Life expectation of IPS vs TN monitors?

[crsahkaz]

My TN monitor just died (Samsung S22D300), lasted about 3-4 years.

 

Trying to get a new one, but not sure if IPS can last longer or not (yes, I am fine with TN colors).

Just trying to get it on a budget. 60fps is fine for me (PC is RX 580 + Ryzen 3600).

Not a high fps gamer or anything. 1080p is my normal use.

 

Currently looking at these 2 so far (I haven't explored all available options)

ViewSonic VA2418-SH

LG 22MK600 / LG 24MK600

I don't think anyone is going to be able to give you an answer there. 

 

I have an expensive IPS and a really cheap TN both still in use bought new in 2009. Both work fine. 

 

You had an anomaly, that is all and it doesn't speak to "how long TN's last" in any way as anything could die unexpectedly. 

 

All you can do is buy a well reviewed model from a respected brand, that's it.

What's the problem?

LCD screen can last you very long time, if the screen is not damaged.

From my experience TN or IPS got nothing to do with the lifetime.

Ah, well my PSU did die last week lol

This is how my monitor looks like now

its more reasonable to assume which is more durable in terms of physical endurance when dropping off the table

Would this be fixable? 

If yes I might just take it to a repair shop or something first. Warranty's long past due already anyway.

beyond my capabilities, if there were at least some lines, it could point on a faulty inverter but that seems serious

Hmm alright, I guess that ought to get a new thread instead then.

Made a new thread for it.

 

Will still leave this open in case anyone got anything else to add

I'd never go back to TN, even if it didn't last as long.

However, it doesn't matter which one you go for. It doesn't affect longevity.

dunno about the comparison but the 3-4 monitors ips from around 2010 still works afaik, i've had 3 samsung tvs die within the last 15 years~, i've personally stopped buying samsung stuff but hey, it's been a long time.
