IPS vs TN

[fycdawg]

Hi guys. I have a question, i'm in the market for a monitor. Im looking for something between 23-24 inches. For the most part, the monitors by asus on newegg look like a great buy, cheap and large. However they use TN panels, which i hear are the worst of the three. AOC currently has a sale on this monitor.

Which is 23 inch, IPS 1920x1080 for 180 which seems like a steal to me. The reviews have been pretty great and it's so thin and sexy. 😍

How much of a difference am I going to see between an IPS and a TN like these from newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049
(which both are TN).

Also, will their be a noteable difference between 23,23.6 and 24 inch monitors?

Thanks guys.
PS. heres what im currently using

Although it does not explicitly state it on Buy.com, that monitor uses an e-IPS panel rather than the more expensive H-IPS, S-IPS or P-IPS panels. I won't go into the basic technical differences.

The e-IPS panel will give you better viewing angles so that you don't need to worry about colors shifting as much as TN panels when you move your head or adjust your sitting position.

5ms is fine for games. Some say that it can be as high as 12ms. But generally speaking, the lower the response time the less chances you will see any ghosting. However, there is a lot of advertising propaganda behind response time especially since there is no industry standard on how to measure it.
