  Looking to upgrade my monitor  By Sarameya Feb 5, 2012 Post
New Reply   1. Hey guys,      I've been looking to purchase a
new monitor to replace my current one, but I have been
struggling on what monitor to purchase. I was also doing a bit
of research, and lots of people were saying to buy a TN or IPS
panel, and until today, I had no idea there were different types
of LCD panels, so I'm not sure what to get. I'm planning to use
the monitor for pretty much everything, gaming, browsing,
watching movies, etc. My budget is around $350, and I've been
looking for a 27 inch monitor.      Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!   2. slh28      slh28 TechSpot Paladin

$350.      Do you want a glossy or
