, only DVI/VGA ports

HP 22er - IPS panel, Matte display, only HDMI/VGA ports

 

Now, all of these monitors have a 60Hz refreshing rate, however I found that the Dell one can be overclocked to almost 70Hz. I'm asking for help because I really want to pull the trigger on the Dell one, from what I've heard, Dell has some awesome customer service and guarantee, awesome color calibration and it is 2" bigger, but it does not have an HDMI input, so I'm trying to know if there will be any impact on image and color quality if I have to use an adapter from hdmi/displayport out (from my 1050Ti) to DVI input (the Dell or the BenQ monitors)

 

The only one of them that has an HDMI input is the HP, but I don't really know much about HP monitor quality and I couldn't really find reviews of this monitor specifically. I'll be using this monitors for light gaming (Overwatch, LoL mainly) and design work (I'm an architect/designer) so I figured gaming wasn't a really good reason to buy a faster TN panel, and I preferred the better colors of IPS or VA. All 3 of them are in the same price point for me (around $120) and I can't really wait any longer to save a little more because my current monitor is just not working properly anymore.

 

So what would you guys go for? Do you guys have any other option that you know of for the price range?

Quality should have little to no impact from all the cables as long as you don't use vga 

So, you're saying I should be ok with the Dell one? it doesn't even have speakers so the HDMI isn't that much of a problem also.

I could also get the BenQ, do you know if VA panels are better than IPS ones in color reproduction or contrast?
