Old Viewsonic 1680x1050 16:10 display is on its way out so looking to get a new monitor for a mix of general use, video and gaming. Connection will be HDMI from my old video card which I will also likely be upgrading at a later stage.

Was looking at getting the Dell U2417H but now thinking that might not be ideal for gaming. Aimed more at business, graphics & video use.

Basic requirements:

  • 1080p 24" is fine due to desk space available.
  • Must be height adjustable
  • Matte screen (non glossy)

Not sure what to get so after suggestions on brands and models to look at.

    What is the budget?

    Must be height adjustable

    Would you consider a monitor with VESA mount and buy the stand separately? Otherwise you are limiting your choices to only a few monitors.

    I recently recommended a mate the Asus MG248Q as a gaming monitor. Currently $420 delivered with the 20% off Selected Stores on eBay deal.

      No real set budget. Just wanted to get an idea of whats out there.

    I would get an IPS panel (great for colour reproduction and viewing angles and if your PC is a semi-decent rig I would consider something that can do 144hz (but not essential).

      I'd go for a VA panel for better contrast myself. I have IPS and the glow shits me to no end in dark scenes. Won't be going for IPS again unless they sort it out.

    do you have Nvidia or AMD video card? You can also consider getting a Freesync or G-Sync panel

      At the moment its an older Nvidia card which I want to upgrade in the future.
