Post subject:  IPS Monitor or LED Monitor?

I'm not a professional photographer nor video editor nor graphic designer. I don't work on complex 3D CAD/CAM either. Besides working with MS Office Suite and 2D CAD software, I just play games (e.g. Crysis 2, Dirt 3 etc), listen to my audio collections, watch 720p HD movies/videos and collecting color wallpapers I downloaded from the internet. So, is getting an IPS panel monitor an overkill?

I was searching for a new 23"/24" full HD monitor to replace my old 19" one. So far the only type of monitor I could find that has a Display Port is IPS. They are slightly more expensive than LED monitors. Most LED monitors favor HDMI but my graphic card has six Mini Display Ports. Buying a Mini DP to HDMI adapter seems to be a hassle. Examples of IPS monitors: Asus PA246Q 24.1”, Dell 24'' U2412M UltraSharp & LG 23" IPS236V.

The Dell U2412M is an IPS with an LED backlight, so it covers both of your things!

There are no LED Monitors!

It's either an IPS Panel, or TN or PVA.
Its just LED backlight for more brightness!

Sorry I got confused because here, IPS monitors are marketed as "Premium" or "IPS Panel" monitors. Non-IPS ones are merely referred as LCD/LED monitors.

Depends on your taste and the panel in question. IPS generally have better color that is viewable and consistent across a far wider viewing angle. But response time is lower so some folks notice ghosting in situations like gaming, in addition to there being no 120Hz IPS panels.

So it's a choice between vibrant colors or fast response time.

Anyway, I discovered Samsung S24A65D. It uses MVA panel. Is that good for gaming? The sales assistant has no clue.

Anyone has experience with AOC or Viewsonic monitors? Any good monitors from these manufacturers?

Post subject:  I had a set of TN Viewsonics

I had a set of TN Viewsonics as my first monitor set. I dropped them for my current set of Dell IPS displays. It really comes down to the type of games you play and your appreciation for visuals. If you're a gamer that plays for the game and you want that competitive edge, I'd recommend a 120 Hz of some sort. If you appreciate the modern graphics games have to offer, I'd really recommend the IPS displays for the better color. I went with IPS displays because 120Hz displays are also really expensive. :x
