1440p TN+WVA in Alienware 17 laptop.

Just curious for some info from some of you videophiles out there. I just ordered an Alienware 17 gaming laptop to take on the road with me for work (hotel rooms are boring and I’m gone four days a week). I’m working towards getting a YouTube channel off the ground sometime later this year or sometime next year. Being that I’m out of town most of the week, I will be relying on this system as my mobile video rig. I custom configured mine to top spec as it is a gaming first laptop for me. I wanted a higher resolution panel and a high refresh rate, so I opted for the 1440p 120Hz TN+WVA panel. The other two options were a 1080p 60Hz IPS and a 4K 60Hz IPS. The kicker is, the only panel with 100% coverage of the sRGB spectrum was the 4K panel, otherwise the 1080p IPS and the 1440p TN+WVA only cover 72%. I am by no means an expert here, so I am reaching out. Should I be able to do most of my work on this panel without issue? I hear some people say TN has come a long way and isn’t as limited as it used to be, and then I also hear from the diehard IPS guys that say otherwise. Any input is appreciated.

Mostly just PC build videos and tech reviews. I wouldn’t think so.
