TN panel monitors have alot more backlight bleeding and uneven back-lighting. You will still have "glow" on certain parts. IPS glow can be horrid for gaming but it really has never bothered me with editing photos or any other professional thing.

And no contrast is the same on TN and IPS. TN panels have slightly and possibly unnoticeably higher response time but everything else is superior or equal on IPS.

My monitor has almost no backlight bleed. IPS glow can be reduced by tilting the monitor upwards just the way a monitor is supposed to be placed.

Would you suggest a higher quality TN panel? Since I'm doing graphic designing, I feel like the IPS glow will prevent me from working with blacks which I do alot. I also heard that contrast of IPS is not as good as TN. Is that true? And thank you for helping out:)

Which one would most likely have no ips glow or blacklight bleed?

Note that the first two are either used or refurbished. Will that matter? or should I just go for a new Ultrasharp?

Which one of these should I get? I will be using it for both gaming and designing.

As you guys can see, my budget is only $200-250 USD. I need to pick one by this weekend.

Haha I was just asking this to myself and I ended up buying a Zotac GTX 560 ti 448 today. It was my first purchase from tigerdirect :)

i guess i'll be going for the usb. Thanks for the help :)

the link i posted of a TP-Link USB wireless adapter had good reviews both on Newegg and tigerdirect. Should I go for that one?

wired connection would be a hassle from the living room to my room. My desktop is going to be right next to the door where the hallway to the living room is. Will it be an issue that the antena will be behind the desktop?
