I've used a TN panel all my life and I've read that its colors and viewing angles are nowhere near in comparison to a TN panel. So I thought of investing in a good IPS monitor. The XB270HU since it'll be a considerable jump for me considering I've always gamed at 1080p and 60Hz.
Then I came across the terms Backlight bleed and IPS glow. These bright yellow glows across the corners of screens and people seem to be fine with it. They say it's one of the few nuances of using a TN panel. How can people be ok with a big glow in the corners while gaming where usually that comprises of the minimap, inventory slot etc?
Some of them say that if you're really lucky, you will get a panel with no glow. How the hell am I supposed to make an investment of such huge proportions on a product that is not even guaranteed to deliver.
In other videos I see this particular monitor hailed as the best monitor out there.
TL,DR: Please, is an IPS panel worth the risk of an IPS glow/backlight bleed or should I just stick to a similar spec TN panel?
