Go for option 1, its the best in terms of picture quality.

 

However if you really want the big screen size I guess you have to give up ips and go for option 3 in that price range.

Hi forum, I have been meaning to upgrade my old monitor to a 1080p display. I got some extra money to spend on a monitor. Like the title says this will be my first. I was looking at some monitors 1, 2, and 3. The thing is I don't which will be best for the price. That's why I'm here. Which will look the best and what makes an IPS monitor different from the others? Thanks for any help and have a nice day or night.

 

(Link any other options under 150 USD that are available at best buy, have some gift cards)

CPU-- AMD FX-8320 (Stock), Motherboard-- ASUS M5A99FX PRO R 2.0, RAM-- Team 8gb 1600Mhz, GPU-- Sapphire 7870 GHz with OC Edition, Case-- NZXT Tempest 210, PSU-- Corsair CX600m, HDD, 1tb Seagate & 2tb WD External, Monitor-- Dell S2240M IPS Display, Keyboard/Mouse-- Some Logitech keyboard and some Dell mouse, Speakers-- Logitech Z533

IPS gives you better colour reproduction and viewing angles.

 

Also, might I suggest this: http://www.staples.ca/en/Acer-H236HLbid-23-inch-IPS-Monitor/product_353763_2-CA_1_20001?externalize=certona if you're in Canada. I just got it and it looks great!

 

 

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't notice the USD.

Personally I'd choose the option 1 or 3, I've had a cheap Asus monitor, I'd say it looked pretty good, but the glossy bezel and stand just looked obnoxious and theres no tilt. 

 

So the question is, do you want richer colors for a smaller screen size, or do you want a bigger screen size and thin colors. (assuming the 24" is a mva or pva panel)

Does 2.5 inches make a difference, because I would like the size but will IPS make a huge difference?

IPS does actually make a pretty large difference. If there are any computer stores near you, go to an IPS monitor and look at a TN panel. The difference is night and day.

I think it might go with the dell IPS monitor because you guy think it will be the best choice. Thank you for all of your help and have a good day/night
