    Posted: 16 Aug 2014 at 8:06am
So i'm planning ahead but for my future setup i plan on getting two monitors one to game on and browse the web, the second one to watch twitch streams and movies while i'm browsing the web or playing.

Now i know what Monitor 1 will be and thats the Asus VG248QE, for the secondary one i was thinking an IPS monitor but not sure which one. An y suggestions?

Thanks Nav, although wouldn't the first monitor be a tad bit overkill if all i'm going to do is watch movies/twitch streams?

Yeah... overkill would be the right word haha.

The second monitor does have a lot of good reviews and does have slim bezels so you won't have a huge gap.

Nav what about the Acer H236HLbid as the second one? Do you know much about it? I mean if all else fails i can just get a Asus Vh238H since its the monitor i am currently using and its pretty good.

I don't really have experience with Acer panels that much.

Looks good to me.  Strong   But, I don't spend alot of time checking out monitors.

The 144HZ 24" is for gaming and the larger IPS for other stuff, like streaming?
