So what is best for gaming an IPS panel or a TN panel and what is the best resolution.

IPS monitors do have better quality but with 8-16 ms response time and double the price I personal would not recommend them especially for gaming. If you are in front of Photoshop all day and you are making money out of it go for it

Both monitors you were looking at are TN...so TN I recommended...

IMHO 120Hz,3D ready (for possible future upgrade) and within your budget TN is the way to go.

it all depends on what you are doing. NEC (i believe is owned by DELL) makes business equipment. nothing they make is really meant for home use, unless they make something i have never seen. if your eyes are hurting while looking at the monitors you need one with a good response time. P2270 by samsung has a 2ms and i can stare at it for hours without issues. viewsonic has a 1ms response time.

IPS is far better quality than TN, but Tn is best for gaming. The response times are slower though.

So a TN is best for gaming, but response time so long as its under 8ms (Dell Ultrasharp U2410 is around 6ms, and 5ms was the standard for a long while, perhaps still is for TN), should all be fine.

Trouble is finding a good response time for £300 budget.

So if you are just gaming, go for TN, but if you want much better quality for for IPS

what are you talking about. if it has a response time of 8 that is absolutely terrible for gaming! the BEST gaming monitors must have a response time on under 2ms. the lower the response time the longer you can starre at your monitor, which leads to longer game play, and can result in you performing better in your games.
