Resident Redneck Facist
So its time to invest in some new monitors. Not looking to go super fancy, but want to make sure I don't buy something I will regret. So here is my criteria:
1) 23-24"
2) 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution to match what I used at work for when I work remotely
3) Either two DVI inputs or an HDMI and a DVI (a DisplayPort + either DVI or HDMI would work too, but haven't seen any of those that aren't pricey)
4) Preferably under $150
Most of the games I play are older, so I'm not worried about being able to say play Watch Dogs at the highest settings or anything. In fact, outside of Pillars of Eternity, the newest games I'm playing these days or in the near future are Dragon Age 1 and The Banner Saga.
I don't really understand what is so great about IPS, how fast a response rate I should look for or what contrast ratio is important. I used to understand this kind of stuff, but I haven't bought a monitor since literally 2005 and I was just excited to have a flat screen back then.
So, I found this one that I think meets my needs:
Acer - H6 Series 23" IPS LED HD Monitor
Any thoughts?
