Buying a monitor HELP!

[mavan123]

Right now I have using a tv as my PC monitor. It's time for an upgrade. I have a budget of $250.
I only need 1080p. I just want suggestions on a good quality low response time monitor. THANKS

Which one would you recommend? The asus vg248qe or the IPS mx 27 inch monitor?

it comes down to personal preference and do you have the hardware to run a 144hz display? I mean theirs no point in getting 144hz if you're not going to use it, and really 5ms delay is negligible for me, personally i say 27 inch i like my games to look pretty especially that ips, currently running a 46 inch Sony bravia with 60hz refresh and i don't mind. That said if you got the tech to push the 144hz referesh by all means go for that.

I only have a gtx 960 so I don't think I should go with the asus vg248qe. But what about somthing like the Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor? Is it good? I like the adjustable stand

 

[fudgecakes99]

It has about the same contrast ratio but it has 8ms delay as opposed to 5ms i think thats getting a bit high delay wise, Heres an ips monitor with a swivel, but its about 3 inches smaller.

Also its from 5ms delay to 6ms.

Here's the monitor for the cheapest possible price.

 

[fudgecakes99]

well relatively same price after the rebate i guess whichever site is available in your country of origin.

If you don't care about the swivel the link @Wisecracker sent is really good a 28 inch for the same price as the 27 inch.
