Cheap IPS VS Premium 120hz TN Monitor

The saying "Once you go IPS, you'll never look back." created doubts and concerns so for that matter I brought up the thread. Obviously I would go for a high end IPS over TN as the benefits of premium rich colors, textures and overall display quality would outweigh the advantages of 144hz by a...

Cheap IPS VS Premium 120hz TN Monitor

Hi, What's better for someone with a $230 budget, get a cheap IPS panel or a premium TN panel with 120-144hz for gaming. My preference is Picture Quality (Vivid colors, sharpness but not viewing angles) but I need to know the marginal difference in terms of color/picture quality between these 2...

1440p Worth over the reduction in FPS ?

I prefer IPS > Refresh Rate since I'm not a competitive FPS hardcore gamer. And I agree with you on not getting the Qnix, it's not a quality display. What monitors do you have in mind regardless of the budget ? The Rog Swift seems to be a very good monitor but it's a TN display.

1440p Worth over the reduction in FPS ?

The games I play are mostly rpg, racing and openworld. So won't an IPS be a better route compared to 144 hz TN? let alone 1440p or 1080p. I place high emphasis on color and picture quality. And I have a limited budget ($270 USD) so the GSync is out for me.

Budget IPS Monitor for Gaming

It appears high refresh rates (TN monitors) are best for people who play very competitive fps games. The type of games I play (mentioned above) don't really need that much of a rate but color picture quality would be a better way to go. They say once you go ips, you'll never come back. I...
