The one you've provided is nice.
IPS, 1080p, glossy surface.

Is $229 your budget's limit?

Here's a nice ASUS model, MX279H. Built-in speakers, but its a refurb. So it depends on what you're looking for.

Others on here, may bash an IPS monitor for playing games, as they have slower response times and refresh rates. However, for light gaming, I would consider IPS over TN panels.
