Is this a good graphics design monitor?

[Liam Murphy]

Hello everyone,



I am a graphics designer and I am disgracefully using a TN panel for my work, it has suited me well enough but it is way past due time for a new monitor.



My friend is going to sell me this monitor: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/aoc-27-widescreen-flat-panel-ips-led-hd-moni...



He is selling me that monitor for $180.


Even if this isn't amazingly color accurate, I just need something that is as cheap as possible, and I'm hoping that just having an IPS display will help me out a ton over my TN.


It's no doubt a good quality IPS monitor, but I'm not sure if it'll be good for graphics design. If anyone could let me know that'd be great. Thanks!

Your link to the 27"monitor did not work. There are several 27" AOC monitors at Best Buy.

In general, AOC is an inhouse brand only at Best Buy, and I do not recommend them as they are cheaper, but not good value.

For another $30, you can get a brand new LG in your 27" size.
