Uses both a TN panel and IPS?

I'm currently in the hunt for a 2nd monitor. Currently I have a 27" Asus VG278HE which is a 144hz TN panel, it's used 95% for gaming so will carry that on as normal as my primary display. I'm considering getting an IPS panel for the 2nd monitor, which will mainly be used for watching films, Twitch and Youtube. I'm still considering another TN panel for the 2nd display though, as they are so much cheaper. I have no problems with the colours and viewing angles of TN panels as I sit directly in front of them but never really compare them to an IPS one. It's a toss up between these two -

I'm wanting to stick with a Asus monitor just to match with my primary. The first screen is £100 cheaper and it matches my current monitor much better with it's looks and TN panel. I'm wondering if the IPS screen will look out of place next to my current TN screen and I will continue to "compare" the two screens and then never be happy?

I'm lost!
 
I use an IPS panel along with a 120Hz TN and never even thought about it looking out of place but some people probably notice that more than others. Its the way to go IMO but depends a bit on the quality of the TN - I spend as little time looking at the benq 120Hz panel as possible when not gaming as I find the colors not at all pleasing on the eyes but other TNs I use aren't so bad for that.
 
I have one of those Asus screens alongside a higher res IPS panel from Korea. The colours don't quite match, but I got them pretty close. The colours on the Asus look so good and pop out, it really is one of the better TN panels so I don't think you will not be happy, especially when you compare the gameplay on it to the IPS you will just be pleased you have the best of both worlds :)
