Wanting it for the trading ASX world, not gaming or movies, although movies might get played for webinars, skype, P0rn etc
Not interested in TN panels and not wanting to pay a lot.
24" would be the absolute minimum size.
I 've searched and seem to miss every good deal out there. Can anyone help?
Display port connections is a must

    Maybe this?

    I have one, so if you have any questions, just let me know. I purchased it for $179 earlier this year from MSY. And it cost $199 at MSY right now.

      Thanks 18, do these have VESA Mounts? Just need to attach it to a multi monitor stand

          @ozy:

          Here is a list of monitors with the following search filters applied

          $100~500 dollars (price ascending)
          IPS panel
          24 inches minimum to 29 inches maximum
          VESA compatible

          It looks like the Viewsonic fits the bill. It's a cheap no-frills MVA-based panel that gives you 178 degree viewing angle, with very slightly worse colour reproduction than In-plane switching, but unless you are specifically into professional photo editing this shouldn't be a major concern.

          Next up it would be the LG 24MP68VQ-P, which is the more expensive IPS technology and it sells for $250. Anti-glare, low blue light and picture-in-picture mode. Tech specs from LG

          I would still recommend Dell Ultrasharp monitors squarely because they're a no-compromise monitor with good stands and panel quality, but they are kinda pricey.

    Dell P2417H at Futu Online eBay, which meets all your requirements, i.e. IPS panel, 24", DisplayPort, and VESA mount.

    You've missed out yesterday C20ELF coupon, indeed. But you can still use C10YAY coupon to bring the price down to $247.50 delivered.

      Was looking at this one today!
      Thank you O O!

        Warehouse1 listed Dell U2515U on eBay at the moment, which is UHD monitor that provides more pixels, hence better suited for the trading ASX purpose, if you're will to stretch your budget to $344.24.
