What's your experience with these two monitor types? After owning TN products my whole life and using them for entertainment, art and gaming I bought my first IPS expecting myself to be able to transition easily but I'm having a very hard time. From what I understand IPS is more of a "true" color yet my eyes are really missing the slight blue hue that TN provided, it's fucking me up hardcore, have you had a similar experience and what do you prefer?
IPS vs TN monitors

IPS is vastly superior to TN.

I am still on TN myself with two PG278Q monitors. I tried the PG279Q, but found the IPS glow was just too glaring in dark rooms when doing something dark. I think I will try again soon since the technology has changed a little bit due to HDR, but I still am wary.

Considering the varience of quality in either of those. I don't really care anymore. My last screen I bought was going to to the store and tested everyone available. Turned out I liked a TN the most. So the topic is quite subjective and there won't be any 'better' than the other anytime soon, other than a too cheap screen is mostly shit regardless.

I hate twitter. Why is it so popular?

In the end just use whatever works for you. There are nice TN panels nowadays.
I prefer IPS because any color shift means I have to adjust to way I sit and look at the screen.

set the color temperature to the higher number
This is largely a setting you change to get better more accurate color vs lighting in the room.
as for me, I went from tn to va, it still has some of the issues of tn, like viewing angles, however it has so much contrast that my biggest issues, even if they are the same issues, go from being I cant see half the monitor when its a dark screen because the contrast shifted, to the contrast got worse sure, but it still better then ips by a few miles.
color wise, im able to clearly see the difference between
180 180 180 and 182 182 182, and am able to see a difference of 181 180 180 but this isn't as easy to see, going into 10bit, there is a clear difference, but you have to have media that shows the difference, it doesn't make a big difference in a more normal scene (10bit tech demo showing it off, vs 10 bit movie)
wait 2-3 years if you can
a new hdmi standard made hdmi more desirable then displayport if only because you can guarantee the cables will work, along with every manufacture trying to get 4000 cd/m2 as that's what dolbyhdr is mastered to. monitor/tv quality is rapidly changing because of this and you will get something great if you wait.
If you cant, I suggest tcl 615/617
tn panels of today are about as good as ips of 5 years ago, the problem is the viewing angles and the contrast issue where if you look at them from any angle that inst head on, if you look from above or below, even a little, that fucks contrast hard.
va, you can get very use to colors being off, but va offeres you contrast, something that every 500 points is a noticeable difference, and when ips does 1000 but va does 5000-7000 native, its not even a question.
contrast is king in perceived image quality.

no, I don't miss TN.
I'm not opposed to it completely (all my laptops + secondary monitor have them and its fine)

people like to pretend they matter

Sounds promising OP, worth the wait.
