I've mostly exclusively used IPS since I upgraded from my TN panel but I found this monitor and it seems like a good deal. However it has a VA panel, do you think it's worth it? Also is 1440p at 32" still good?

 

The monitor I was considering before I found the Omen was this. Granted it's 4K but yeah. How do they compare value-wise?

To no one's surprise, Samsung is rather vague about what they mean by "IPS". AUO, for whatever reason, named their variant AHVA, which only serves to confuse people into thinking it's a VA-type panel (Vertical Alignment, a very different technology compared to IPS). Whether that was intentional or not it's hard to say, but it seems unlikely the name would make it all the way through the pipeline and be approved without anyone realizing it sounds like a type of VA panel.

Do you have an AMD GPU to pair with its freesync?

I'm on the planning stages atm but yes will most likely get a Vega GPU. I'm also considering this monitor.

Well VA is still an upgrade over TN panels so it looks like a good deal.

That's more expensive and you will be losing 75hz.

Great, although IMO 4k is a bit of a waste at 27 inches other people swear by it.

So 1440p is not a waste at 32"?

I have played on 75hz before and it's not really much of a difference for me, besides I'm not much of an FPS gamer besides maybe Overwatch.
