Choosing a monitor: TN, IPS, the whole shabang

[Colin_25]

Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XYssZ8
I am still deciding between TN and IPS. I want to say that I will be getting the Saphire RX 480 Nitro, but will compare the benchmarks to the 1060 when they both release. My budget is ~$250-300.

Here are a couple of models I have considered:
TN: BenQ XL2411Z,
Nixeus NX-VUE24A,
Viewsonic XG2401,
ASUS VG248QE,

IPS: Dell U2415,
Dell U2412M,
ASUS VS24AH-P,
Dell U2515H,
Acer G257HU.

I play a wide variety of games, from LoL to Battlefield to Civ 6. This is my first build so I don't really have anything to compare to, not to mention you can't test games on the monitors in the stores. I'm pretty set on getting both a TN and an IPS to compare and then choosing which one I prefer. If you guys had to pick one from each category (or just one overall), what would you pick?

I can tell you right now that IPS is the new standard, and is what you will end up with.

After that i go with whatever panel is cheapest that offers proper refresh rates.

These companies don't manufacture panels, and in all reality, the actual panels in these monitors could literally be the same. I vote whatever is cheapest at time of purchase in the IPS category.

Do you think the extra $80 is worth going from the Dell U2414 with 1920 x 1200 to the Dell U2515H with 2560 x 1440?

you want the 1440p nothing else unless it is 4k but honestly i would still get the 1440p cause it will be the fastest reaction time and also tailored to the most games now and in the future.

so yes if you are up grading spend the extra $ and get the one that will be most purposeful.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Colin_25 : "Comparing monitors side by side?"

I am having trouble between choosing 144hz or 1440p, so I want to go and buy a TN and an IPS monitor to test them when I build my computer. I imagine that I would be able to hook up both to my GPU at the same time, and have the same image/video/games project on both monitors. Or would I have to do 1 at a time? What would be the best way to go about doing this?
