It's a very good fast monitor if that's what you want.

If you want image quality you should get an IPS monitor instead. IPS panels are not as fast as TN but for most people it's not not noticeable.

yes I was looking at an ips one but it's out of budget

any good ones from arc computers or mwave.com.au? I really want to just go pick it up instead of delivery

thankyou, but now Im really confused on which one to pick, the tn one or the LG one from arc. Is ips really worth it? does it make it look that much better? also that one inch seems worth it
 
IPS looks much better. More accurate and vibrant colors. Put an IPS and a TN side by side and the difference will be obvious.

I have my old LG 900p TN monitor beside my new Dell Ultrasharp 23" IPS. It looks like looking through the eyes of some 90 year old dude once you're accustomed to IPS.

The downside to IPS monitors is that they cannot have the responsiveness of a TN panel, but for most people it is not nearly as noticeable as the huge improvement in image quality.

If you play competitive shooter games like Counter Strike then having fast response times will be more important to you.

Thankyou for your help. I will consider the LG one. :) . sorry just one more thing. 23" and 24" are pretty close but is there a noticable difference between the sizes? also do you know that the lg monitor is great or should I look for a few reviews?
 
The only thing noticeable about the extra 1 inch is that the screen will look bigger. But if the resolution is 1080p the amount of stuff you can display on the screen is the same as a 23", just that the image is stretched to fit 24"

Any particular reason for the LG monitor?

Also don't forget to actually take a look at a working monitor at the store before buying. Most stores don't put IPS and TN side by side because the TN would look like sh!te and won't sell. And then also have them test the screen for dead or stuck pixels before leaving the store.

I chose the LG out of the 4 you gave me because I heard they were a reliable brand. AOC seem okay but someone else said LG was better. The ones you gave me at arc are out of stock so would take longer to collect
