I'm sure I'm just unlucky, but this pretty crap QA for what I'm assuming are LG screens internally. Hate to send them both back, but this is just unacceptable.

I'm tempted to buy at this price to match my first one at $80 (after AMEX discount).

What you really want is a curved VA panel, if you're after GOOD LOOKING color.
The 30bit IPS is generally for office photo work, people CONFUSE that with a monitor which looks good. That is NOT the case. IPS image looks awful because of low contrast ratio. IPS has properties convenient for photo work, and photo work does not require good contrast ratio or a good looking image, it only requires uniformity (as a convenience) for editing photos for web or print.

I don't photo edit so I really don't care about accuracy, but people can see the difference in color reproduction, oled on phones and tv's being a prime example. I have both ah-ips and ah-ips with a high gamut backlight, there is a difference.
Just as there is a difference between older panel ips like this e-ips and more modern/higher end panels. If you are basing it off this monitor, it just doesn't apply, e-ips is extremely old. The only reason they keep making it today is the old factory lines keep churning them out for low end "ips" panels, its 10 year old technology. The clue is in the name, u2412 = 2012

The goal of good image quality is High peak brightness while maintaining low black levels simultaneously.
This is why there are no high-end IPS tvs, because IPS simply can not produce the dark tones necessary while maintaining high peak brightness levels.
It all comes down to contrast ratio. IPS has at best 1000-1500:1 , while VA can do ~6000:1
IPS glow affects all brightnesses under all conditions. IPS produce washed out color and very little image depth. Most ips Monitors are in the low 1000:1 range for contrast, which is why they are ALL terrible in image quality.

being VA or IPS does not affect color accuracy, but it does affect contrast. So given same backlight and build elements, VA will display fundamentally more total gamut volume because it can produce deeper colors.
