Monitor Upgrade for 1050p

[Psionic7]

Hello forum. In my quest for upgrading my current rig i found a nice deal for a GTX 970 at 150e great price-great perfomance. I'm very happy, comparing it with my old GTX 550Ti. Right now i'm using an old Samsung Syncmaster T200 20" (1680x1050) as a monitor and a Samsung UE32J5100AW 32" TV hooked in the wall for some movies and "gamepad" games (such as Tomb Raider, Witcher e.t.c). I use my monitor mainly for web browsing, everyday use, FPS-Shooter, and competitive online games( mainly shooters). I am looking for upgrading my monitor and my budget is 200e. I'm looking buying a brand new or even a used one here in my city, where i can check if the monitor is alright. So i'm asking you guys, is it worth going into 1080p(60+ Hz) or use my TV as monitor?

Yes it is worth to play 1080p if you wanna cheap solution Asus V series are great option it has 1080p vga and dvi and some models have HDMI. But the stand doesn't go up down but it has great picture and its led.
Or better options

I was checking for 24" and 27" monitors. Sweet spot shapes for my tastes. I searched for the LG UW 25" you mentioned above. Some people dislike the UW on 25", but 29" seems too big and exhausting for long gaming sessions. What do you think?

Well i think i have 21" and its okay for its purposes (asus vw228n) but if you want 21" Asus is sweet spot for price/perfomance, just make sure its not TN panel.
This one ASUS VE VE247H 23.6 has HDMI, DVI-D and its kinda old but gold no gsync or other stuff.

If i find any ips with 1ms response time is a deal? I think lg makes some of them. Asus has ips panels?

"LED = LCD display with LED backlighting. LED's are smaller and also have the potential to make the screen brighter.

So the different forms you've typed, LED backlit LCD, backlight LED, they're all the same thing

IPS is the panel type. You have various different type of panels, for example also VA and TN.

IPS allows more life-like and natural colors and great viewing angles. VA panels have higher contrast ratio's and TN panels are the fastest of them all with minimal response time but less color depth and poor viewing angles "
