I've been rocking this since last Prime Day and it's been a great monitor for both work and gaming

I really want to buy this but everyone says VA panels suck for gaming. But this is titled a gaming monitor. Is IPS even worth the extra money? I do play shooters like COD.

Here are some excerpts that seem relevant to me:
Quote :
VA panels are slightly behind the curve on color accuracy compared to IPS, but for typical gaming scenarios, they are well suited for the job. They particularly shine when it comes to shadow and highlight detail in games, and make a good choice when you're watching movies in your downtime due to the deeper blacks. But when you weigh the advantages that VA panels have with contrast ratio and black levels versus the more accurate color performance of IPS panels for gaming, it more or less comes down to your personal preference.

While it may look like IPS is the winner based on its technical merits, it's not that easy. When we're talking about things like how responsive a monitor is or how it looks to the eye, a lot of it comes down to personal preference. You might prefer VA over IPS based on not only your gaming preferences but also productivity apps when it's time to get work done.

And while you may enjoy having a fast 360 Hz IPS display for your twitchy eSports games, someone else might have a different panel in mind for a slower-paced RTS game. In the end, if it is all possible, we'd suggest that you try to get some "eyes on" time with a monitor before you plunk down your cold, hard cash at a brick and mortar electronics retailer.
IPS vs VA is just one more of these arenas where the die-hards get out in force and have strong opinions -- except in reality, normal people would barely notice a difference in many scenarios. In my experience, this happens for sound equipment, graphics cards, monitor technology, and lots more things. "NVidia sucks! No, AMD sucks!" Sigh. As with so many things in life, the truth (or reality) is often found in the middle ground and also widely depends on your use/needs.

I'm switching from an IPS to VA for eye comfort. I love my IPS but it really strains my eyes. Hopefully the curve screen will make it easier for me.

I vastly prefer VA to IPS. Sure, IPS might have more saturated colors, but VA has better black levels, and I find backlight bleed a lot more distracting than color levels.

Solid deal, would be even better at $180.
My main monitor is a curved VA and secondary is IPS.
I actually prefer VA. It is easier on my eyes, and I like the black blacks.
I have astigmatism in both eyes which might play a role in my preference.
