GPU is Palit GTX970 Jet Stream DDR5 4GB

Budget, well lets just say money is not an issue.

Resolution (number of pixels on the screen)
HD - 1280x720
Full HD - 1920x1080
QHD - 2560x1440
4K - 3840 x 2160

The higher the ppi (pixel per inch), the sharper the output.

LCD - Liquid Crystal Display
Can be divided into TFT and OLED.
Main components of TFT are panel and backlit.
While for OLED, because the pixel itself can provide emit light, therefore it doesn't have dedicated backlit unit to lighten up your screen.

TFT Panels
TN - Cheapest panel. Poor colour reproduction, poor viewing angle but have a fast response time
IPS - Expensive panel. Great colour reproduction, good viewing angle but slower response time
VA - Combination of TN and IPS. Colour reproduction ability lies between TN and IPS, but have a good black and contrast reproduction

TFT Backlit
CCFL - The typical fluorescent light in our house.
LED - More power saving.

So the monitor can be the following combinations :
- TN + CCFL (Old budget monitors)
- TN + LED (New budget monitors)
- IPS + CCFL (Old premium monitors)
- IPS + LED (New premium monitors)
- And VA monitors are rarer compared to TN and IPS.

I think you have been affected by the marketing terms too much. The current generation of monitors are mostly using LED backlit, but the divider between them is the quality of the panels. If you want a decent monitor, you should look for the one with IPS panel, not the one with LED backlit as backlit isn't the vital component to decide the output quality of a monitor. smile.gif The one mentioned above comes with IPS panel.

Woah thanks for the explanation bro ! thumbup.gif So its safe to say the IPS / QHD is a good monitor?

I thought LED / HD was the best, because the other day i saw 1 monitor with this 2 terms label on it, and the screen is absolutely crystal clear with nice colour.

HD is the old generation description of resolution. It doesn't explain how good the monitor is in terms of colour. So does LED.
Usually the shop will put those pictures with vibrant colour to attract the customers, however when you compare those TN monitors with IPS monitors, the difference is obvious, when you look at them from side. icon_rolleyes.gif

To objectively determine whether a monitor is decent or not, you need equipment to determine the colour gamut of the monitor, as well as other aspects. But up to this stage, we don't need to see that, except for nitpicking comparison, say between 2 IPS monitors.

Bro so is it safe to say that this is one of the best monitor out there already? For 25" range that is. Before I pull the trigger. Thanks for the help

Are you doing colour sensitive task like colour grading or video editing?
If not, both are overkill for you.  smile.gif
