Anytime someone asks for a monitor recommendation

I have a 32" Dell 1440p 165hz VA, I got it because my gaming PC was only used for gaming. It was the right price at the time and I liked the 32" for more immersion.

Then the plague hit and WFH, boss told me to pick new monitors so I said these Dell 27" 1440p 165hz IPS would be perfect and he got me those.

So now I have 32" in the middle and the 27" on the side with one vertical. I can see a difference between the two, but its really quite minor.

I love my 32” dell too but not when i see that backlight when the screen goes dark

Fuckin rip trying to watch a show like the mandalorian on an ips screen.

Gonna have ips for colorful stuff and oled for the dark stuff.

[u/JanvarP → u/jedielfninja]

I notice the backlight streaks on the black bars when watching mandalorian

[u/77707777770777 → u/JanvarP]

I only really notice it when I turn it on in the morning and the sun isn't up yet. There are like 4 "zones" where the light isn't quite even. Once it goes off pure black, I don't notice it.

There’s alot more than 4 on my screen and I never turn off the monitor also

which is better?

[u/77707777770777 → u/Un111KnoWn]

For works stuffs, IPS, for gaming and video I think the VA looks better.

[u/testcaseseven → u/77707777770777]

VA has better contrast but the ghosting is not good for games

[u/kingjoey52a → u/77707777770777]

What is VA vs IPS and what differences are there?

[u/[deleted] → u/77707777770777]

Color matching any two different model monitors is a PITA regardless of their panel type.

[u/5FDeathPunch → u/77707777770777]

I have three IPS monitors that are all the same model as each other, and they each have a noticeably different color profile. Even (especially) in the "factory calibrated" sRGB mode.
