I'm looking for a 23 - 24 inch monitor for use in movie watching, some light coding and maybe some light gaming in the future.

The Dell Ultrasharp line looked really interesting because I use a Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP at my work. But these monitors bought new are much too expensive for me.

I have found a local used Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP for $200. And a Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP on eBay for $230.

My question is: would it be worth it to buy an used monitor such as the ones listed above or buy a new monitor that is TN panel?

Price range would be up to $250, and I live in Canada. I'm open to all suggestions!

Are there any IPS panels in the sub $250 range? That are of good quality of course.
