[Even though this is not a gaming monitor, I gamed on it for years with no issues. If you value image quality and colour accuracy above refresh rate, it doesn't get much better than an Ultrasharp]

If you have something interesting to trade [that is not a monitor or graphics card], give it a shot. :giggle:

Oh it gets much better :p
ASUS PB248Q. None of that awful coating Dell used on the Ultrasharp series. Though I rather suspect I'm the only one in SA, possibly the whole world that had (has) one.

I agree though at 60Hz MS doesn't matter in the slightest and colour accuracy and consistency will crush the experience on any other 60-75Hz monitor.



Anyways. @lowracer 16:10 professional IPS - Go.

There's something to be said for fast refresh rates, just don't make the mistake of having a TN and IPS panel next to each other. It triggers my OCD like a mofo :ROFLMAO: Which is why I'm getting the Asus PG348Q

I did. LG 24GM77, which is one of the best 24" TNs, or at least was, next to the PB248Q I mentioned and I was miserable. Even the Quantum Dot VA CFG70 didn't fare much better next to the IPS. So now I've got the PG279Q next to a VA instead.
