Dell TN or AOC IPS 1440

[knightslugger]

Looking at these two g-sync monitors: 

 

Dell S2716DG $600usd TN technology 144hz

AOC AG271QG $750usd IPS technology 165hz

 

Now I'm not a competitive gamer by any stretch. I'm more into immersion and vivid colors. For the extra $150usd do you believe the AOC is a worthwhile investment?

Yep, it's worth it IMO. I'd take IPS over TN any day.

IIRC IPS has been kind of a lottery for 1440p 144hz but idk if that's just with Asus and Acer.

 

If you can go for the IPS

that dell monitor is actually one of the better TN panels for a monitor. when calibrated it's very close to IPS
