Hi, can you recommend me any IPS monitor that is still great to be used in Games, meaning it has a low response time and input lag?

I also do photoediting, so I still expect for the colour reproduction to be good.

If you want more information, then here it is:

1. What Is Your Country Of Origin? UK

2. What do you plan to do with this monitor? (ex. Games, Movie Watching, Photo Editing, etc.) Gaming, and Photo Editing

3. What resolution and screen size do you want? 1920 x 1080, 24 inch

4. What refresh rate do you want? (ex. 60 hz , 70 hz.) At least 60

5. How much are you looking to spend? Less than £300

6. Brands Preferred (ex. Samsung, Acer, Asus, AOC, HP, Viewsonic, etc. ) None

7. Brands Not Preferred (state reason why) None

8. Are You Buying More Than One Monitor? No

9. How Many Displays Can Your GPU Support Maximum? And what GPU and driver version are you using if applicable? I got no Idea, I am getting a gtx 970. Shouldn't matter though since I'm getting only one.

10. What Port Do You Want To Connect To (ex. DVI-D, HDMI, etc). Don't know :( Maybe Display? what do you think is best for a gtx 970? :p
11. Is This Monitor A Primary Display Or A Secondary Display? Primary

12. Is This A Secondary Display For A Laptop? No


Will a Dell U2414H be good? Does it produce any noticeable ghosting or Motion Blur?

Thanks!

Yeah, I've seen that video.
I actually created a thread a few hours ago, and I told that I was going to get a G-Sync Monitor. Sadly, it seems I do not have the money to do that :(
So I guess I'll go with either an Dell U2414H or BenQ GW2765HT. The only thing that the BenQ monitor is putting my off by is its 1440p resoultion. The GTX 970 can't run all games at 60fps, so then I will experience screen tearing most likely :(

I'm also thinking about getting a Asus VG248QE, but for now, the colour seems more appealing to me :)
