(Sorry for posting again in this subforum, seems this one is more visited than the graphics/displays one)
Heya all,
I realize I could spend some time to search forums etc.. But unfortunately I find myself in a time constraint. I need to go buy a monitor in the next 2-3 hours.
Long story short: PC parts arrived a lot sooner than expected, need to build tonight.
From the little I know, there are IPS monitors, and TN monitors.
IPS = crisper image
TN = faster response time.
The monitor will be used almost exclusively for games.
I think a size of 23 inches is good? Or should i get bigger..? Seating distance should be around 40-50cm from the Screen.
What type/brand should I get?
Budget is around 200-250 euros, bare in mind this is in Greece, so if you're in the US, price should be the same but in USD (not converted, i.e. 200-250 USD) since electronics are 30-40% more expensive here.
Last week had a quick view of monitors at the shop, and the dude there was adamant about one particular monitor, LG frameless, i think it was this one: http://www.e-shop.gr/product?id=PER.169837
Any advice is much appreciated!

The shop does not have Asus here if you wanted to propose the pb238q (which is available only via international order and would cost me 500$ ttl here)
The shop has LG, Samsung, and AOC.
