Help choosing an IPS Monitor

[fatboyslimerr]

Have to admit this isn't the first "which monitor" thread I've made but I've held off buying a monitor for a few reasons including never making the decisive decision and also still enjoying my laptop 15.6" IPS display.

Firstly have to say I can NOT tolerate the poor viewing angles and colours of a (cheap) TN panel within my budget. I'm looking for a cheap but quality IPS panel with at least one HDMI input (VA panels also accepted).

This will mostly be used for watching movies/tv, web browsing and causal gaming (dragon age, GTA V etc)., definitely not FPS or competitive online gaming. Therefore beautiful crisp colours and great viewing angles are my priority.

The monitors I'm currently deciding between are:

AOC I2369VM

BenQ EW2440L (VA panel)

Asus VS239HV or VX239H-P

Thanks!

I have an Asus ips monitor, the MX239H and it performs looks amazingly well. So those asus IPS monitors should be good also. However you do have to do some color calibration to make then look good.

That monitor is slightly outside my budget and I doubt the VX239H has the same quality panel as yours. Thanks for the info though

Anyone else care to input?

Dell U2414H fully recommended from here. Pre-calibrated, the only thing I do not like, is that it did not include HDMI cables. You get a mini-displayport to full displayport.
Should be around 160£
