Thanks Jow Forums and reddit (what's the difference) for conning me into getting an IPS monitor.
>same color accuracy as TN >at least 10x worse ghosting >low refresh rate
What a piece of shit. There is absolutely no reason to buy an IPS monitor in 2018.
>muh color accuracy >muh viewing angles
My brand new IPS is basically indistinguishable from my Acer XF240H - one of the worst monitors currently available in terms of color accuracy. It also is essentially the same as my 10+ year old Asus VH236H, except for brightness because the 236's backlight is extremely old and dim.
And the ghosting is *fucking* horrific. It's absolutely terrible. It reminds me of the old LCD monitor my grandma had in 2003.
My Dell UltraSharp is an IPS panel, and its fucking gorgeous. Its a clear cut above what I was using prior, big enough a difference that I'd have a hard time considering anything else but another UltraSharp. That being said the newest TN panels aren't anywhere near as bad as they used to be. The same goes for IPS panels too. There are IPS panels with fast response times and low input latency. There are TN panels with great color accuracy.
Apart from my UltraSharp fanboyism the only other panels I'd really consider are VAs from Samsung.
