[Closed] Dual IPS Monitor recommendations please

I'd like to replace the scrappy dual monitor setup I've got with two nice new matching monitors at home. Ideally I'd buy 2 of the super dell monitors, but they are consistently £250 each which is more than I'd like to spend.
I want something around 24", IPS and a couple of inputs (1xHDMI and 1xDVI or 2xHDMI). Ideally < £150 each. It's a minefield out there in the budget / mid section of the market so I'm after some recommendations please.
Ta.

I've got 3 24" dell ips monitors and they are great however I am moving to 1x 27 and 1x24" monitor if you'd like to buy 2 off me!

@alexxx - possibly, what model are they, where are you in the UK and how much do you want for them?

u2412m's the good ultrasharp ones. Probably £260 for the pair plus postage or collection from Cumbria or Edinburgh area?

Cheers @alexxx - I think i'll keep my eyes open for something with a thinner bezel for a dual monitor setup.

I use these:

Had mine from currys, you may find some about that are a little closer to budget if there is a deal on but they currently sit at about 180 each I think.

I've recently bought a 27" 2560x1440 for about £200. The super fancy 1080p Dell monitors at work now seem a bit tawdry.

u2414 last of the low glow IPS (newer Dell panels have some shocking bleed when room dark, or on dark backgrounds on screen. Super thin bezel, great for gaming, photos, video editing, the lot!

£207 from jefffy bezz

BIL has a huge wide-screen monitor. He is liking it a lot - way more real estate than a dual set up, curved for consistent distance from viewer.

No idea of cost though...

Have you considered a ultra wide monitor instead of two separate?? That's we are moving to at work. Less plugs less outputs needed no Gap between the two halves of the desktop.

Or bigger still, a 40” 4K TV. Been using one for months and love it. Was the cheapest Samsung in that size, £320 or so.

Similar width to a 34” ultrawide but taller. Or like having four 22” 1080p monitors in a 2x2 grid but no bezels.
