First of all, sorry for my english.
Im planning to upgrade my monitor and target Dell to be my next monitor. But Im in a big dilemma right now since there are so many models for Dell Ultrasharp such as U2412M(oldest), U2413, U2414H and U2415. Which one should I pick? Im an enthusiast gamer but watching movie sometimes. Some of my friends suggesting me TN Panel is good for gaming, but I prefer Dell because of the warranty services. But, you can also recommend me other brand and my budget is around those dell's price as I mentioned above.

I have used 144hz I have used IPS. Even with the 144hz TN calibrated I still prefer IPS overall.

I don't think you mentioned a price. It'd probably help a bit to know what region you'd be buying from too.

Dell has some decently good monitors, but I don't think it quite justifies the price. I've been really happy with my Samsung monitor. TN panels have low response times, which yeah, can be good for gaming, but generally bad for everything else. IPS panels have great color, viewing angle, and response times that aren't bad at all for most gaming. I wouldn't write them off completely. I'm sure Dell uses a lot of TN panels. For me, it would just come down to reviews.

Welcome to the forums too! :toast:

I think LG and Benq also have these IPS monitors don't they? Maybe you can find them in Malaysia?
