Sorry in advance but for some reason the [H] is semi-blocked at my office so I wont be able to respond to helpful responses/questions in a timely manner.
So I've been looking up on a lot of good threads here in the display forum the past 2 months in trying to figure out whats best for my needs. Just as I think I found my answer along comes a new thread or old archived thread that takes everything I've read and turns it upside down.
From what I got, from all that I've read (dont think I'm asking this question without doing my own research please!), IPS monitors are far far superior to TN panels. But at the same time it seems to be a lot of hype and only superior if you're doing photo stuff like photoshop. I plan on gaming, console and pc, along with watching movies and tv shows primarily.
Now everything that I've read points to TN is the way to go but every once in awhile some guy decides to pop in and says, "lawl IPS is still far far better even in the domain that TN is supposed to be best at".
So my question is which is it? Money's not a problem or of much of a concern. I just want to make sure that if I spend 400 bucks that its 400 bucks well spent in the right place.
Also I've never used a ips monitor, I have 2 asus 24 incers that I use in my office and a LG 24inch montior I use at home. All of which are TN. And this isnt like a, "I'm going to go out and buy this within the week" type purchase. Wont be buying until I'm back stateside in november, so if theres anything good on the horizon by all means let me know.
And preferrably in the 24inch variety as it'll probably be paired up with the LG monitor and I'll be buying 2 of em and my desk can only fit 3 24inchers.
Thanks in advance, I think I just about covered all my bases.
