From ranking to shortlist
Use measurements for motion
Compare response behavior, overshoot and input lag at the refresh rates you expect to use. Do not treat IPS or a single advertised response-time number as a complete motion-quality result.
Check the image requirements you actually have
Look for relevant colour, brightness and contrast measurements if those affect your gaming or work. Distinguish colour-gamut coverage from colour accuracy and calibration.
Match inputs and viewing position
Verify resolution, refresh rate and variable-refresh support through your actual port and cable. Compare stand adjustment and the screen position you can achieve at your desk.

Questions worth asking
Gaming Monitors FAQ
Does IPS guarantee accurate colour or fast response?
No. Panel type does not substitute for measurements of the exact monitor and operating settings.
