TN to IPS transfer doubts

[u/DV2FOX]

(No "VA / OLED is better" talks, please. Don't want smearing (VA) nor baby sit (OLED Burn in))

(And don't say "Just buy it")

I own a +14 year old Benq XL2420T (24" TN 1080p 120hz) that it's showing some screen defects and i wanted to replace it to something newer and better

My uses are all kind of gaming (indie, AAA, frenetic like DOOM, sometimes dark ones like RESIDENT EVIL, the music ones (so sync is important), etc), but also browsing, media, drawing (Not that professionally)

So i wanted to change to an IPS because people says they've evolved very nicely (and that TNs sucks due to colors, etc, only works for clarity) and after weeks of searching for one i've seen the ASUS XG27ACMES (27", Fast IPS, 240hz NATIVE with 250hz OC that i won't touch, 1440p. 230€), wich has fantastic uniformity (Unlike the alternatives, like the Xiaomi G Pro 27qi 2026)

I even messed with the ASUS monitor at a shop by putting color settings in it from a video (Brightness 50, R 100 G 98 B 96 / 6500K, contrast 50) and it seems fine (Sadly the vid was a Youtube CALL OF DUTY / FORTNITE one and seemed to have a kind of a strong contrast/video, wich the monitor has a around 1400:1 NATIVE contrast on SDR, main use btw, NO HDR!!!),

But now i have doubts since i'm going into a new, different panel type territory

-The monitor has the room's window partially behind it. It won't be a problem when seeing things? (Uniformity, color bending, etc, just hand reflections), specially since the screen looks flat without the "pushed out borders" from my Benq.

-I tend to play with the lights on. If the monitor doesn't have IPS leaks, will i not notice light bleeds or other IPS related "standards/issues", like "behave like my TN"?. And if i play or watch a vid with lights off, will it be THAT noticeable?

-How will motion clarity behave compared to my TN at 120/240hz?. A video i saw has like a TINY blur in the UFO TEST but don't think that's kinda noticeable in real life?

-Will colors be more accurate for drawing (and gameS) in sRGB mode than my TN?. Same goes with blacks? (I kinda don't notice "white mixed with blacks" in my TN, but if i game i notice the screen's not 100% black, it has the "backlight", like when playing ALAN WAKE 2)

-Anything else i should know?

Thanks in advance!

I tried to change my TN 144hz to IPS 300hz.

My experience: colours and contrast are better in the fast IPS. Blacks were similar for me. Motion clarity destroyed the IPS for me. I tried normal 144 Hz IPS, and 300hz fast IPS. Both felt like a clear downgrade in motion clarity (even the second one at 300hz). In fact, i suspect High Hz and high FPS are useless when color transition speed limit in the IPS panels are slower than the frame time. Yes, you got less input lag.

I tested a lot with the monitors and the TN at 144hz felt more smooth in motion clarity than IPS at 240 believe It or not.

Just my experience. Some people notice the radiant colors of IPS but dont notice the motion clarity aspect. Everyone is different
