IPS is the best nowadays that response times are really good because your image quality is superior to TN but TN is cheaper and easier to deal with so budget 144hz~165hz monitors still uses it.

Basically;

 

TN = Fast response times and pretty cheap. On the downside, viewing angles are poor and color accuracy pales alongside contrast.

 

IPS = Much better viewing angles and well-calibrated models have excellent color reproduction and accuracy. Response times are slightly slower and it can be pricier depending on model.

 

Generally, if you want the best, go IPS. Current generation panels have improved response times and the image quality will be the best of the different LCD panel types. If you're on a budget however, a solid TN panel is alright, but you have to sit right in the middle to make the most of it.

Ips has better colors and viewing angles, so if you also do photography/ graphic design work ips is a must. If you only play games you may benefit from better viewing angles, idk.

Thank you for this informative reply :)

 

Otaku and proud!

What the others said.. IPS has better colors and viewing angles, while TN is faster.

TN has a lower response time (the time it takes the display to 'draw' a new image on the screen) which makes it more fit for higher refresh rate gaming. 1ms vs. 5ms is not important with 60 frames per second, but it is with 144+ frames per second. Lower response time in that case will give you 'ghosting', which is an older frame being on screen partially when a new image is drawn already, giving for example moving characters a ghost-like edge around then.
