Hello,
I'm trying to buy a new monitor for my PC because my old one isn't working anymore, and there are two monitors i cant decide between them because one is 24 inch and the other one is 25 inch, but the 25 inch is an ips monitor and i dont know what is ips here are the links for the two monitors that i want to buy:

2. https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/lg-24-inch-ultrawide-led-monitor-25um58-11099377/i/#specs

could you guys tell me which one is better?

thank you

They are both 25" LED-lit IPS monitors. The 24 is a typo.

25" is a very small size for an ultrawide though, I don't really recommend it.

LED backlighting is standard, pretty much any monitor you find will be an LED backlit display.

but you still havent answered my question about the ips, what does it mean? and is it different than the led?

and could you please tell me why you dont recommend me buying that monitor?

IPS is not better or worse than LED, as they are totally separate things.

IPS is a type of LCD panel which provides better color and doesn't distort at angles compared to a typical TN LCD panel.

LED is the type of illumination used to provide light for the LCD panel, compared to older LCD displays which used CCFL (fluorescent) lighting.

Both of those monitors have IPS panels and LED backlights.

I don't recommend them because 25 inches is very small for an ultrawide. At wider aspect ratios monitor sizes aren't as large as they sound.

Here is a 25-inch ultrawide (21:9) compared to a 25-inch standard widescreen (16:9):
