Hello,
I recently built a new computer from the ground up and even added the GTX 480 Nvidia video card with an i7 processor. To make a long story short ... I now have an amazing rig hooked up to an older 19'' LCD panel.
Just like when I bought my video card I came here for questions and concerns before deciding on which to buy. Now I come again because I cannot decide which monitor is best. I hear all this talk about IPS panels being better and having better color and TN panels being more for the budgeted individual but still being good for gaming. I have yet to know the main difference between the two and a comparison/contrast that would explain why one is better than the other would be great.
I'm looking for something 25" and above, must have HDMI inputs and of course be 1080p, must be good for gaming (I mainly play WoW so I know that a low ms isn't really that huge), I will primarily be using this for gaming and surfing the net and some movie watching. I basically want something with a big screen that is capable of taking full advantage of my video card.
I don't see myself spending more than $700 for a monitor unless it's something ridiculously amazing. I am hoping to hear some feedback with any monitors that fit these specifications. I'm wondering if it's worth dishing an extra $300 just because it's an IPS panel.
I have narrowed it down to a few but if there are better ones out there please let me know:

These are just a few to mention any others you guys can think of for my description of needs ect would be great.
Let me know
