Hi, I'm in process of choosing a budget 1k resolution monitor for my desktop, I'm looking for 23-24". I will mainly use this monitor for gaming, watching movies and typing words for about 4-12 hours during weekend. here's the list:

IPS with anti glare display
AOC I2369VM
ASUS VX239H - Black bezel, good looking.
ASUS MX239H - silver bezel, not interested, bbut have anti tracing technology


VA monitor
BENQ EW2440

TN monitor
BenQ GL2450
BenQ GL2460HM
BenQ RL2455HM
AOC G2460PQU

My current GPU is Radeon Sapphire HD 7970, Im still waiting for gtx 980 to drop price, or next release.

The reason I include IPS, because I have never own an IPS monitor display. and I'm interested in the viewing angle, and the color I think that it would improve my gaming and movie watching experience, the cons are they have 5ms g2g (I wonder what's response time for other color) response time, and built in speaker which i don't need.

and TN monitor because they have low response rate except for GL2450(cheapest) and is only good for gaming. and games are fun.. sometimes movies are too.

now I'm stuck on which one to choose, between:
IPS anti glare colorful display with wide viewing angle.
or
TN faster response rate.

or you guys could recommend other monitor. for the price, I use pcpartpicker, newegg or amazon as reference.

thanks!

I prefer IPS. They have good enough response times for you to never notice a difference. Only the trained eye can and even those don't mind usually.

The visuals are that much better though and come to life in beautiful games.

I would ring fence in all the IPS options and pick something nice there. Generally Dell has good solutions funnily, certain BenQ models too.
