monitor IPS vs VA vs TN monitor for gaming

[FranciscoGuarda]

Hey guys, I'm trying to decide what monitor to buy but found out that there are the 3 types of monitors. IPS, VA and TN. I saw a lot of videos comparing them but I still don't no what to choose. I don't think I wold buy a TN panel because of the quality reproducing the colors. I was thinking about buying a VA monitor but I'm afraid I have problems with ghosting, as a lot of people say. First I was going for an IPS monitor but the response times and the blacks are better on A VA monitor so I don't know. Please help me. Answer me as fast as you can, I need to buy one quickly because I need to work. Thanks.

Wich models, size, resolution, refresh rate  are we talking?

How much do you do work and how much time is spend gaming on this monitor

VA is the in between option. It's what went with mostly for price and had the refresh rate and response time like my older 1080p TN did.

 

A lot of people complain about motion blur and/or ghosting. I don't really notice it or see it when gaming or media, but I'm sure some people may be more sensitive to it than I am.

 

I do like my VA cause I don't notice much bad about it. It's just for gaming watch media. Gaming looks great to me.

IPS and VA response times have gotten better, especially on more expensive monitors.

Personally I switched last month from a TN panel to a IPS and the black levels blew my mind, granted I haven't used a VA monitor.

You might have seen this already, but It's a good introduction video to the differences.

Here are some monitors you might want to consider.

For the love of god, do not get a VA panel for gaming, the ghosting will drive you crazy! I tried both cheap and expensive ones with high frequenzy rates, its awful even when reading text on a white background. IPS is good if you get one with no backlight bleed,  had a HP 27w monitor with ips panel, black looked glowy gray, and yellow spots of light littered the sides of the panel, contrast was awful with this one. TN panel has fastest display, no blacklight bleed, no ghosting, and gaming monitors today tend to have every single color/contrast option to get it look as best a TN possibly can.

I have a VG Samsung LC27HG70 and its perfectly fine. No gohosting noticeable even in Doom eternal on 144FPS Fresync HDR

Depends on what you mainly care for. Do you mostly play single player games or online. If not multiplayer games IPS would be great, maybe VA for cheaper.

I really don't know, a lot of people tlak about ghosting on a VA panel but other say that they never had problems with it... It's hard so choose. I found a IPS panel similar to a VA panel that had previously chose but the IPS panel is a bit more expensive and I don't think I can spend much more on a monitor based on my budget. I don't think I would like a TN panel based on every review I saw about them, everyone says the colors are washed and horrible.

I play both, single and multi-player games, and would use it also for media. I saw an IPS panel similar to a VA that I had previously chose but it was I little bit more expensive and I don't think I can spend much more on a monitor based on my budget.

Well I guess choose if you want a better looking IPS or a VA for cheaper, depends on price you're after.

I'll work and play a lot. I thinking on a 1080p, 144Hz and 1ms refresh rate monitor. I saw 2 monitors that caught my attention but you can recommend others if you think I can get a better one with a similar price:

Around 200 euros. Recommend me a monitor if you can, pls.

I'd take AOC 24G2U (not the 24G2U5 which is 75Hz) IPS, though 6-bit+FRC but that's not too noticable. Also C24G1 is a good VA monitor.

I was going for the C24G1 but I'm not sure yet. Thanks for the help!

Thanks bro, do you think an IPS on this budget would be better rather than one of these you sent me?

Yeah they'd be fine. Better colors overall and viewing angles while VA may be better for darker scenes.

Thanks, I'll see them. I saw some comparisons on youtube of IPS vs VA but I got mixed thoughts, I like the dark scenes on the VA but the colors seem more accurate on the IPS, and some VAs panels colors seemed a little bit orange. I don't know. Also seeing a video is not the same thing as seeing in person.
