Hello, i have some questions regarding 2 monitors, both are 1920x1080.
First one is Dell E2414HM 24" monitor, second one is Acer H276HL Bmid 27" 5ms IPS monitor.
both are 60Hz, dell one has only DVI and VGA, acer one has HDMI too.
So my questions are:
Q1: Which one would be the better choice? Acer one or dell? Acer is $60 more expensive
Q2: What's the difference between IPS and TN? And which is better?
Q3: is it true that 1080p on 27" is a terrible idea? If yes why?
Q4: Can VGA cable do 1920X1080 60fps?
Q5: does response time really matter in gaming?
i currently have a LG 32" TV hooked up on my rig, but i really dont like it as its a TV, the colors and picture quality on 1080p isnt so clear (tried with a different TV as well, same issue) for some reason 1360x768 looks way better and clearer than 1080p on my 32" LG TV.
Now most of you will tell me to order a 1440p or a 1080p 144hz monitor from amazon, i was looking at an Acer 144hz 1080p monitor but the thing is i cannot order, the shipping will cost literally the price of the monitor itself, so i have to pay $400 for a 1080p 5ms 144hz monitor.
Thank you.

The TN panel will only give you advantage in gaming if you are buying one with atleast 2ms response time..... Else the IPS panel will be much better choice since the color reproduction in IPS panels are much superior than TN Panels.

What are your purposes for buying the monitor? The IPS panels are more sharper and vivid and produces accurate colors than the TN panel.... From your choices i saw both the monitors are having a response time of 5ms. If you ask for suggestion i would simply recommend the Acer 27inch IPS monitor over the Dell one of your choice since editing photos and videos will be an advantage in the IPS panel.....
