I believe my two monitors are IPS & they are plenty good enough for, but then I don't do gaming.
I've been using IPS for a while, after changing from TN. The colours are great, but I'm a bit disappointed with the inevitable "IPS-glow" that makes it so dark blacks are more greyish than anything. I would love to see OLED on monitors, or some way to have deeper blacks on IPS.
IPS here, running 2x24" 4k(technically UHD), for productivity rather than gaming but they are fine gaming.
I do own one of the AOC 31.5 VA monitors andit looks good (my son now uses it) but I do believe that model is now IPS too.
Backlight bleed can be an issue. It's why I'm very choosy when it comes to my screens.Originally Posted by Cinetyk
Also have you calibrated it? my delta was ok out of the box, but far far better once calibrated.
For my PC, IPS, due to the better image quality and ability to view from angles relative to TN. Heavily preferred for a laptop, though not a must-have, and my external/desktop monitor (24") is an IPS.
I haven't had a VA panel, so I can't speak to that one from experience, but would be receptive to the possibility. Haven't had an OLED panel, either, though I would like one for a TV once I have a house instead of a flat. I'll pass on them for computers, due to burn-in.
My backup monitor is a 17" CRT, but that's a hand-me-down and I can't see myself acquiring another (though I did acquire a CRT TV for a friend earlier this year). Too heavy primarily, although it does have excellent black levels.
Well currently on an old backup Samsung 4k 60hz TN panel no G sync/freesync and all I can see is it's average compared to my now dead ASUS ROG Swift 1440p 165hz IPS.
They all have pros and cons though, This TN has no IPS glow or back light bleed, The IPS was displaying more greys than black and had bad IPS glow and back light bleed bottom edges. The TN you move your head slightly and the colour shift is shocking. Another thing I dislike with IPS is poor contrast.
Yet to try VA panels but I hear they have excellent contrast which matters if you are like me and play with lights off, Only thing is they can suffer from ghosting.
Next panel is probably going to be back to IPS for me although this time 4k 144hz 1ms G sync compatible, The LG27GN950 looks decent, Just wish they had a 32inch version.
IPS every day of the week. I didn't think there'd be much difference having only had TN previously, but I went IPS (Acer Predator X34A) and the difference was unreal. I have VA's at work and they are not bad, but still not a patch on IPS.
just bought 2 asus 24" monitors. one w/75hz, the other 144hz which is ips as well. the former asus is tn i believe. the 144hz asus also has DP and HDMI. the other one is 2HDMI but has the greatest stand and 'joystick'toggle control the stand will very easily go to vertical or horizontal. the 144hz has a far less capable stand and no way to get the monitor vertical without an articulating friend to hold it.
I've only really tried IPS and TN so largely in favour of IPS. Just got a new IPS monitor the other day, colours tempted me but the blacks are indeed a letdown now I'm used to my oled phone
again, have you calibrated it? with a proper colorimeter?
I have the same monitor and I love the thing.
I wanted the monitor that much, I swapped my Vega 64 LC for it,
I kept my 1080ti KiNGPiN thou, and I still have that to game with
I think the answer to the question is in the question .... though "how much it costs" needs to be added for most people. That is .... what's the intended usage scenario?
It's not just panel type, though, but other factors too, such as refresh rate, resolution, colour range, colour accuracy, and so forth.
For me, colour accuracy and extent of sRGB is more important than ultra-fast refresh, as I'm more interested in photo editing than gaming.
That said, and up to a point, you can get monitors with less compromises in the less important areas, but usually pushing the budget up, and sometimes, way, way up. But that might be less important than not compromising.
TL/DR version. Work out what your prepared to spend and which factors matter most, and work from there. I don't have a preference for one tech or the other. What I would pick for a gaming machine is different from a photo editing machine, and both are different for an admin machine I used for WP, accounts and financial planning.
It's very much a case of horses for courses.
