TN Troubles?

[Ben Miller]

Hey Guys,

 

So I recently bought Ghost Recon Wildlands and was, therefore, playing it on my shitty (Very) 1080p TN panel/TV. I noticed even on the Ultra preset the trees looked absolutely appalling. So I went on my MacBook Pro (2560x1600 IPS) and watched a 1080p video of Ghost Recon Wildlands. The trees looked fantastic as I expected from such a new game. So I started to wonder is the quality of my 1080p panel just terrible, and if I upgraded to a higher quality TN 1080p MONITOR (An ASUS VG245H is what I was planning on getting) the trees would look like they did on my Mac. I also thought, being a higher resolution, YouTube would somehow upscale the 1080p video to match the resolution of my Mac and creating the tree quality I was after. But I though YouTube was meant to decrease the video quality from the original video for compression. Do I have an issue with trees, or is it something to do with the two resolutions? This may affect my purchase of my next monitor. 

 

Thanks

Make sure the color range is set to full and not limited. And there are a ton of settings you can tweak on a TV. Like HDMI black level, contrast, dynamic contrast, etc.

Thanks I'll have a look. I believe you're overestimating the TV.

 

I've got:

Contrast

brightness

colour

sharpness

colour temp

Noise Reduction?

 

That's it

TN panels will not match the color reproduction of an IPS panel, the same as a 6-bit IPS panel cannot match the colors of a true 8-bit IPS panels.

Would that affect the overall texture quality in any way?

Not really.

How big is the screen you play on?

Contrast and limited colorrange.

 

And that's pretty limited in terms of features.
