I need a monitor for my build but i'm not sure if I should go IPS or TN? 144Hz or 60Hz? How many ms??

I'm looking for 24" (23" just a bit too small and 27" too big) willing to spend up to £300 if it's worth it!

Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Extreme 6
Processor: Intel i5 4760k
GPU: Toxic R9 280x
SSD: Samsung Evo 840 250GB
RAM: 8GB Kingston Hyperx genesis (2x4GB)
Cooler: Phantek PHTC14PE
PSU: XFX XXX 650w

Cheers all :)

what is the primary use of the monitor going to be? If you are going to be doing allot of gaming i would suggest the ASUS VG248QE, 144hz 1ms GTG, with super low input lag. BenQ also has a great 144hz monitor the XL2420Z, depending of your area that can be cheaper than the VG248QE. both are great for gaming.

If you do allot of photo editing then there are many good IPS panels to choose from. IPS only supports 60hz refresh...

If you do allot of photo editing then there are many good IPS panels to choose from. IPS only supports 60hz refresh right now, and they tend to have 5-8ms GTG that can cause some ghosting when gaming, they also have higher input lag if you are playing a lot of FPS type games. But they will still get the job done.
