Hi, I'm looking to buy 2 IPS Monitors to replace my current Dell S2316H. I've a budget of $600. There are so many options out there with different specs (Response Rate, Refresh Rate) and it's getting confusing. Therefore, I would like to seek some opinions from you guys.

I mainly do web development (coding), browsing of social media (includes watching YouTube), streaming movies and gaming (LoL, occasionally CSGO, Fortnite, Project Cars and some other RPGs) on my PC. I've a PC running on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB).

What do you mean by that? So I should go for a resolution of 3840 x 2160? Like the Dell P2415Q? It's over my budget of $300 for each monitor. Do you have any cheaper recommendations?

I'm looking at some budget monitors which I'll buy as a pair.. (Criteria: at least 23" 16:9 with IPS below $250)
1. ACER SA230A (23", 1920x1080, IPS, 75Hz, 4ms - GtG) $165
2. ACER R240HY (23.8", 1920x1080, IPS, 60Hz, 4ms - GtG) $???
3. SAMSUNG C24F390 (23.5", 1920x1080, IPS, 60Hz, 4ms, Curved - 1800R) $198
4. SAMSUNG S24F350 (23.5", 1920x1080, IPS, 60Hz, 4ms) $178
5. LG 24MK430 (23.8", 1920x1080, IPS, 75Hz, 5ms - Faster) $159
6. LG 24MP59G (23.8", 1920x1080, IPS, 75Hz, 5ms - Faster, 1ms Motion Blur Reduction) $159

I'm also open for more expensive monitors which I might set it up as a primary monitor with my current S2316H as a secondary monitor.. (Criteria: at least 23" 16:9, 2560x1440 with IPS below $500)
1. SuperSolid X270 (27", 3840x2160, IPS, 70Hz, 5ms - GtG) $479

Which monitor will you guys choose? Or is there any other models will you recommend?

21:9 monitors normally has a resolution of 2560 x 1080 right? They exceed my budget.


LG 25UM58 should be sub 300 for 25". I use this.

Be warned though, height is around the same as 20" and so things are small. Butafter a few days you get used to it. It is great for working with spreadsheets and productivity.
