So i got my build all setup and stuff and ive been using my Brother's TV for gaming (Yeah i know it sucks but i didnt have any monitor to set it up with)
Now i am thinking of buying a monitor in the reasonable price range (Dont want somethign over 200 euros unless its Chuck norris' level of amazement) i have been looking at monitors and stuff and my local retailers have good IPS and TN monitors from samsung and HP on display, and i might even be able to get an Asus one, thinking of a 20-24' one
My doubts are:
-What are the difference between IPS and TN? Gaming wise, i dont care about using CAD, sony vegas or any photo editing i just want something for gaming, something that will run games well.
.I have heard about input lagg on IPS monitors being bigger than on TN, can someone please explain what this is? and if its really that big a deal?
-Heard IPS have better colors and TN have fasters speeds but i will be running @1080p and all i want is a 60hz monitor so is the TN's speed relevant here?
-I am not sure this matters but i am used to a laptop (I have a Sony Vaio one)
-Can someone also tell me some things to look at when buying these monitors?
thanks for all your help
i know a lot about GPU's and CPU's and all that but monitors are a mistery to me
my build is in my profile description
