New monitor: TN or IPS?

For this game and Skyrim/SE VA.

 

VA panels have higher contrast than TN & IPS panels. Only IPS HDR panels have better contrast but they are very expensive.

 

VA panels are also perfect for ENB since interiors can get too dark using it.

All these techs, in their latest form, can be pretty good. Long gone are the days when it was 'active' vs 'passive'. Indeed the buzzwords today describing LCD tech are pretty meaningless.

 

Instead look at ther REVIEWS of models you consider with respect to the type of gaming you like. And take into account your preference for room lighting. A given display works quite differently in the dark vs a well lit room.

 

By the way, the manufacturing methods used to make displays today are all pretty neutral. The idea that one good display tech is inherently more expensive than another (for given size and resolution) is false. So really a good gaming display, no matter what its supposed tech, is tweaked to do better under a given set of circumstances.

 

And many tricks are used by the driving electronics to FAKE supposed actions by LCD that the LCD cells literally cannot do in reality. Many of these tricks focus on 'blurring' cause by LCD latency. And these algorithms have different degrees of acceptability to different people (like the 'rainbox' effect on micro-mirror projectors that some people swear they always see, yet the majority of us train our eyes to NEVER notice again after the first few hours of use).

 

I'd say ANY well reviewed GAMING monitor using any tech is good enough for the vast majority of people. But if you are a 144MHz nut, or an "I always see rainbows on TI's micromirror tech projectors" person, or a "the blacks, the blacks- I cannot believe the blacks" type- then you need to find reviews written by someone with the SAME tastes as yourself.
