I need a 24in monitor with very good color perception because I only watch youtube videos and the monitor isn't for gaming so I don't need a high refresh rate.

IPS you mean.

You can look at the other monitors yourself. The above is more of an example since most others didn't have any customer feedback to guess at quality, but definitely click on links to NEWEGG etc and compare comment scores and especially 1/5 and 2/5 percentage and comments.

When I clicked on an ACER monitor and went to the NEWEGG site it showed me a lot of feedback (so don't go only by pcpartpicker's score) and it was 3/5 average so not recommended.

*NOT RECOMMENDED:

Now click on the 3/5 link, go down and click on the 1/5 score to get the comments...

(Not an ideal example as there aren't many comments. That's another good point... get a product with lots of comments which also means its likely been around for a while so you may get some feedback on longer term usage.)
