me, watching on a cheap TN video so can see neither the truer colours nor the deeper blacks
Haha same 😂😂
Trolololol
After reading your comment I moved the window from my 144hz TN panel to the IPS one, and yeah, I immediately noticed a difference 😆
@@ChrisBlackTV 😌i too have both , colours look good in ips when watching stuff.but in gaming i don't see much diff except red colour and green colour look different.
Watching on a IPS panel with terrible light bleeding and terrible blacks. This monitor is from 2015 and it used to cost 800€
My mouth dropped when I saw the black on white text comparison. Thanks for making this in depth video. Nice work.
Some more modern VA panels don't have this issue. Samsung Oddyssey G7 and higher VA panels for example.
Dude, really... as some have already said: Hands down the best comparison between IPS and VA panel on the internet. Great stuff, mate. :D
Very good comparison. Two things to notice.
1. If we are using dark mode for coding I would prefer IPS.
2. In most of the comparison videos(other brand VA display) VA panels are little warmer than IPS. But Viewsonic managed that.
I swear by ViewSonic. I love their products.
This white leak on the left down corner on IPS panel 06:10, is this normal? Every IPS pannel has it? Or this is a problem with this monitor?
@@FallenLight0 every ips panel it's called black glow or something, usually it's barely visible in the 4 corners but it depends on viewing angle
@@PurpleGuyUSA I see, thanks
@@FallenLight0 My 2nd LG 22MN430M not like that, but in my 1st Philips 242V8A has a white leaked, me called Bleeding, and still want take to Service Center for replace it :(
This is by far the best IPS vs VA comparison I watched! Very logical testing, and the black background white text coding just took it to another level.
The thing about that is, its not doing it on my VA... at all. I can test right here in these comments.
@@timmyp6297 What monitor do you have? I'm looking for a good monitor but I wouldnt like to regret if I get a VA

Thank you sir for this video. You just made me make a choice that've been bothering me for 2 days.
And btw, I love the way you articulate and speak. Feels like hearing a nice gentlemen .
I'm now subscribed to your channel and exited to see more.
Video of this kind of categories are not covered by most of youtubers, and most video i found are 3 to 4 years old. Thank you so much for this video. and Keep going with the flow....🔥❤
I own a philips 144hz va panel monitor, and out of the box, the black smearing issue was really bothering but managed to reduce it significantly by adjusting the "SmartResponse" setting to fast.
5:20 Thanks for this side by side comparison of dark background and white text. I am programmer. I was looking for VA for better black colors but this showed there are other issues.
wich one did you chose?
So ips is better?
I think for people that like coding in the evenings etc. or in general prefer the dark editor color theme, it might be even worse on a VA - as I understand, smaller gray-to-gray transitions are even slower and that's precisely what happens in that case - dark editor themes do not use white text on black background, but a combination of colors with lower contrast so that they are more natural for human eyes not evolved for high contrasts in dark environments and don't cause retinal "burn-in" issues.
@@maddymuhat8079 No,ips is has awful contrast and black levels.
@@ntz752 yeah u are right
As someone trying to figure out which monitor to use (only used laptops up to this point), this video was super helpful! It's one thing to read about it and another to see the visual differences. Thanks!
Solid comparison and I'm glad it just came up in YT recommendations. The part on text during screen shake was a practical example that helped me decide.
I do appreciate so much, not only your accurate review but also your kindness calling for liking and subscribing at the very end of the video. So polite and ellegant.
Very good video, the demonstration at 5:18 really put black smearing into perspective and convinced me to go with an IPS monitor instead.
Smart choice, ignore the guy who probably doesn't own a VA panel monitor. I own a VA panel and will never ever waste my $ on another VA panel ever.
@@JasonSmith-pn6ch you have to choose the best monitors with VA tech, Samsung Odyssey 7 shits on most IPS/TN panels (only possible downside is the 1000R curve of the screen, might be a bit too much for most people)
@@wallacesousuke1433 Shouldn't the major downside be that it is over $800?
@@fuiwfnbnufjehnfojui4251 nope? It's worthy every penny, 240Hz, great contrast, 1440p, fast response, etc etc.
@@wallacesousuke1433 while i’m sure it’s a great product, just because something is “worth every penny” doesn’t mean it’s not a downside when compared to cheaper monitors.
Bro, You nailed it. This is super cool comparison with every detail .
i'm looking one for coding primarily and have been considering VA monitor as it is generally cheaper. The website you created definitely a deal breaker for me. almost 70-80% my uses are on black / night mode from IDE, text editor, terminal. It's scary to think how i'm gonna live with that. Thank you so much for taking time creating this. Definitely one of the best comparison on YT. Practical and straightforward.
So what do you think, am programmer too and i need a 34 inch curved monitor which 90% of them are VA and the IPS in in 34 inch is so expensive, what is your advice

What monitor you bought?
in person its not so bad, unless you've been using IPS panels for at least a few years before
I own a few budget VA panels for coding
if most of your use is in black mode, then VA is definitely the better option
after 9hr of reviews, this is the best one.
I agree lol. I was thinking like who spends 9hrs watching monitor's reviews. I just realized I've done 12hrs straight so far.

He compared a decent IPS with a bad VA and that is the best review you've seen ? ...
I like the variety of things shown/discussed in your comparison, the way you replayed, highlighted and slowed what you were showing and how you got the info across while being concise.
Man this video is a life saver. I planned to buy a VA monitor as my main one, but it seems to suck for both gaming and coding (the two things I'll do mostly), so I'll probably stick to a previous IPS monitor I had in mind. A lot of thanks for your time and effort in your research 😊
i bought a 240hz Acer VA panel and it does not suffer from.such black smearing effect and the colors are popping and contrast are pretty good
@Nicholas Acosta Yes and no , it depends on the panel itself and even sometimes from one to the next .. I had 2 VA monitor identical model and one had black smearing the other didnt , both using the same overdrive setting everythiing . So its a per unit basis .. Some have very good overdrive setting that negate most of the black smearing . Some simply have it
@@stew360 Hi, could you share the model name? I'm looking for a VA panel
@Zul Yes but i bought 2 and 1 of the 2 had black smearing and the Overdrive did not work properly enough to compensate for my taste the other was good So its Panel lottery i guess Acer Nitro XZ3 XZ273U Xbmiiphx 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 240Hz (Using Display Port), 1ms (GtG) Both were the same model 1 had black smearing the other didn't exact same brand exact same model i kept one and returned the other !
@@zulhailmie i have the samsung Odyssey G7 and it has no black smearing at all. Best monitor ive ever owned
Thx for this comparison! The black smearing with white text on dark background was the knockout for the VA panel. Because I am programing a lot in dark mode. That was very helpful.
Dude this is the single best video I've seen comparing the two panels. No fluff, no bullshit, just straight facts. Please continue in this trend.
This sounds strange but your voice is also amazing. You don't speak fast or too slow, and you don't have any weird inflections. You have a nice clear sounding deep voice as well.

Why this channel got only 373 subs? It deserves more
Well those subs sure went up a lot in 2 months 😂
THANK YOU, I was about to spend a little bit more in monitor with VA panel but seeing the ghosting and colors I'm definitely going for the IPS
Thank man, you help me a lot to understand the difference between those two!
Few years ago I bought VA (from MSI) and I had chance to compare with quite old IPS monitor (aoc brand). And I had same results... I was very disappointed by VA panel. So I decided to return VA and I bought new 144hz, g-sync IPS panel. It was quite expensive, but definitely better choice.
You can find right now within 250-400€ bracket quite good such panels (IPS, 144Hz, G-Sync/Freesync Premium). 4-6 years ago, they were the best thing since sliced bread and were costing usually more than 600€. Personally, I love the clarity (PPI) of the 27" 4K, but it's typically at 60Hz only and require far better CPU and GPU as well since the resolution requires a lot of horsepower.
IPS for the win.. glad I pick up an Aorus AD27QD from 2019.. so damn great monitor. loved it..
thanks a lot... I've been researching for a few days trying to decide for one of these panels... I was already like 89% sold on IPS cos I knew it had better color accuracy but lots of my friends and reading online and watching other videos said it wasn't as bad and it was way more worth going for a VA panel mainly for avoid the "ips glow" effect that are very well known in the IPS space.. but after watching this video I'm now 100% sold on IPS.
I enjoy a lot of movies, anime, and games and I rather have the best image quality as possible, and now days we have IPS with 1ms (GtoG) so no real reason for go for VA anymore.
Be careful with IPS panels though. Nano IPS panels specifically. It strain your eyes very badly, even only after minutes. It's very unhealthy and definitely not recommended by A LOT of people. Check out any forum for that. ( I own a 2720hfa alienware 240hz monitor with nano ips panel and I am selling it. ) I had aoc va panel before and yes I agree smearing is bad but, liveable and you can get used to it. Although I would still choose IPS (if you have the money of course). IPS is so much more expensive. It's insane. The most decent monitor would be a G7. Hands down, best monitor out there. I am buying that when they take this one away.
@@laszlopinter8847 no idea abou that "nano ips" thing your talking about I did ended up buying an IPS tho, but is a budget 27" 1080p 177hz panel. The eye strain you talking about I didn't really had any issues although I do use glasses (I come from CRT era so I'm very familiar with eye strain)
Thanks tho for the heads up maybe it will help some1 else in the future!
buy a 90+% dci-p3 VA panel, and you'll love watching anything on it, blacks are almost near OLED levels.. almost
TOP comparison! thanks a lot, I almost bought a VA monitor myself, fortunately for me I saw this comparison first!
Best IPS vs VA panel comparison ever date! Subbed!
Coming from IPS for almost 15 years now and trying VA for once (due to I needed an ultrawide real estate for my work), in coloration: VA is surprisingly tolerable for color work-related purposes, but VA still has its downside esp when it comes to bleed, full black screen, and to others you might even noticed some unevenness (I got lucky my current VA monitor was well-manufactured and its stock calibration is good).
But if purely for gaming though, VA and IPS doesn't really factor that much to be honest.
In the end, it can still boils down to the quality of the product: A well-optimized and quality VA monitor is worth considering and can be a good alternative to a decent or average quality IPS monitor.
Technically, outside of literally two transitions or something, there's Samsung VA panels that are faster than anything besides the fastest 240hz IPS monitors out right now. They all have their own issues though.
@@KindOldRaven That Odyssey G7 would be on my radar if it weren't for the prohibitive price point. Seems like a great all-rounder.
If you want to watch content, a good VA is better than a good IPS
@@jotapeeee4009 VAs are actually improving more than ever before, it really is just that when it comes to color accuracy, IPS would have it better as that's what it's exactly made for, thus editors to professional visual type of works would opt to have one at least.
Especially for games like Skyrim.
Thank you so much for this! I was contemplating buying a VA monitor, but after seeing that black smearing on the white text on dark background, it is a no-go for me
Do you think all brands are like veiwsonic though? Are you sure you would get that on a HP, Samsung or LG VA monitor? I highly doubt that. That's just poor quality control within one company. It doesn't represent VA technology overall.
@@justdev8965You will get the same shit
thank you so much I learned a lot and your voice is so calming and straight to the point. God bless. Keeping my Dell 27 IPS S2721DGF 27
This is such an amazing review, really helped me to decide my purchase.
This was really interesting actually, appreciate your time, keep it up ✌
Watching on my phone because it has a better screen than my monitor xD
Edit: As someone who uses dark mode on everything, the smearing instantly made me not want to risk a VA. Good video.
Best IPS vs VA panel comparion on the INTERNET dude, I was about to buy a VA panel after sseeing the reviews from big youtubers, but you literally saved me, especially the White text on black background test... THANKs a bunch mate
Those "deeper blacks" on VA are useless in my opinion, because you must increase your brightness so you have less black smearing because of VA's technology. Any movement on a VA panel messes things up; for instance, if you have a star dotted sky and the scene moves, the stars dissapear while the camera moves, because the black pixels take too long to change from black to a color. I use a 34 inch ultrawide 2k VA display for working, general computer usage and gaming. Its fine for casual use but for gaming is not that good, and sometimes my mouse dissapears while everything is still normal on my older TN display.
Increasing brightness will not reduce the black smearing much at all but decreasing contrast will, and yes your correct decreasing contrast makes black into grey but it also makes a va panel not literally hurt your eyes while using it, i am currently the owner of a va panel and i run it at half of the stock contrast settings in nvidia control panel to make it even slightly usable
I might try to decrease contrast later@@nerd20fromdiscord
wow. I have a VA and I haven't really noticed the black smearing until now. Now that you pointed it out, it's harder not to see. Interesting. good comparison.
Great video man, thank you on testing and explaining in detail. Now I can help more people when purchasing new monitors. Cheers!
This review was so fulfilling and satisfactory and really helped me understand these issues watching it on a 10 year old Samsung budget model LCD. 😊🤗
Keep up this amazing work man , this video need alot of views
As someone who frequently watches logs, I’m really glad I went with IPS rather than VA now. That worst case you showed is pretty normal for me.
...not really? I have a VA panel. The only time I've seen black smearing was when I connected a PS3 to it, because obviously the games there run at 60 FPS or lower. Not a single problem with PC.
Ips glow will bother you
@@unknown185 it doesn’t? but i appreciate the concern.
@@MJSonOfHarry it does. If you have an black background (dark mode apps, games and other), you will notice it. Going from va to ips SUCKS.
@@unknown185 no i mean i personally am not bothered. sorry to hear you had such a bad experience though
excellent review, one of the most comprehensive and well explained comparisons i think I've ever seen. i think i'll have to go into store to actual see the panels though lol
Completely amazing comparison, Cleared my doubts. Thanks.
In this 30 years of my PC crusade I had a lot of monitors, IPS, TN, VA... and now I'm using Philips 165Hz 32" VA panel. And yes, it has smearing but I'm not annoyed about that. In most games smearing isn't so noticeable - only if you are looking maniacally for that. What I like and prefer over other monitors are really deeper blacks and non-existence of GLOWING of IPS (you forget to mention that) and, the most important: richer colors and saturation. VA panels (especially Philips' ones) are capable of more vivid colors and that's game changer for me.
10 years with IPS (Asus VX239H), and still don't notice something called "glow"
@@KvantVS You're blind then. I've had the same monitor (and more others through this 30 years of my hanging with computers) and there's a glow. EVERY SINGLE ONE IPS has it. That's how they function. Also, they are prone to ghosting but not so noticeable.
@@mirovinac3968 Oh, really? Can't do without offense?
Even at an angle there is a flawless image. I think it's just that some people are sensitive to some characteristics and others people aren't, it is uncritical or not noticeable and vice versa.
Here is my video, btw: v=YRfXLYUM0sI. ASUS VX239H with 9-10 years of using.
@@KvantVS Yeah, just google it. You are lucky you can't see it.
On my Philips VA the colour saturation was pretty bad. The stock colours were alright but as soon as I turned up the gamma (which I always do for gaming) the colours became really washed out. With high gamma the colours were worse than on my old TN benq esports monitor. On my IPS monitor I can turn up the gamma really high and the colours stay vibrant. The philips VA only looked good for dark colours so I sent it back
This review was an eye-opener! Having almost all programs in dark mode with white text would be a nightmare in VA, especially coding.
Eh, smearing while coding in a dark mode (Well, in my experience a dark grey background) isn't the worst on a VA. It's not bad enough that I can't scroll through my code quickly to identify the blocks I'm looking for, and most of the time the image is static. I have a PLS, IPS and VA in my monitor setup and my main coding window usually lives on my VA because the smearing doesn't effect it's functionality.
I don't like to game on my VA, though.
@@carlsonmcphallus7366 which would you recommend for content consumption and light gaming?
and does the color ratio of IPS bother you?
@@sigmacrow6783 You mean the contrast ratio? Yes, it does bother me.
The black smearing of the VA is the real kicker though. I got used it, I don't let it bother me. But, if you're the kind of person who lets those details bother you, it can be hard to overlook.
For me, now, I use my VA for most tasks. Video, work, gaming. I got used to the smearing in gaming, doesn't bother me now.
Just make sure you check out detailed monitor reviews before buying any monitor; there are bad monitors of every type. Also, don't overlook input latency.
@@carlsonmcphallus7366 Thanks man, I will keep in mind while buy a new monitor for my pc. :D
@@carlsonmcphallus7366but on 5:20 it just looks terrible how extreme smearing is, does it vary on monitor brand or is it common on all VA monitors??
A very nice view. Some stuff I did not notice anywhere before. Thanks
Great video, I've been pulling my hair out reading reviews but this actually showed it on screen! I'm now set on another IPS! Cheers 👍

which panel is better for coding work and reading? IPS or VA? thanks friend
@@phenixwutao if you like a screen that has darker black and doesn't mind the limited viewing angles go for VA. I went for IPS cause I play and watch animes a lot so I can enjoy the 180 viewing angles and colorful display
Great video! Especially loved the black smearing part! I found mobile OLEDs also guilty of black smearing at low brightness. I definitely won’t be able to live with it!
I appreciated the spirit behind this video and the update with the G7 but the result is flawed. I couldn't find an RL way to test VA black smear so I relied on videos like this from reviewers and other PC gamer's opinions. The panel shown here must be one of the worst for black smearing, the scrolling dark mode almost convinced me not to get VA at all. The G7 is known as the best VA panel period so of course that one doesn't have it. I thankfully saw other videos that swayed me and got a DELL VA and the smearing is something that you see but that doesn't really affect anything important. Just thought I'd leave the comment here for anyone else in a similar position. I'm very happy with my new monitor.
I know right!? I highly appreciate people taking the time to write/produce such detailed and well-presented reviews, BUT they do make it look like the VA panels are really bad when in reality you barely notice anything lol
@eVilmoogl by chance would your monitor be a WQHD S3422DW. Just bought one yesterday one on Dell's online store, after watching videos abou VA on Hardware Unboxing and other channels. But this video got me really scared about gaming on that monitor.
@@ThiagoVieira91 S2722DGM but I think either that Viewsonic monitor is just on the worse side or the video makes it look bad. If I scroll white text on a black BG on either of my screens it looks about the same. It's a bad cherry picked example that's clearly not representative of VA as a whole.
@@eVilmoogl Hey man. Came back to tell you my Dell S3422DW arrived 2 months ago and I'm very happy. I didn't found smearing nowhere near the levels in this video. I work as a software developer using dark mode for my editor and didn't find any bad smearing. Also, scrolling RUclips, haven't found any issues. I think people are testing bad gaming VA panels.
Check Dawid Does Tech Stuff's latest video. He published it today, comparing IPS and VA panels.
@@ThiagoVieira91 Very nice I'm glad you like it! There's still only one thing I ever notice it in and that's item labels on the ground in Path of Exile.

Thank you for the super clean showcase of the different types.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best review! Thanks mate. Now I am going IPS all the way
IPS sucks in dark scenes in games
@@SonGoku544 what about everything else?
HOLY CRAP this video is a godsend!! Because I have just ordered that exact LG monitor today! This showcase is EXACTLY what I was looking for to see if it's a good investment. Image clarity, especially in motion, is THE MOST important parameter for me. This is also why I absolutely despise TAA in all of games that has it
Thanks for the comparision, especially that white text on black background. I couldn't decide between panel type because i watch a lot of movies, but after seeing how bad the smearing is i wouldn't live with it by any chance. Just ordered nanoIPS by LG
Thank you so much for this amazing comparison!
A well thought out practically relevant fantastic review because you show visually what the differences are to the human eye. VA is definitely a no-go for me when I eventually buy a 4K monitor. The black smearing looks terrible. Granted the IPS tech. has lower contrast ratios however it does not look 'defective' just not as good contrast wise.
Now to decide on 28" or 32" for 4K.
Definitely 32 inches. 28 goes with 1080p or 1440p for better sharpness
I bought a VA panel 2 months ago, I couldn't stand the black smearing as my eyes are sensible to motion blur. It's insane to me that the dark games look so good with the insane contrast ratio but unplayable at the same time, so I sold it and got an ips. Wish I had seen this video before.
😂
Fantastic video
Been fighting this issue on two seperate 4K displays and one 1440p display with going back and replaying borderlands 1, and the new 7 days 2 die update - both games exhibit the same issue you see in the scrolling text test, where blacks sort of fade in and out, and details are invisible while moving - you have to stop aiming or moving to see whats going on, you cant strafe sideways or aim AND see what's happenig on screen as it all smears together
Thanks very much for this side-by-side comparison! Now I do understand that IPS panel is the preferred choice for me!
Never regret getting IPS monitors!
but i'm disappointed with the bleeding problem
Most VA monitor is garbage when it comes to motion/pixel response, but it could be improved, for example almost every(even cheap) VA televisions have better response times than VA gaming monitors, most of them match the samsung odyssey models... Its kinda a joke, but i wish monitor manufacturers would put effort into their products and not just pump out garbage, cuz VA deserves better.
@@avongunadi I have an oddysey g7. It's a VA and it's better than any IPS atm
@j s yup, im going for TN too
@j s my LG is totally fine. you must set the profile and settings wrong to fk up your eyes. I have bad eyes and really am sensitive to light and "ever changing color", but the LG IPS I have is nice with my eyes.
I’ve got an ultrawide curved VA which I love! The price point was totally worth it for me. The price jump was not worth it to get IPS. I’m sure this will change for IPS as time goes on, but for now I’m good
Nah VA panel is nice, IPS panel have backlight bleeding and IPS glow which can suck too.
@@Afura33 Yeah honestly not too bothered with the smearing since my old OLED phones had it and it's not too bad on the VA I love the deep blacks and cheaper pricepoint with curvature so pretty happy
@@zeppkfw Yea I always go with VA, I love the picture quality of VA over IPS. I still don't get why so many people are going with IPS, the IPS panel lottery is such a pain in the butt, it is not worth the money and time to get through this lottery. Plus the black looks so grey on it, I don't like it.
Nice job. Thanks for your analysis.
This is a great vid. The white text on the black background is what started bothering me the most on my VA panel. Reminds me of scrolling down threads on Reddit. It's not a deal-breaking but it sure as heck is annoying.
Altering the Overdrive settings on your viewsonic monitor (if it has any) may improve the ghosting/smearing, increasing the black level also might help. Summing up VA as a whole as being worse when not considering the settings and the model of display used is somewhat misleading.
Yeah i have overdrive and black smearing is almost unnoticable.
i wuld say its not misleading. i had an acer VA and no matter what settings i used, it aways had the black smear, the boosting or overdrive or whatever it was fixed it slightly but it cant remove it completely. it is aways noticable and for someone who sits behind the monitor alot of time its like a thorn in the eye.
you shouldn't have to calibrate shit to make it look better after buying it. should work out of the box without issue. IPS is superior
@@lesROKnoobz It's not calibrating it, just changing some setting. VA has superior black levels, contrast and color accuracy. They're better at different things.
@@theblackswordsman9951 I've always heard ips has better color accuracy
As an owner of both a VA panel and an IPS Panel, I never have issues on my VA panel with black smearing, as I also code in visual studio code with a black background and white text.
same
A really professional video! Glad this was recommended to me.
Thank you, this was the best examples of the difference between IPS and VA panels.
If we mainly focus on reading/writing and watching movies, would VA be the better choice? Or will IPS be better overall since in your test, IPS seems more suited for wide variety of application while there was a negligible advantage for movie watching in VA?
Great comparison. I want to buy monitor for playing games at night so I was leaning more toward the VA panels because of the deeper blacks and higher contrast ratio but I wasn't aware that they have black smearing which is a deal breaker for me. I'm going for the IPS then. Many thanks, your video is great!
Thank you so much! Really helped me with the panel choice. I am definetly going for an IPS panel.
You deserve an like and congratulations ... much explained , but really current date 2023 VA monitors continue having problems with black smearing and motion blur ?
So I had a LG 27GL850 and It was a good monitor, but I couldn't stand the horrific IPS glow that ruins every low light scene. You get this gray glow in the corners that washes out all color and detail. I ended up switching to an Odyssey G7 and loved it. It had far less ghosting and no smearing that I could see (but then again it is a 240hz panel) and I no longer had to deal with the IPS glow. It was great, but that monitor died last week, and I ended up picking up a LG 27GL950, hoping the much more expensive monitor would reduce the IPS glow, but it didn't. I had that a single day before I ordered the NEO G7 on sale for Prime day. It comes in today and I hope that it will be just as good as my G7 was despite only being a 165hz panel.
Hey, how do you like neo g7? Want to order one myself but dunno
@@MortyTheAbrams The scan line issue has gotten progressively worse. If you can accommodate an untrawide I suggest getting an AW3423DWF. It's the best gaming monitor out there.
@@DarthShadow25 cheap and pop, the same rubbish as a Rolls Royce boat tail
@@Leon_Kennedy_1977 It's like he's trying to speak to me, I just know it.
Nice video... overall i think it also depends on the producer and the brand... i have a Samsung 21.9 monitor and i think it handles the problems much better... i never noticed a real disavantage (except the viewing angle, that's on every va panel the same i guess)
What about smearing while using dark mode coding?
Nice video, man! Thank you. I was planning to grab a IPS monitor. Now I'm practically sure about do it.
One of the rare reviews showing the tech visual proof...all the others say VA not even showing why, thanks a lot
Quality content ❤️🔥
I had bought an insanely expensive VA monitor back around 2004, an EIZO, i forget how much it was. I returned it right away due to VA black smear. It was pungent, sticky. Since i program and engineer and need to scroll through insane amounts of text, text becoming completely illegible during scrolling was not acceptable, and it was affecting black text on white background too. This was before Overdrive was invented though. I hoped these things would have gotten better by now.
I wonder how much colour choice can alleviate the issue. For example my usual editor black isn't really black, it's just a slightly brownish tinted dark grey.
Man, thank you a lot for sharing this video with us!
Ty for this. Having the debate myself but couldn't get a great answer. Going with IPS!
This is what people want to see when comparing two technologies. Thank you for this amazing review.
This is a good comparison, but I still think it's a little unfair. VA monitors does have smearing because pixels have lower response time and the alligment doesn't help, but have significantly better blacks. Also IPS suffers from heavy Back light bleeding and glow, almost as hard as the smearing on a VA, maybe your IPS has a good control on that issue or the recording does help mitigate it. But as VA can't get rid of smearing (helps to tune your monitor with included settings), IPS can't get rid of glow/blb. To me having used both, I still choose a good VA with good settings, as I always play on a dark room, can't tolerate bleeding.
Brilliant comparison by far the best in RUclips!
Very useful comparison, thanks!
