Asus VS239HV: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GGQFP9S
AOC i2367Fm: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FV2TQAM
Hi all! I'm looking to upgrade a monitor, from a seven-year-old Dell (1680x1050) to one of the budget IPS monitors listed above. I can't extend the budget much further (£120-ish being maximum), but I'd really like to get something more suitable for graphics / artist work as well as light 1080p gaming (Skyrim, DA:I).
From what I can tell - not a monitor expert! - the Asus has better dynamic contrast at the expense of a slightly smaller screen (is the difference between 23" and 23.6" noticeable, for example when drawing A4 portrait?). The Asus is also on offer at the moment, which makes it quite attractive.
Can anybody advise as to which might be the better buy? I'd be particularly interested to know how well the respective monitors last after a year or so.
Thank you very much in advance!
