I'm looking for recommendations on either a used or new 24" 1080p IPS monitor that performs well for both video editing and gaming. Since I have sensitive eyes, I prefer a refresh rate of 60Hz. It would be a bonus if the monitor has an audio jack or built-in speakers, but it's not essential. I initially asked for advice elsewhere, but I ended up with conflicting suggestions. For instance, I was told that the Dell P2417 is good, but then I saw mixed reviews about the U2414 and P2417 models. I'm also considering monitors from brands like Benq (like the 2480), Dell's P/U series, and the HP Elite E243 for their color vibrancy and accuracy. Ideally, I want to invest in one primary monitor and a more affordable secondary one, around 25-30 EUR. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For your main monitor, I'd recommend either the Dell S2425H or the ASUS ProArt PA248QV. The S2425H stands out for video editing because of its excellent color coverage, plus it enhances gaming experience with a smoother 100Hz refresh rate. The colors pop more than those on the ProArt, which tends to have a more subdued, professional look. As for the side monitor, check out platforms like eBay, Wallapop, or BackMarket for "Grade B" or "Bulk" listings; you can often snag good deals from office liquidators for around €30.
