Reply to To get a VA or an IPS by BalooMorghulis

Have you gamed on any other screen before like a TV even?

VA is fine in general but the dark smearing on lower end models, I personally find distracting as hell. I've felt that way though since going from a CRT TV/monitor to a VA TV.

IPS, doesn't have that smearing problem if you get a decent one You lose contrast though and have to deal with IPS glow/back light bleed..

It's one of those subjective things where some people don't find the smearing distracting whereas others like me, can't stand it.

Both have their positives and negatives, it's just about what trade-offs you are willing to live with.

There's a good video with both side by side.

The first option sound nice but the box is long gone. To be honest I'm just trying to have a desktop monitor. Yesterday I plugged the hdmi cord to my brother's laptop but perhaps I did something wrong because the screens where mimicking each other down to the mouse movement. The big decision for me is money. And that's exactly what I'm trying to spend 50-100 - something very affordable. There's a pc box that I was looking on Amazon that is around $80 except I'm not even sure if that would work correctly with my monitor. (I can't find it right know)

Now we are talking, you can get a DVI or VGA to HDMI adapter for literally under 5$ just check what kind of output that pc has, it's pretty old but might still be able to do work. That would be the cheapest optionn.

You can also try to buy an post lease laptop/pc cheaply for maybe 50-100$, but I'm assuming here, if you tell me some more of your expectations i can try to steer You in the right direction

And you connected it to your computer?

  1. you can check if it's plugged it the right port on back of the computer
  2. change input on the monitor, maybe it defaulted to different one, i don't know about this specific display but sometimes there is a button that looks like a rectangle with an arrow

The dufference between 2ms to 6ms is a huge difference. However, the question is will it matter to YOU because if you just casually play, browse and watch Netflix it won’t. Also those times are not set in stone, it depends on the display and there are low response ips panels as the technology is still developed. So it solely depends on your usage.

I read that the average response time for TN panels is 2-4 ms, while one IPS monitor has a maximum of 6 ms. But would this mean that the IPS monitor has as good a response time as the TN, doesn't it?

Depends on what you plan on doing. Casually playing games, ips is completely fine. Tryharding on pro level, well I guess you wouldn’t be asking then.

Take a high quality ips panel and you are good to go. Unless you want to save a buck tn isn’t all that interesting anymore.
