Thanks for the response. Sorry I meant under $400 for each. The monitor looks pretty good but yes the budget is higher.
Thanks
What exactly are you looking for in an ideal gaming monitor for $400 at most?
Basically, you will be able to buy a monitor with either an e-IPS panel or a TN panel, and either LED backlight or the more traditional CCFL (Florescent) backlight.
e-IPS panels:
+ Better viewing angles and less color shifting than TN panels
+ Fewer color banding issues than TN panels
+ Competitively priced against TN panels
- Slower response times of 8ms
TN panels:
+ Basically more affordable
+ Fast response times as low as 2ms
+ Generally lower input lag
+ Preferred by most gamers
- Narrow viewing angles which affects color shifting
- Higher chances of color banding issues when displaying fine color gradients.
LED backlight:
+ Uses less power
+ Thinner lighter monitor
- Edge lit which means higher chances of poor backlight uniformity
- Some LED backlight monitors have bluish color tones. This is due to using blue LEDs with yellowish phosphorous coating to imitate white
CCFL Backlight:
+ Full array backlight; backlight spans the entire back of the panel. Generally means better backlight uniformity compared to LED backlight, but can still suffer from backlight uniformity issues
- Consumes more power than LED backlight
- Heavier than LED backlight monitors
