Asus VS247H-P LCD LED Lit 24" Monitor - $148.04 after $20 Rebate

I have owned the VS247H-P for two months, which I heard is similar to the VS248H-P. It's pretty good I suppose, although there are a few things I've noticed that are a little off.

1. The top half has a slightly warmer, reddish tone and a cooler, bluish tone at the bottom; it's a gradual shift but obvious when the majority of the screen has light colors. I got it replaced (with a different manufacture date) and it had the same issue. It's not noticeable when I'm watching a video or playing a game on it.
2. They both also had a neon-like whiteness where it's not glowing but the white appears off somehow, and it bugs me if I'm reading something like a word doc on it. #1 may be why it seems off. Thankfully, my other monitor is an IPS and shows it more accurately. My IPS monitor may also be why I'm noticing #1 and #2.
3. There is minor color bleeding all around, but only noticeable with a black background. I don't think I'd notice if I were playing a video of a dark scene at full screen.

If none of the above is a big issue, like it isn't for me, enjoy.

barf not an IPS model. fail

Because TN panels are garbage and you can get the IPS for a similar price.

I'm about to jump on this, but wondering if IPS is worth the extra cost with all the fan boys crapping up these threads.
