VA Panel.
Can we start posting this bit of info for monitors more often?

Its pretty important for a lot of us who need specific monitor types.
I have S3220dgf curved with VA in my office, I also have S2721dgf with Nano IPS at home, honestly i have no complaints on VA, they are just as good as the ips for me, i do video editing and FPS gaming.
If you're staring straight at it, you'll be pressed to notice a difference.

IPS will have accurate colors but VA has better contrast.

It is showing $329.99 to me.
Looks like the deal was originally at Dell.com but Amazon has since update their price to match. If you use your Amazon Prime CC you get 10% back in Amazon credit. I picked up two a few weeks back when this deal first came up. I work from home and game on these and they are really great for price. I'm thinking of going triple monitor and picking up another one.

How do you get 10% back? I have prime credit card but what I know is you get 5% cashback.

I'm in the same camp where I prefer VA over IPS. I can't stand IPS glow or grayish blacks.

I feel like a lot of PC gamers just think if it's not IPS that's it's no good without knowing exactly why. Better colors are nice, but unless you're doing professional work it's overstated and better viewing angles? C'mon, most of us are sitting right in front of our monitor. Even in my TN panel, I have to contort myself to get a bad view angle.
this gamer is indifferent to the TN vs IPS debate. the "debate" is more monitor specific than technology. there is always a trade off with whatever monitor is purchased. if the perfect 1440p 140+hz VBR monitor was 1k that is a tradeoff on price.

Quote from EvilRellik :
I've been out of the monitor game, but does anyone have any general feedback in regards to having 2 curved monitors side by side (not necessarily this screen size maybe smaller)?

Do you position them next to each other to have one continuous screen curve, turn both screens slightly towards the user, or both straight facing forward?
Does it impact viewing angles?
Is it kind of pointless?
Better off getting an Ultrawide Monitor instead of 2 curved?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I'd like to know too! Been looking at a dual monitor set up myself.

Completely wrong. Factory color calibration has literally _nothing_ to do with the panel type. What you're conflating with "accurate colors" is IPS's "color gamut" (literally the amount of different colors it could show, though the amount of colors it could show has no bearing if the monitor isn't calibrated/clamped to a given color space for the content you're viewing/creating) and "off-axis viewing angles". Even a TN type panel which people think have "bad colors" can have an excellent and "accurate color" profile for sRGB (typical web content color space) out of the factory if the manufacturer cared to do that. For example, many of the "prosumer" oriented monitors, like Asus ProArt displays are color calibrated out of the factory and include a piece of paper showing their calibration report. Monitor manufacturers don't tend to bother with a full calibration unless they're going to charge you extra for that work.

TN's previous benefits, refresh speed/response time, has largely diminished with manufacturers putting a lot of emphasis on improving IPS/VA panels for better speed characteristics. There's largely little reason to get TN panels today.

The main differentiations between choosing IPS vs VA are these two:
1) Are you OK with curved, or do you want flat?
VAs are more commonly available as curved screens, IPS are more commonly available as flat screens. Curved screens aren't very adequate for content creation, since the corners will be warped if you're trying to video editing or photoshop type work. But they can be nice if you like a more immersive experience in exploration type games or something.

2) Do you view/play content on your monitors in a dark room at night or a brightly lit room during the day?
The contrast will matter more in a darker environment, and IPS's blacks at a typical ~1:1000 contrast ratio will look grayish in a dark room, and that may put you off. If you typically use the monitor in a dark room, consider VA over IPS. If you use the monitor primarily during the day, the contrast advantage of VA won't be as readily apparent. If so, consider IPS if you primarily use your monitor in a brightly lit environment.
