ISP is it really needed?

ok so im wanting to use nvidia surround and im deciding on a monitor to buy but i have a budget and the less i spend the happier i am. so is IPS required for an enjoyable experience when using surround or will i not notice much of a difference for the price point. i think they start about $155ish
thanks

IPS I am assuming.
IPS is soooo much clearer and gentler on the eyes in long gaming sessions.
I believe its worth spending money on, especially if you are going an expensive setup as surround tends to be...

Keep in mind that monitor is DVI and D-Sub only, no HDMI and display port.

Remember that the monitor is what you look at the most and is what will effect your experience the most.

If I were on a tight budget I would get 2 IPS monitors and a third when I got some cash laying around...

ok thank you for the advice ive personally never seen the difference between ips and the standard (in real life) not in a video so i think i may hold out and save up and get 3 IPS monitor

Well I have one system running with 1 IPS monitor and one TN panel next to each other, the TN is noticably yellower with almost no pure whites.
Colours are also much different, reds are fine, but greens are dull.

But probably the biggest thing that I noticed was when I moved my mains gaming system from all TN to all IPS, MUCH less eyestrain and much less tendency towards a headache with hours of gameplay, which has always been an issue for me when gaming for long stretches...
