I'm doing a CGI & Digital Effects course at Uni and I think I have most things set but I have no idea what Monitor to buy. I'm going to start off with 1 monitor and VGA one until I can buy another one. There are so many different monitors I really don't know what to buy, IPS are good but not for gaming I heard.
My budget is about £150-200 but obviously cheaper the better but I'm willing to spend the full amount if the monitor is worth it.
