Help with laptop display(s)

Quintone · May 17, 2015

Hello,

I'm looking at buying a new laptop, with a secondary use of gaming, and I've run into a bit of trouble. I have gotten myself down to a single computer, the ASUS ROG GL551, but then when I look at the spec's of it, there is a TN and IPS version of it. I know that TM is better for gaming due to ISP producing an image some 8-however many milliseconds behind. I'm not a huge FPS gamer, but I would like a competitive edge, should I ever decide to focus it. Currently playing MOBA games like LoL

Any recommendations on which one I should get?

Is there a site that has the display lag of these laptops?

TM and ISP? You mean TN and IPS?

For MOBAs and stuff like that, hands down IPS. The one with IPS also has an SSD.

IPS>TN

Current IPS models are close enough in ms (5-10) that they are just hands down better. In a online game your ping is likely going to be significantly higher than the screen delay so don't worry about it.
