Posted December 1, 2015 Yeah, pretty much. Then can look OK when viewed straight on but are still noticeably worse than IPS. Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary. if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2015 It's all about personal preference. IPS generally delivers much better colors than a TN witht he trade off of a lower refresh rate and response time. If you absolutely need 144HZ and a 1ms response time, get a TN otherwise, I would suggest ips. i5-4690k@4.5GHz || MSI GTX 970 || MSI z97 Gaming 5 || NZXT Kraken x61 || WD Black 1TB || Crucial MX100 || 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro || Corsair RM750 || NZXT H440 || Corsair k70 RGB mx browns || Acer H236HL || ViewSonic VX2255wm-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2015 Depends, some TN are pretty decent, just IPS expect a low end IPS panel to compare to a high end TN, if its a fantastic IPS panel, then the TN probably doesn't compare. Reviews are the way to go when you've got your choice down To a few choices. i7-6700k Cooling: Deepcool Captain 240EX White GPU: GTX 1080Ti EVGA FTW3 Mobo: AsRock Z170 Extreme4 Case: Phanteks P400s TG Special Black/White PSU: EVGA 850w GQ Ram: 64GB (3200Mhz 16x4 Corsair Vengeance RGB) Storage 1x 1TB Seagate Barracuda 240GBSandisk SSDPlus, 480GB OCZ Trion 150, 1TB Crucial NVMe (Rest of Specs on Profile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2015 The colors aren't the greatest on TN monitors . But Id choose 144hz tn over any 60hz ips, since I'm very competitive.. Cant wait for IPS 144HZ to come down in price.

Posted December 1, 2015 Go IPS Or go home, often in a TN panel you'll find a faster GTG time, between 1-2ms where IPS will pretty much always be 5ms, however that 3ms difference is almost impossible to tell apart- the only other times a TN panel is better is if you need a really high refresh rate for competitive gaming. However the better color accuracy and often solid features of a monitor featuring a IPS panel make it the far better option.

Posted December 1, 2015 This is on sale right now and is an excellent monitor for 1080p. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260174&cm_re=U2414H-_-24-260-174-_-Product You can save some by spending less and getting close panel quality, but this one has the thin bezels and fancy stand. 5800X3D - RTX 4070 - 2K @ 165Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2015 I think it really depends on the quality of the TN. I found a guide recently on how to correct the Gamma and other settings on my ROG swift recently, and it looks REALLY close to my ips pb278Q now. Almost identical. Obviously it doesn't have the viewing angles, but if I'm at my pc I'm always looking directly at it anyways.

Posted December 1, 2015 This is all based on personally preference... my friend uses 60hz TN 5ms monitor and still able to reach global elite before the ban waves. Magical Pineapples
