Hello OCuk !

I'm a complete noobie when it comes to monitors as I've been gaming on a laptop 99% of the time. I need suggestions on a monitor (pref 24") for MMORPGs.

Is IPS panel type the best for MMORPG since they have the best color compared to the other panel types?

My budget is below £180.

Thanks for reading the post

Cheers ! :)

Thanks for the suggestions! I've taken the liyama down into consideration. However the U2312HM is way over my budget :(

For a MMORPG monitor, I've heard IPS panels are the best for this genre of gaming since it provides the best colors compared to the other panel types. Yes?

Still need more suggestions.

You won't need a special kind of monitor for RPGs/MMOs.

Besides, a 24" IPS will cost more than £150. Honestly, there is no "best monitor for MMOs", because MMOs aren't fast-paced FPS games, nor do they require colour accuracy.

Also "the best colours" is subjective. You might look at a calibrated monitor for photographic/publishing work and think the colours don't look vibrant/saturated enough.

I think in your price range however it's TN or nothing mate.
 
One of the reason I play MMO is because I love the scenery of different places (jungles,desserts,underwater,etc) and the huge cities. Will the IPS panel suit my taste? I'm a noobie when it comes to monitors but I'm looking for the "best colors" to look at when I'm gaming and also no ghosting but the response time doesn't have to be 1ms, maybe 5ms would be ok?

I'll increase my budget to £180 and if there's a recommendation at around £200, I can get it during x-mas or new year when I'm purchasing mine then.

Hopefully the prices of monitors drop during x-mas period :D

You don't really need any specific monitor mate, I use 2 TN and I think and IPS.

What I would possibly suggest is grabbin 2 of the nice BenQ 22" or similar a little over budget but when waiting for groups and such the second monitor is VERY usefull, just watch TV/movie or chat on messenger or summit, take the boredom from grinding too :) I'm sure I've seen them and similar for around £85 each. Keep an eye out for Dell offers also, AFAIK past 2 xmas's theyve had some nice promos running :)
