Hello,
(couldn't find the appropriate sub-forum, so I put it in graphics cards =/)
Just a quick question. I am looking for a second monitor to compliment my Acer H233H that I will be using as a secondary screen as it is pretty old by today's standards. I have found 2 screens at my local retailer that I am debating between and I'm not sure what to pick.
On one side I have the BenQ GW2450HM 24 inch VA display for 183$ after tax:

On the other I have the ASUS MX239H 23 inch IPS display for 245$ after tax:

I'm simply looking for a decent quality display in terms of colors and contrast for mostly general use and gaming. I heard that the IPS screens offer a better color quality but suffer in gaming, and is it worth the extra 60$?

Thanks
