I've always been running around with a TN panel. Then I started browsing for monitor upgrades and gathering reviews about other monitor technologies. Really picky reviews, those for the non-TN panels, have to say.
Long story short, would it be correct to assume, that whatever the pick, all are superior to TN?

I'm currently on a BenQ G2420HDBL
I was mostly looking at Dell U2311H & ASUS ML239H as IPS panels go (though that Hazro HZ27WC none-glass looked overly appealing, my concern is that it might be too big and a tad expensive for my budget)
And i also stumbled upon the BenQ VW2420H for VA and ASUS ML249H with an MVA.

Those are all within the same price range ('xept the Hazro). Such my question becomes, which one would you pick?

out of the dell and the asus i would choose the dell... they are both the same panel, and i think both use overdrive (good for motion) only difference is the asus uses LEDs, and has a bit of a naff stand imo- picture quality however should be similar, but not identical....

Hazro is a stripped down monitor but is meant to be very good... Traditionally VA panels are very good for films etc, but for everything else an IPS would probably be preferable..
and as above, what will you be using it for?- playing at the Hazro's native res will require a hefty computer

Well in contrast and color accuracy/viewing angles they are often so. But they are usually worse than TN:s when it comes to response time (important for gamers).
 
Okay, gonna rudely bump this.

I've decided to keep the TN for responsiveness issues in games, I'll just hotswap to it like a bauss.

Out of the monitors mentioned in my original post:

Dell U2311H / ASUS ML239H -- IPS
BenQ VW2420H/EW2420 (been told it's the same thing) -- VA; ASUS ML249H -- MVA

Which one would you dear OcUK forum folk, recommend for movies and general work (programming/graphic design).

That isn't to say that there is something wrong with current IPS panels for gaming, because there absolutely is not :)
