Sup folks,

I'm looking to give my aging LG E2240 a friend to hold hands with so it doesn't sit on my desk lonely as **** for the foreseeable future.

Problem is that I'm a tight bastard and honestly can't make my mind up where to go monitor wise. Ideally I'm looking for a monitor anywhere between £100-200 but have a few questions.

1) IPS - Is it worth it? Should I care? Should I just be looking at teh low ms?

2) 120hz - Anyone sporting a fairly cheap 120hz monitor they'd recommend? Obviously the high end BenQ is beautiful, but it's a touch too expensive. Should I even care about 120hz?

-----------------------------

Monitors I've seen so far:

Any help would be much loved.

tl;dr Sparky wants a new monitor but is being cheap about it.

you say 100/200 that benQ is £234 isn't there anyone willing to give you the extra for the benQ i really want that monitor aswell so nice

Would be already pushing the budget a lot to get that lower end BenQ unfortunately. Have to agree though, the XL2420T is a beauty.

I'm not 100% sure if i'm correct but IPS monitors are mainly for Graphics/Web and Video development i think.

is right, unless you're going to be using it for pro gfx/vid editing/production, IPS would be a waste, especially considering how expensive some of the IPS-specific monitors are.

If I were you, I'd sell your wheel chair and go for the BenQ, just my view though.

120 is a really good monitor from what I read and the difference is noticeable to a certain degree. Like said previous I would sell your old monitor to make up the difference and go for the £234 one, either that or sell yourself a few times, in saying that you would have to sleep with 68 people willing to part with 50p...

 Cakey*
You're kidding right?

 Sparky
is a £20 per hour kind of guy.

benq 2411t is much better and it is 144hz and faster ms and cheaper then the 2420t

I got the XL2420T and its a very good monitor defo worth the extra money

Cheers for the feedback folks, appreciate it.

Looks like I'm going to have to be a slut and find the money for the XL2411T.

I'll buy you for a week.
