Btw Jesa what brand/model of IPS you have?

Dell U2311H

[SPACER]

Dell U2311H

Thats a cheap E-IPS 6-bit its not better in anyway from TN except viewing angle... if u want IPS get true 8-bit or there is no point of getting laggy 60hz screen. Presonly i have Samsung S27A950 and i never would go on a 60hz or any delays/lags. Since i use monitor mostly for gaming i do not consider other options than a high-end TN.

well ips have best color reproduction, colors and blacks(compared with VA) are inferior on TNs

Well doc IPS is a wide range and u rly think u buy economy class E-IPS and u get all the best?
Yes 8-bit panels have the "best" reproduction and colours. 6-bit E-IPS has same ammount of colours than TN since its also 6-bit, only thing you would get better is viewing angle rest is far better on a TN even black levels.

[doctorfunk]

that's a good point
As you said you care for games so high end TN is best option, especially if you already have a TV. No Panel is good for everything.

While reading posts here and googling more and more info about panels, I guess a modern VA will be perfect for me. Modern VA & IPS have minimal ghosting so it will be good for games too. I hope it will be significantly better for NBA games and movies.

generally the difference between IPS/TN and VA should be smth like this (ips left, va right)



but maybe i should just get a tv lolz
but then i'd have to buy homecinema too and other stuff too, cause I don't have anything for a tv

Even though they both share 6-bit color depth, E-IPS has better color accuracy than TN + better viewing angles.

If I was a serious gamer, I'd get a 120Hz TN display. Else I would go for IPS or even E-IPS instead of TN. You won't notice any delay/lag with 60Hz unless your eyes are used to 120Hz. And if I recall correctly, Doc wasn't serious about gaming and there's no advantage with 120Hz over 60Hz while watching movies that run ~24 fps.

What made you go with Samsung in the 120Hz category? I know theyre ghosting free and produce awesome colours but they have higher input lag than asus or benq i think

I've bought BenQ gw2750hm for 233euro (948zł)

I had a stuck pixel For this panel the manufacturer was willing to replace it if I had at least 5 stuck/dead pixels lol. Fortunately we have liberal law for buying via internet,
you can return undamaged product if you notify the seller within 10days and then you have 14days to send it back. I told them basically, give me another panel or I'll just ask for my money back
It worked, and now I have a pretty awesome panel dead pixel free panel (though I had to send it back at my own expense =12euro).

It's closer to a TV than to a Monitor(at least compared to craptops and small tns). I can sit on my couch and watch a movie from 3m away. Colors on the default setting are awful but after playing around with OSD helped a lot. Haven't played any fast paced games yet, so I can't say nothing about delay. It should be comparable to modern ips panels so completely acceptable for a sunday gamer that i've become.

[The Situation]

doctor i had benq too with pixel shit, just massage it(dont know word hahahah) with ur thumb and it will go away

[doctorfunk]

it was a persistent pixel, trust me I fingered it thoroughly ;D

[The Situation]

it was a persistent pixel, trust me I fingered it thoroughly ;D

[doctorfunk]
