Is ips needed?

Title says it

No, title does not say it.

 

Needed for what? in what scenario?

LOTS more context needed.

No. Or yes. Or no.

 

 

 

Depends on you're usage. IPS generally provides better colour accuracy and viewing angles than TN.

IPS is a screen technology. all it does is display what the PC gives it. screens cannot make your game more or less smooth (unless they are operating at different refresh rates, i.e. 60Hz, 144Hz, 30Hz, etc.)

in short, no. IPS will not show images any smoother than a TN. it will, however, be much more color accurate and have better viewing angles than a TN panel.

The only (real world) advantages i find with IPS is a 'guarantee' of amazing viewing angles, and its color reproduction capabilities, which in darker games is often more a curse than it is an aid. (Because the darks really are darks, maybe more than the devs intended)

It depends on the situation. You need to give more information.

Does it help fps/response time.

No. IPS provides much better color reproduction and viewing angles. It usually brings slower response times as well.

 

The monitor you get won't affect your FPS with the exception of the resolution of said monitor.
