Suggest the best ips monitor under 30K

I'm planning to buy 2 monitors of different sizes, so please do suggest for both.

1. Budget?
- under Rs. 30,000 max [each].

2. Display type and size?
- a. 24" monitor
- b. 27" monitor

3. Primary use of TV/monitor?
- in decreasing order of preferences. Bluray movies, internet browsing, photoshop, ms office, tally, occasional gaming like Witcher2, Assassin's Creed etc.

4. Ports Required?
- Hdmi, VGA.

5. Preferred choice of brand?
- none in particular but should have good warranty, ass in Bangalore.

6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
- none whatsoever but saw many mention these two
a. Asus 24.1 inch PB248Q
b. AOC i2769VM

7. Any other info that you want to share.
- no glossy surface. Will be connecting PS4/XONE on future purchase. Also, a bluray player + d2h if I consider connecting it as tv.

- Budget of 30k is allocated to both separately so there won't be any compromise in picture quality & color reproduction. So, please suggest the best 24" monitor under 30k + the best 27" monitor under 30k.

Regards.

Asus pb278q

This is not an IPS panel but it is better than IPS and is made for photo editing.

For TV viewing i would suggest you to get a led TV they comes with better panel for tv viewing.

cool. I'll look into it. What is your opinion on PA248Q? Is there any difference between the PB series & PA series?

The one you mentioned ASUS PB278Q is out of my budget sadly :(

Unfortunately the free shipping applies only for domestic and not international. Also, like I mentioned earlier the cost almost doubles up what with the taxes and import duties :(. Would have loved if I could get the PA249Q version for much lesser price in India.
