If you look at the best rated pro displays they are all IPS, so that would be my recommendation.
IPS has the best color accuracy. If you are one a budget you can save money by buying a better display in a smaller size. I realize that you would like a 32", but consider why you are buying it.... to edit colors of photographs.
You want 10 bit color, and if you want your screen to match your prints, a super bright display is not helpful.
Ideally you want hardware calibration. For editing pictures you would be better off with a great 24" vs a mediocre 32". Most displays are geared toward gaming, which have different requirements than editing pictures.
Thats my best advice

After much Q&A on the Hog, I purchased the 32" BenQ EW3270U Monitor 3 years ago.
I have been extremely happy with my choice.
I believe their PD series has superseded it. Check them out.

Yes, I have plenty of graphics horsepower for any monitor out there.
Make sure you do...adding a 4k monitor can slow you down.
Which is exactly why I use my monitor at 1440...for photo processing.
I can have multiple programs open and still process.
If I go to 4k...the system...even mine...will slow down a bit.

Bottlenecks are the main problem with computers...one upgrade...may end up showing another deficiency.

It is a VA display instead of IPS. Ive read pros and cons on this. Does anyone have experience with this model or VA displays in general? If not this monitor then I’m open to suggestions. Thanks

LG makes great 32” monitors!

That is a VA panel like the one I’m considering. Even though yours has been updated with a new model I found one like you have for $349. I has a better color gamut than the Dell has too. Thanks for sharing your info with me

There is some basic information here. A brief perusal makes me think worrying about which type is like splitting hairs.

I think the choice quickly boils down to personal preference. I prefer a matte screen because reflections drive me crazier but most prefer a screen that appears sharper.

Cooke, just buy the monitor ! Ok just do it, you will be very glad you did.
Look, this is UHH, you have been on here long enough to know what kind of replies to expect on a question like this.
Also the one Tracy B. sent you looks good too.
You cannot go wrong. The ISP beats the VGA and I do not care what other say. I have been through all of this myself.
So, GET THE MONITOR, you will be glad you did.
Ok the BenQ crowd will always chime and the BenQ monitors are actually the top of the line BUT the price ????
Well you have a laptop, so it would be over kill big time.
The one Tracy sent you and the 299 one, either one, you WILL BE HAPPY.
Just do it.
Bruce.
