After the recent theft of my belongings I'm looking at buying replacement LCD monitors. Previously (2012) I had settled on U2412M 24" LCD monitors as the best choice for my purposes (programming, Photoshop, After Effects, 3DS Max and the occasional gaming, mostly).
Looking at the currently available 24" monitors I see some new Asus PA, HP and NEC monitors among others, but in addition to being generally a 100 Euro more expensive than the U2412M they don't seem to offer much over the latter. USB 3.0 is nice, but since one generally uses the built-in hub for keyboard and mouse, it's not a requirement. The IPS panels themselves are roughly the same too. The 'coarse' AG coating on the U2412M doesn't seem to bother me.
Considering the low price of the U2412M (~250 Euro), is it still the best deal, even when compared to ~350 Euro IPS 16:10 monitors?
Thanks
