Hello All,

I'm after a little advice if I may...

I'm looking for a monitor, mainly for gaming, FPS, but I do a fair bit of Photoshop and Illustrator work, I could watch the odd HD movie on it too, so maybe a little bit of an all rounder.

I've been reading the forums and the sticky about all sorts, LCD vs LED, response rates, TFN, etc and to be honest, I'm totally confused. I'd like, if possible, to keep it under £150, but £190 could be achieved at a push.

I rebuilt my PC 5 months ago, but the old Dell 15 inch monitor is just not cutting it, if it helps but not sure it does, I've listed the GC below.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Axeia,

Wow, thank you for the very in depth description, all becomes clear now :)

Due to the split between the different types of application, I'd agree the IPS seems to be the best option, giving the bridge between the two.

Reading the reviews on the Dell, it doesn't look like there are many, if any drawbacks, seems very solid with good performance.

I really appreciate the time you've taken to detail this, having read several reviews, I will be taking your advice, I think there may well be one arriving in the next few days...

Well there would have been, except it's currently out of stock, still, no great rush, I can wait...

Thanks again.

Sorry, one final question, what would be the best connector to use from Graphics Card to Monitor? Apologies if that seems a dumb question, been working in IS for 15 years, but still can't get hardware!
