It's an IPS... so expensive for only 1080p and < 24".

That IPS makes it expensive.   IPS usually means slower response time and/or refresh rate, but color depth and reproduction is on point.

In my opinion, I'd still rather have a TN panel that is either 1440p or 27" 1080p for that kind of price range.

But, if you want screen popping, amazing colors, etc... I'd think it should be pretty good just because it's an IPS. Can't speak for the brand or who's panel they are using though. I'd hope for their premium price tag though, it's be good.

The king is relative to many things.

IPS is not for color accuracy and TN is known for faster response/refresh rate.   IE, this type of monitor will typically cap out between 60hz to maybe close to 75hz if you choose to overclock it, where as your TN panels can go up to... say 144hz on their refresh rate.

Input response is eh. 5ms is ok. But that refresh rate is what you want to watch if you ever want to game on it. High FPS games can cause screen tearing (without vsync). Which is a common thing when you're pushing like 90FPS on an IPS screen.

Will this monitor be good for watching movies? Absolutely. @ 24fps on most movies, you'll be well within your refresh rate, and that color accuracy that IPS is made for will look great.

If you want to game on it. Sure, go a head. But, in my opinion, for that premium of a price, I'd rather get a 1440p monitor a 27" 1080p TN panelover a sub 24" IPS. I like higher refresh rates so I can enjoy my higher FPS, more than I like extreme color definition.

it's a give and take. And it comes down to your opinion here on IPS vs TN and the brand. Me, personally, I wouldn't even consider the monitor. But that's because I don't care so much for extremely color accuracy. I like higher resolution, higher refresh rate monitors.

A bunch you say? References, please. And I expect a bunch of references.

I think Bprat has an ips dell monitor

Yep, I do.    A Dell U2311H . Circa 2011.    I love the color, sharpnesss and contrast.   I've never noticed any motion blur, ghosting etc.   Gaming at 60fps on a 60Hz is excellent for the IPS.    

Never had a TN so can't really compare.     

Duh...... That's why I said it.    

  You got it.        On my part, genius might be a stretch,   but i get your drift.  

I came form a Dell 19" 1280x1024, so this 23" IPS was almost orgasmic. 

Everyone using a 24" or 30" Dell are probably using an IPS monitor. I am using a 23" IPS NEC monitor that uses the same screen as the Del and Viewsonic. Most of these monitors were bought before Meller was a member.

Not seeing a bunch.

Anyways, I feel as if you think I'm trash talking IPS. IPS, as I said is amazing for color accuracy but slower refresh rates. Where as TN is amazing on refresh rate, but less on color accuracy.

That is why gaming isn't idle on IPS. Just because depending on who's panel it is, you can start to experience ghosting and screen tearing on IPS panels if you're gaming at high fps.

This is extremely obvious if specifically Dell's IPS panels. You can go on youtube, and watch a lot of reviews showing just that, not to mention you can read it on several big review sites.

IPS displays an amazing picture. Image quality isn't too much the IPS as it's the resolution, but IPS offers the best range of colors, and best true color display.

You must understand, that I'm not trash talking IPS, in case that's how you were taking it. We most likely won't be seeing any 120hz or 144hz (or higher) fresh rate IPS monitors for a minute, unless you're willing to spend thousands.

That's all.

Dell UltraSharp U3014 is what it is and it is indeed an IPS monitor

Crappy monitor? That suh is fightin words! I can actually say I have a Dell that is fabulous.
And I don't need ghostbusters cause there ain't no ghosts.

I have a Dell Ultra sharp U3014 and it works fantastic.  I do not have any ghosts or tearing, or anything.
