So I have read a lot of forums and articles and checked lots of prices and I am at a loss, I still don't know what I should buy. I like the ASUS monitors, currently have HP ones (not sure if they are IPS or not, freebies from a friend), have had back luck with Dells, so yeah. Any suggestions?

I am a photographer and do minor video editing. Although, I do play lots of games on my down time.

What I want:
Size: 23-24" max, nothing bigger, I run dual monitors so size is important.
Type: IPS; I am pretty sure I would need IPS
Res: 16:9 1080p; 1440p will probably be to much for my GPU to handle during gaming.
Port: DVI; DVI + HDMI would be nice, but DVI is most important.
Refresh: I am not too picky here, but I would like 60hz.
Price: under $300, would be happy for something around $250.

I have the perfect one on newegg, but I read an article saying its not good for photographers or graphic designers, and later found out they are not IPS. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313)
