I'm looking for a new monitor and have been reading up on VA, IPS, TN panels and the pros and cons of different resolutions, but everyone seems to have something different to say. I've only used TN panels in the past. I was all set on the AOC Q3279VWF until I read reports of blurring and ghosting 
It'll be used PC (RX 480 8GB) and consoles (I've currently only got a PS3 connected).
Must have audio pass through/output and at least 2x HDMI/DP inputs.
I'm looking to spend around £200-£250 and I'm currently looking at the following, but would appreciate any other suggestions, guidance or comments
