I've used a lot of monitors, and based on my experience, I learned a few things: - The difference between 144Hz and 60Hz is noticeable, however it only benefits gamers. On the other hand, between 144Hz and 240Hz, not so much. - Contrast ratio matters, which is why IPS panel might not be the best option for movies because it can never really show that "true black" which is achievable with VA and TN panels. - Viewing angle might not be as important as you might think when it comes to computer monitor because if you think about it, chances are 99% of the time you spend on your computer is by sitting right in front of the monitor even if you have like a 2-or-3-monitor setup. However depending on your sitting position, wider viewing angle might benefit you if you have ultrawide or bigger screens (27" and up) which is why they now make curved monitors. - For your own good, please consider the pixel density. 4K resolution on a 34" monitor is perfect, 4K resolution on a 27" monitor is not enjoyable, and 4K resolution on a 24" monitor is a nightmare. - If fps from your GPU > your monitor's refresh rate, then there is going to be a tearing effect. If fps from your GPU < your monitor's refresh rate, then there is going to be a stuttering effect. The bigger the gap, the more you can notice those phenomena. Solution for the first phenomenon is by enabling Vsync (if available in game settings), or get a higher refresh rate monitor. Solution for the other one, is by using adaptive Vsync. Adaptive Vsync allows your monitor to lower its refresh rate to match the fps pushed by your GPU, however it cannot push beyond the native refresh rate. Adaptive Vsync on Nvidia is called G-Sync, on AMD it's called FreeSync. G-Sync is more expensive because it requires additional hardware installed on the monitor, FreeSync doesn't so it's cheaper, however both do the same job. - A good TN panel can actually reproduce decent colors (almost on par with VA panel) if you're willing to do some color calibration. - If you're serious about color accuracy, try to find a monitor with AH-IPS panel, or PLS panel for Samsung monitors.
Well no, watching movies on any type of panel is perfectly fine, but for me personally, I prefer VA panels when it comes to watching movies on a monitor. It's very subjective though, some people might enjoy watching movies on an IPS monitor over VA. However if I had $700 and I want the best display just for movies then I'd probably go for an OLED TV.
I dont get why you're saying that 4K at 24' is a nightmare, apart from the fact that scaling is quite fucked up. Indeed, even tho I only own a 1440p/165Hz 24' monitor, I definitively LOVE the increase un pixel density and sharpness of the image over the 1080p variant. So I imagine that a 4K with 200% scaling would be just perfect with nearly no need of antialiasing.

@@trsskater A 1200 dollar system is enough to run a 1440p 144hz monitor in a lot of situations. But a monitor of those specifications is nearly HALF that budget. That's absolutely insane for just one computer part, even if you're looking at it for the majority of the time. So while that's a good analogy, its flawed.
Love IPS panels. But its biggest flaw is the IPS glow & backlight bleed varying between units. Some of them can be so bad that it's genuinely distracting to use. If they ever fix those issues, the panel will be near perfect.
Conclusion 6:15 IPS (in plane switching) =best visuals , but 5ms latency VA( vertical alignment)= mix and medium quality &speed of IPS , TN Panels TN (twisted nematic) = best 1ms panel good for gamers with fast screen movements but with less quality in visuals
Same. Most are either 5ms or less or they have Gsync. Which makes it equil to an 400€ screen... Makes laptop even more interesting.. Altough a 27 inch screen would be nice..
@@yslsammyy i have it ! it's very good !! you can mess with the vibration to get better colors ! but be careful , once you go 144hz you won't be able to go back
As far as I know IPS panels are more affected by backlight bleeding than VA panels, so I was confused when you mentioned it only with the VA. If somone can help me with that I'll be glad.
Switched from a TN to a VA panel. I have to say, the difference in picture quality is astounding. Both 144hz 1ms. I also have an IPS screen as a secondary monitor at 60hz, fine for neutral photo editing.
dude u guys are crazy crying about 60hz. 60hz is plenty fast and IPS monitor is shitting on dumbass TN which looks like a washed out messed. believe me stop trying to be cool and play a 7 year old game like countercrap GO and get 200fps with 240hz monitor. i bet you guys any money most people with 240hz monitors still get raped with people playing on 60hz. at a certain point the extra speed dont matter
I know I’m late but I want everyone new to gaming to know that having a 60hz monitor absolutely positively DOES NOT limit your FPS to 60. If your FPS is greater than HZ then there will be slight screen tear, vice versa there will be slight stuttering. If they’re synced up there will be slight input lag, unless you have a fancy monitor with g-sync or free-sync.
Can confirm this I dealt with screen tearing for a very long time with my 60hz monitor but the input lag would go away. If I synced up with vsync or otherwise capped the fps limit, the screen tearing would disappear but input lag became very noticeable.
PLS / IPS / AH-IPS - Best color accuracy. Typically paired with 2K or 4K resolutions. Suited for graphic design. VA - Middle ground. Better contrast ratio than IPS and TN. Typically paired with HDR. Suited for media centre (e.g. TV). TN - Fast and cheap. Standard quality of color and contrast. Typically paired with high refresh rates (e.g. 120Hz-144Hz). Suited for gaming and basic computing.
I am planning to get one in the next few days, is it really that good?, is their any ghosting or bleeding?, how does it compare to other monitors with the same price?, and how is the input lag?, sorry for my numerous questions just trying to not waste money here you know xD, have a great day
@Nex Wex 2 1ms is a just advertising trick. most of the time its going to be 3ms average even on the best monitor and same goes for the best response time ips panel they say 4ms but average is 5ms. so buy what you want but a 2ms difference there is not a person in the world that can see that.
Tubeless I’ve switched from the tn version to the ips. Mostly because i has a color banding issue. It is better but I wouldn’t say amazingly better, just better. The cool thing about it was I didn’t have to calibrate it. It looked good right when I turned it on. There is some backlight bleed, but not much to fuss over about. Besides is only really noticeable during dark/black scenes. Other than that, great monitor 👍🏻
2008: My first LCD TN monitor SAMSUNG 923NW..Better than CRT monitor.. 2017: I'll get a VA since I'm on a budget..Better than TN monitor.. 2019: Maybe in the future I'll upgrade and get a IPS monitor once the price goes down.. 2030: Need to upgrade, but what to do with all of these old monitors? FML.
I found IPS the best for doing photographic and video work, or simply viewing. I found TN to be best for having speed, but viewing angle is more critical.
And i went from TN 144hz to VA super ultrawide with 120hz, and the colors are stronger and more alive, i didn't feel too much decrease in input lag, and my CRG90's HDR1000 really made games come alive as well.
@@zigasi86 Well, yeah. Running games at 1440p 144Hz requires a rather beefy GPU. But I figure if you're spending a premium on a high quality screen, you probably already own a pretty powerful rig.
@@Handelo yeah true. just wanted to say for future buyers that even with 1080ti in some cases they wount get full use of 144hz monitor ;) games wise. maybe with 2080ti i dont know.
I am torn between a VA BenQ (BenQ EW3270U) 32 inch and LG IPS (LG 27UK650-W) 27 inch. Both are 4k HDR monitors. I will use it mainly for gaming on consoles, PS4 pro, Xbox one X. If only blacks don't suck on IPS panels.
Old video, new comment. I tried going from a TN monitor to a VA monitor playing rocket league and Call of Duty and my god. The blur on my monitor feels like I'm constantly playing with motion blur, even on the 'extreme' setting of the MSI monitor. Granted, I'm going to try more before I decide, but in case anyone is in the same situation, watch out. I have a Dell S2716DG which is a pretty badass monitor, known for it's high response rate. It's perfect for high paced games, but my god, it's difficult to move on from it since nothing quite matches it as far as I'm aware in response time.
IPS for casual (like to look at the great graphics ) TN for competitive gaming (cheap to hit 144hz + and low response time. (Bad colors tho) VA-mix of both I think. Wasn’t paying attention
VA are great monitors if you dont mind smearing in darker scenes i had HP LP2275w and it was amazing upgrade from TN panel both color and dark representation. Now i moved to IPS panel and i can say colors are even better (not as much jump as TN to VA but still better) IPS glow... yeah i dont mind it if i dont look for it as only one corner glows in about 1x2 cm and only while sitting at 60cm from screen and if i look at middle i already see corners as ambient out of focus range so i dont mind it. I sometimes get disgusted by it while boring cinematics or loading screens but thats not big deal. Response time are much better in darker sceenes but black is more of very dark grey color which for some reason dont bother me even though i loved blacks on VA. Viewing angles depends on lotery mine screen has like 179 degree from righ side without any glow and like 45 degree from left before glow is bad. I would say if you play in bright room and dont play much horror games IPS > VA if you play in dark room without light VA > IPS. I actually tried both side by side and now i got used to IPS response time VA sort of feels like playing with motion blur (funnily enought i did not see it before while i only had VA monitor)
@Alex I No they do not lol. The colors are much much more vibrant no matter where you look at it. Now that IPS refresh rates and response times are just as good as TN specs the only argument for TN is the price point which is a valid argument.
@Manu Deadskinmask Indeed, hands down best monitor if you are either lucky or dong mind going through several RMAs, when you get perfect piece TN looks like color TV from 1980 in comparison.
@NovaDoll hope you are trolling becouse those panels are identical but Acer has better quality controll. There is only one 1440p 165 Hz IPS panel manufacturing.
I recently got an aw2518h at 1/3 cheaper than that Acer, got to say i don't regret getting it. Not saying that the Acer is bad, only that opinions and style of using it depends from person to person so what is best for you might not have same worth to someone else.
I have owned all of these panels... I now have a VA panel. I bought it cos it had a great 240hz and i regret.. If you ask my opinion, go for IPS panel in every situation. Becuase IPS panels are much more vivid. The other things like refresh rate etc, it really dont matter except some extreme cases.
Great vid, tho response time is not really about what you notice yourself, its about being fastest, if you have 5ms response time and your enemy has 1ms your effectively 4ms behind, which in an fps can mean the difference between winnen or loosing the fight
It's one of the best gaming monitors you can get. The only thing that I can remark on is the built in speakers which are really bad, but that's should not be a deal breaker as most people uses headphones while gaming or have a real sound system for listening music.
Thanks. And btw what about the TN pannel? Theres also the xb271hu i think. Its the same specs with IPS should i get that one or it isnt worth the extra money? The IPS is like 567 dollars now i think
@monster master IPS colors are on whole different level, you wont belive until you see it but there is some IPS glow in 95% of cases. So it depends: 1) are you extra competitive FPS player (i mean like top 5%) go TN 2) do you play in totally dark room and play a lot of extremely dark games (like Outlast) go VA 3) if those two dont apply IPS 100% I owned all three technologies over time and i have to say all of them suck one way or another its all about compromises but the IPS is most universal one if you dont mind having some bias ligh near monitor.
I will stick with my 4K IPS 60FPS for as long as the monitor will work. If it breaks in 2019, I will still choose a 4K IPS and if it breaks in 2030 I will get an OLED 4K monitor (if they will have it at a good price ahahhaa)
@Jim I have switched from a 32" curved VA to a 32" IPS and I prefer backlight bleed rather than smearing. I hated it, everything was unenjoyable: web, desktop, gaming. Poor blacks only show when your whole monitor is displaying blacks, which it rarely does, so it's okay.

I just got the MSI Optix MAG271CV 27'' 144hz VA panel, And it's amazing! There is only very little backlight bleed. Only during night sometimes noticeable, but not a dealbreaker.
IPS = Favors image quality but has slow response time and low refresh rate TN = Favors High Response time and high refresh rate but had bad image quality VA = In between Is better then tn when it come to quality and has a better refresh rate then IPS BUT can have very bad response time
From this and a few other videos, I actually prefer the colour and contrast on the VA panels compared to IPS. Not sure exactly why but maybe IPS seems too saturated in colour to me while VA looks more natural. Gotta test this out in person...
So I got tired of watching reviews and did something crazy, I bought two 21:9 monitors same size, Hz, and resolution. Only diff was one was VA and the other IPS. Duplicated RDR2 on them so i could do a real time comparison. IPS: Amazing colors, world looked "real". Sunsets and sunrises awesome. Bad side was poor contrast ratio with blacks looking grey. I have an LG OLED TV so I really notice the IPS "grey" but alas there are no true OLED monitors, probably due to burn in. VA: Colors were "ok" but did not have the full range, vibrancy and depth of IPS. This alone ruined the otherwise beautiful open world game. It was as if VA panel had no ambient occlusion setting if you know what I mean. One thing it was better at was night scenes as the contrast ratio was better. I just couldn't get over how "cartoonish" the world looked on VA. When people say VA looks 'washed out", I now get what they mean. I can't stress this enough, you can't see this on TH-cam and it makes all the difference in gaming. The other major issue with VA was ghosting and poor viewing angles, which matters even on monitors because curved 21:9 monitors that are VA don't have good image uniformity like IPS curved do. Summary: IMHO, VA and TN panels are not good for AAA open world games played at 60FPS. Stick with OLED or IPS for gaming as they "pop" with life and can produce all the colors the developer wanted. My personal set-up now is 3440x1440p IPS 21:9 LG, at this "2k" resolution I get 55-70FPS on most AAA games on high/ultra (i7 3770k @ 4.5ghz OC + 1070ti).
Thank you for sharing this. I'm currently deciding which monitor I want after I finish my first ever PC build. I'll mostly be playing PUBG and Apex, so you think I should go with an ips as well?
My son (age 6) and I, play BFV on PS4 and PS4 Pro respectively. He uses a 1080p, 60Hz, 1ms, TN monitor, and I use a 1440p, 144Hz, 5ms, IPS monitor, which on the PS4 Pro drops to 60Hz and up scales the resolution to 4K - with HDR on. The two of us consistently finish TDM matches in the top 5, with numerous 1st and 2nd placement. My point is: it’s more the player than the monitor. These manufacturers got us all confused, and fighting over which monitor to buy. People are pulling out their hair trying to navigate through this sea of marketing confusion. Although the information presented in this video is accurate, it’s important to note that the only time the type of monitor is relevant is at the professional level, where all the players are exceptional, and the hardware becomes critical to the success of the player. At our level, our first person shooter performance has little to do with the monitor we are using.

@@trsskater A 1200 dollar system is enough to run a 1440p 144hz monitor in a lot of situations. But a monitor of those specifications is nearly HALF that budget. That's absolutely insane for just one computer part, even if you're looking at it for the majority of the time. So while that's a good analogy, its flawed.

Love IPS panels. But its biggest flaw is the IPS glow & backlight bleed varying between units. Some of them can be so bad that it's genuinely distracting to use. If they ever fix those issues, the panel will be near perfect.
Conclusion 6:15
IPS (in plane switching) =best visuals , but 5ms latency
VA( vertical alignment)= mix and medium quality &speed of IPS , TN Panels
TN (twisted nematic) = best 1ms panel good for gamers with fast screen movements but with less quality in visuals
Have 144hz IPS in my laptop. Very happy with it.
Same. Most are either 5ms or less or they have Gsync. Which makes it equil to an 400€ screen... Makes laptop even more interesting..
Altough a 27 inch screen would be nice..

As far as I know IPS panels are more affected by backlight bleeding than VA panels, so I was confused when you mentioned it only with the VA. If somone can help me with that I'll be glad.
Yeh, the video is wrong about talking of backlight bleeding in VA panels instead of the IPS ones. Ghosting, on the other hand is true.
Nice video, I was just watching the cutscenes☺️✌️
Cool
This video really helped to clear up my doubts. Thanks a ton!
All info, no crap. Very professional production. 👍
Switched from a TN to a VA panel. I have to say, the difference in picture quality is astounding. Both 144hz 1ms. I also have an IPS screen as a secondary monitor at 60hz, fine for neutral photo editing.
Tom M A VA panel with a 1ms response time. Well that just doesn't exist...
dude u guys are crazy crying about 60hz. 60hz is plenty fast and IPS monitor is shitting on dumbass TN which looks like a washed out messed.
believe me stop trying to be cool and play a 7 year old game like countercrap GO and get 200fps with 240hz monitor. i bet you guys any money most people with 240hz monitors still get raped with people playing on 60hz. at a certain point the extra speed dont matter
What va u have?
@@WolfetoneRebel1916 it does lmao
I know I’m late but I want everyone new to gaming to know that having a 60hz monitor absolutely positively DOES NOT limit your FPS to 60. If your FPS is greater than HZ then there will be slight screen tear, vice versa there will be slight stuttering. If they’re synced up there will be slight input lag, unless you have a fancy monitor with g-sync or free-sync.
peasent
hgff mikimmon my monitor has free sync but I have an nvidia card
Can confirm this I dealt with screen tearing for a very long time with my 60hz monitor but the input lag would go away. If I synced up with vsync or otherwise capped the fps limit, the screen tearing would disappear but input lag became very noticeable.
It DOES limit fps. You can't get 400 fps on a 60 hz screen
PLS / IPS / AH-IPS - Best color accuracy. Typically paired with 2K or 4K resolutions. Suited for graphic design.
VA - Middle ground. Better contrast ratio than IPS and TN. Typically paired with HDR. Suited for media centre (e.g. TV).
TN - Fast and cheap. Standard quality of color and contrast. Typically paired with high refresh rates (e.g. 120Hz-144Hz). Suited for gaming and basic computing.
MSI Optix Monitors are amazing. Mine is the MAG24C, VA 144hz and freesync. I literaly cant ask for more, its simply perfect.
I am planning to get one in the next few days, is it really that good?, is their any ghosting or bleeding?, how does it compare to other monitors with the same price?, and how is the input lag?, sorry for my numerous questions just trying to not waste money here you know xD, have a great day

@Nex Wex 2 1ms is a just advertising trick. most of the time its going to be 3ms average even on the best monitor and same goes for the best response time ips panel they say 4ms but average is 5ms. so buy what you want but a 2ms difference there is not a person in the world that can see that.
IPS 165Hz =)
Ips panels get image burn in no?
Va is best Price to Performance
Thank you, this helped me pick my next monitor. Looks like my needs are viewing angle and colors, so I'll go with an IPS.
TN was the most affordable option for me because I wanted 1440p 144hz G-sync. The one I have from Asus has pretty good colours once you calibrate it.
Tubeless i have the same haha
can u tell me the model of it? im searching for similiar monitor rn
@@maybe3241 I linked it below for you. Pretty sure he is talking about the same one I have.
Tubeless I’ve switched from the tn version to the ips. Mostly because i has a color banding issue. It is better but I wouldn’t say amazingly better, just better. The cool thing about it was I didn’t have to calibrate it. It looked good right when I turned it on. There is some backlight bleed, but not much to fuss over about. Besides is only really noticeable during dark/black scenes. Other than that, great monitor 👍🏻
Thanks for this lesson. Learned a new lesson today.
Great comparison rundown. Thanks!
2008: My first LCD TN monitor SAMSUNG 923NW..Better than CRT monitor..
2017: I'll get a VA since I'm on a budget..Better than TN monitor..
2019: Maybe in the future I'll upgrade and get a IPS monitor once the price goes down..
2030: Need to upgrade, but what to do with all of these old monitors? FML.

I found IPS the best for doing photographic and video work, or simply viewing. I found TN to be best for having speed, but viewing angle is more critical.
I have TN and VA panel,for me they all good,but VS has better field angle.
Most important is 120hz++.

And i went from TN 144hz to VA super ultrawide with 120hz, and the colors are stronger and more alive, i didn't feel too much decrease in input lag, and my CRG90's HDR1000 really made games come alive as well.
VA 144 1440p hands down

The human eye can only see 60 videos on yt a day
good thing i have two of them
Old video, new comment. I tried going from a TN monitor to a VA monitor playing rocket league and Call of Duty and my god. The blur on my monitor feels like I'm constantly playing with motion blur, even on the 'extreme' setting of the MSI monitor. Granted, I'm going to try more before I decide, but in case anyone is in the same situation, watch out.
I have a Dell S2716DG which is a pretty badass monitor, known for it's high response rate. It's perfect for high paced games, but my god, it's difficult to move on from it since nothing quite matches it as far as I'm aware in response time.
I noticed the same going from an ips (60hz) ---> VA (165hz) so I went back to the ips it looked faster and smoother
Got a VA-panel for a friend on Black Friday. 1440p@144hz and 1ms.! Comparing to my 1080p@120hz 1ms right now. :)
I was just about to search about this and YT sent it to me in the Recommendation
IPS for casual (like to look at the great graphics )
TN for competitive gaming (cheap to hit 144hz + and low response time. (Bad colors tho)
VA-mix of both I think. Wasn’t paying attention
TN is for broke boys
unluckily, 144 VA more expensive then 144 TN in my country
3:27 is best reaction. so familiar
Thank you 🧡
IPS monitors can reach 1 ms nowadays tho but idk if it's that big of a deal anyway
Great video. THank you for all the information
I LOVE YOU 😍 👌🏼 Explanations is excellent
For me VA works the best...and i have tried all of them
Yes for me too
I think va are the best ones , can’t stand the glowing on ips and tn.
Yup , i using BenQ GW2470 ( VA Panel ) . :3
VA are great monitors if you dont mind smearing in darker scenes i had HP LP2275w and it was amazing upgrade from TN panel both color and dark representation.
Now i moved to IPS panel and i can say colors are even better (not as much jump as TN to VA but still better)
IPS glow... yeah i dont mind it if i dont look for it as only one corner glows in about 1x2 cm and only while sitting at 60cm from screen and if i look at middle i already see corners as ambient out of focus range so i dont mind it. I sometimes get disgusted by it while boring cinematics or loading screens but thats not big deal.
Response time are much better in darker sceenes but black is more of very dark grey color which for some reason dont bother me even though i loved blacks on VA.
Viewing angles depends on lotery mine screen has like 179 degree from righ side without any glow and like 45 degree from left before glow is bad.
I would say if you play in bright room and dont play much horror games IPS > VA if you play in dark room without light VA > IPS. I actually tried both side by side and now i got used to IPS response time VA sort of feels like playing with motion blur (funnily enought i did not see it before while i only had VA monitor)
Having used them all as well any Samsung VA = Worth it.
Upgraded to an ips from a tn panel and i can safely say i am never going back.
va is the best
@Alex I No they do not lol. The colors are much much more vibrant no matter where you look at it. Now that IPS refresh rates and response times are just as good as TN specs the only argument for TN is the price point which is a valid argument.
IPS looks best TN is better for competitive games, VA is the 3rd wheel.
VA looks better then IPS imo
TopShot501st VA looks better if you’re sitting in front of your monitor

@Manu Deadskinmask Indeed, hands down best monitor if you are either lucky or dong mind going through several RMAs, when you get perfect piece TN looks like color TV from 1980 in comparison.
Nope ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q. Much better panel.
@NovaDoll hope you are trolling becouse those panels are identical but Acer has better quality controll. There is only one 1440p 165 Hz IPS panel manufacturing.
I recently got an aw2518h at 1/3 cheaper than that Acer, got to say i don't regret getting it.
Not saying that the Acer is bad, only that opinions and style of using it depends from person to person so what is best for you might not have same worth to someone else.
I have owned all of these panels... I now have a VA panel. I bought it cos it had a great 240hz and i regret.. If you ask my opinion, go for IPS panel in every situation. Becuase IPS panels are much more vivid. The other things like refresh rate etc, it really dont matter except some extreme cases.
Great vid, tho response time is not really about what you notice yourself, its about being fastest, if you have 5ms response time and your enemy has 1ms your effectively 4ms behind, which in an fps can mean the difference between winnen or loosing the fight
Thanks, just picked up a VIOTEK GFT27DB 27” TN flat. 1440p 144hz 1ms.

Acer Predator XB271HU IPS 165hz 👍
Im planning to buy it in the future. Do u have any small problems with it or should i go for it?
It's one of the best gaming monitors you can get. The only thing that I can remark on is the built in speakers which are really bad, but that's should not be a deal breaker as most people uses headphones while gaming or have a real sound system for listening music.
Thanks. And btw what about the TN pannel? Theres also the xb271hu i think. Its the same specs with IPS should i get that one or it isnt worth the extra money? The IPS is like 567 dollars now i think
@monster master IPS colors are on whole different level, you wont belive until you see it but there is some IPS glow in 95% of cases. So it depends:
1) are you extra competitive FPS player (i mean like top 5%) go TN
2) do you play in totally dark room and play a lot of extremely dark games (like Outlast) go VA
3) if those two dont apply IPS 100%
I owned all three technologies over time and i have to say all of them suck one way or another its all about compromises but the IPS is most universal one if you dont mind having some bias ligh near monitor.
Obese Omar ASUS PG 279Q IPS 165hz👍🏼
I will stick with my 4K IPS 60FPS for as long as the monitor will work. If it breaks in 2019, I will still choose a 4K IPS and if it breaks in 2030 I will get an OLED 4K monitor (if they will have it at a good price ahahhaa)
Honestly ips panels are famous for backlight bleed. I owned monitors with all 3 types of panels and va is by far the best option in my opinion.
@Jim I have switched from a 32" curved VA to a 32" IPS and I prefer backlight bleed rather than smearing. I hated it, everything was unenjoyable: web, desktop, gaming. Poor blacks only show when your whole monitor is displaying blacks, which it rarely does, so it's okay.

I just got the MSI Optix MAG271CV 27'' 144hz VA panel, And it's amazing! There is only very little backlight bleed. Only during night sometimes noticeable, but not a dealbreaker.
Very informative. Thanks for the help.
Also, isn't 1ms just a selling point? cause 1ms is only grey to grey. colors are usually more, like 4 or 5ms

TN = Favors High Response time and high refresh rate but had bad image quality
VA = In between Is better then tn when it come to quality and has a better refresh rate then IPS BUT can have very bad response time

From this and a few other videos, I actually prefer the colour and contrast on the VA panels compared to IPS.
Not sure exactly why but maybe IPS seems too saturated in colour to me while VA looks more natural. Gotta test this out in person...

So I got tired of watching reviews and did something crazy, I bought two 21:9 monitors same size, Hz, and resolution. Only diff was one was VA and the other IPS. Duplicated RDR2 on them so i could do a real time comparison.
IPS: Amazing colors, world looked "real". Sunsets and sunrises awesome. Bad side was poor contrast ratio with blacks looking grey. I have an LG OLED TV so I really notice the IPS "grey" but alas there are no true OLED monitors, probably due to burn in.
VA: Colors were "ok" but did not have the full range, vibrancy and depth of IPS. This alone ruined the otherwise beautiful open world game. It was as if VA panel had no ambient occlusion setting if you know what I mean. One thing it was better at was night scenes as the contrast ratio was better. I just couldn't get over how "cartoonish" the world looked on VA. When people say VA looks 'washed out", I now get what they mean. I can't stress this enough, you can't see this on TH-cam and it makes all the difference in gaming. The other major issue with VA was ghosting and poor viewing angles, which matters even on monitors because curved 21:9 monitors that are VA don't have good image uniformity like IPS curved do.
Summary: IMHO, VA and TN panels are not good for AAA open world games played at 60FPS. Stick with OLED or IPS for gaming as they "pop" with life and can produce all the colors the developer wanted. My personal set-up now is 3440x1440p IPS 21:9 LG, at this "2k" resolution I get 55-70FPS on most AAA games on high/ultra (i7 3770k @ 4.5ghz OC + 1070ti).

My son (age 6) and I, play BFV on PS4 and PS4 Pro respectively. He uses a 1080p, 60Hz, 1ms, TN monitor, and I use a 1440p, 144Hz, 5ms, IPS monitor, which on the PS4 Pro drops to 60Hz and up scales the resolution to 4K - with HDR on. The two of us consistently finish TDM matches in the top 5, with numerous 1st and 2nd placement. My point is: it’s more the player than the monitor. These manufacturers got us all confused, and fighting over which monitor to buy. People are pulling out their hair trying to navigate through this sea of marketing confusion. Although the information presented in this video is accurate, it’s important to note that the only time the type of monitor is relevant is at the professional level, where all the players are exceptional, and the hardware becomes critical to the success of the player. At our level, our first person shooter performance has little to do with the monitor we are using.
