Generaly speaking, learned recently from Slickdeal comment shopping; if at this price point and curved, it's almost always gonna be VA. IPS might sometimes be at this price point but generally not curved and OLED is never going to be at this price point.
My take on VA for people who recently started shopping for monitors like me:
I noticed there's this part of the crowd that has ongoing hate for VA but I think Samsung makes some well regarded gaming-specific VA panels with their technology so probably not as bad as the nay-sayers make it out to be? And I never realized there were panel types or paid attention to them until recently reading Slickdeal comments as i window shop for a gaming monitor (va, ips, oled) I've been playing games on monitors since like year 2000s and never noticed any glaring issues that "hurt" my gaming or general use experience. I used a lot of old hand-me-downs (before flat screens) and bought used monitors from Craigslist back in the days for cheap upgrades. I'm currently using 2 27" IPS 75hz samsung monitor from work. Before that it was some old 22" LCD monitor from early 2000s (probably VA or TN, donno, never checked) They all provided perfectly good experience for me.
These "cheap" VA monitors are affordable for most, even "disposable" for some. Sort of like the folks who'd rather spend on a $200 70" TCL tv instead of a $2000 60" OLED tv, generally Some small demographics probably genuinely had bad experience w/ VA or have high-standards but I don't think it's obsolete technology and VA technology allows for selling at this pricepoint while providing adequate quality, generally speaking.

Should I get this one, will it be easier on eyes causing less radiation, consuming less electricity?
