IPS vs TN Gaming

[zlolslavez]

I currently am running an HP 2159M I believe (it's the monitor on my profile), and it's a pretty average TN panel with a 5 ms response time. But for whatever reason, the computer at my parent's business that hosts their survelience is a S2240M, an IPS monitor, which is displaying 480p/360p footage. However, it has a response time of 7 ms (this doesn't matter for the current setup it's in). Would it be worth to switch these monitors, and use the 7ms IPS monitor at home if I have gaming in mind?

I don't think the response time would matter, but check the refresh rate of both monitors. IPS panels usually don't have as high of a refresh rate as TN panels.

edit :oops lol

 

yes both are 60 HZ.

7 ms is still decent, but not optimal. Why not try it, I suppose

The other guy was talking about how there are barely any IPS panels with a higher refresh rate than 60.

Pretty sure they are both 60Hz panels

It shouldn't make a difference unless you are a professional gamer.

I have 2 monitors (the u2414h 8ms reponse time and a s22d300 with 5ms) and i really cant tell a difference

The difference that i can tell IS THE DARN COLORS GET IPS MAN IT IS WORTH IT

Response time doesn't really tell you much, so I wouldn't judge anything based on that.

Unless you are a SUPER competitive gamer, get an IPS monitor. They just look SO much better than TN for everything else, and the slightly longer response time is negligible at most.

would be nice if people actually knew what this "response time" actually is...  on top of how this "gtg" is measured

 

 

 

 

see the sticky on top of this section or look into sites like blurbusters.com if you really want to know shit

The colors are absolutely worth it. I have two dell monitors in front of me, one TN, one IPS. I barely use the TN one, because I can't stand switching from the IPS to the TN...
