I thought i just made my decision to buy an ips panel, but something bothers me. res:1080p, i want to replace my old 17" 1280x1024 one.

I don't play competitive games, except bf4 but i dont care how i perform, i only play for fun. I mostly play(next to bf4) singleplayer games, action-adventure games, no rts.(i prefer story driven games), and i like watching movies too, and i am NOT a content creator.

So in my country prices are pretty high, i cant afford a new 120/144hz display,it is just too expensive. A new, cheap (but good) ips panel is about 150-175$. Second hand a higher refresh rate monitor is at this price point, while a secondhand ips is significantly cheaper(115-125$).

What do you recommend for my gaming needs?
