Which monitor should I buy between these two?

[Witch Mercy]

I'm in need of a new monitor, and I'm looking at two and can't decide. I do a lot of gaming, so take that into factor. Around those prices are as much as I'm going to pay for one.

This is cool too: https://www.staples.com/Acer-K242HYL-Abd-23-8-Widescreen-LCD-Monitor/product_2738924

but your gpu may not handle wide screen well.

Oh, that one looks nice. I dunno too much about monitors, but what is IPS? And is it good?

IPS tends to have better colors than TN.

So you think that one is good for gaming? I'm leaning towards that one over the two I suggested.

 

[vapour]

do you mostly play first shooter games? If so, TN is better with much less response time. IPS is for RPG kind of game and movies.

I mainly play Overwatch and Borderlands for FPS. I play mostly stuff like Dead by Daylight, Friday the 13th, Fallout, etc. Will it effect me in Overwatch noticeably or anything?

5 ms vs 1 ms
For FPS games, I will get TN, but if you prefer color over response time, IPS is better. Go to a store and see it for yourself.

I'd much prefer response time over color so I guess that monitor is a no-go. :/
