Like the title says, I'm looking for a new monitor with a budget of $150 to replace my old Acer AL2216W monitor that I've used for years. I built my own pc last fall, and figured it was time to finally get myself a 1080p monitor for games and movies. I don't game competitively, and mostly play indies, jrpgs and older titles. I mostly just want a solid monitor that has good color detail and a crisp display (although anything will probably seem amazing compared to what I'm currently using).
Here's some of the things that I'm looking for in a monitor:
-IPS panel
-Display port or HDMI (seems like most newer monitor come with these anyway)
- 22-24"
I'm still undecided as to whether I want a monitor with glossy or matte finish. I've heard that a glossy finish has better color but also is prone to reflections. I have a couple of lamps in my computer room which could possibly cause some glare so I'm unsure. I've been eyeing these two monitors as well, so if anyone has any experience with them I'd gladly appreciate it:
