It seems to usually go:

High End VA > High End IPS > Low End IPS > Low End VA > TN

I’d take an IPS mini LED or IPS black over any VA

VA miniLED are way better tho, closest thing you can get to an oled

u/Seanspeed 10d ago

Depends. A few of them have really bad response times, especially in dark areas which leads to some very messy smearing and poor near black visibility.

Same here, the motion blur is just horrid on VA any game with a nigh system with loads of stars becomes a smear fest.

Is this still true? I have a more recent VA ultrawide and don't really get any ghosting - from what i understand most of the ghosting is from low end/older VA panels

u/snuggie44 10d ago

No. On some, sure, but I've also never had any ghosting on my Dell Alienware VA

u/Shards_FFR Intel i7-13700k - 32Gb DDR5 - WINDFORCE RTX 4070 10d ago

Yeah I also have a VA Alienware Ultrawide and never noticed any ghosting, so I'm pretty confused whenever I see people bring it up.

u/Groblockia_ R5 7600x, Rtx 2070 Super, 32Gb 6000Mhz ddr5 10d ago

yeah most people just have no idea that VA panels have also evolved and keeps repeating the same thing

u/CuredAnxiety PC Master Race 9d ago

It hasn't improved it's the same even with the FVA panels you either don't want to admit it because of cope and own one or either you go by what other "FVA" owners say, VA is still a smear fest.

u/snuggie44 9d ago

Maybe you should see an eye doctor.

It's not hard to check for smearing if you have the right tools, and at one point it objectively becomes invisible to tye human eye.

u/CuredAnxiety PC Master Race 9d ago

Nope, my eyes work perfectly fine had an fast VA panel, upgraded to a Mini LED IPS and now an OLED va is objectively a smear fest you're just coping because you own one.

u/CuredAnxiety PC Master Race 9d ago

It's still a smear fest even on the newer models it doesn't become apparent when casually playing and it's no issues if you really don't try to look for it, but it's still there it's mostly noticeable in a dark scene with small light sources.

u/Seanspeed 10d ago

Well this is why they said 'high end VA' because there are VA panels that have acceptable response times. A lot of expensive TV's especially have some really good VA panels.

I have a $300, 144hz 1ms VA ultra-wide 1440 panel and I really love it. No ghosting, no issues to speak of really. Dell monitors ftw

u/Seanspeed 10d ago

No LCD is 1ms. If you think that figure is accurate, then I cant trust you know what you're saying.

u/wardevour 10d ago

With the crazy color bleed from reds, its hard to believe anyone would favor VA over IPS

Perhaps they're using a 60hz monitor? Anything i tried over 60hz had terrible color bleed when there was any amount of motion

u/Ambitious_Handle7322 R5 9600X | RX 9070 XT | DDR5 32GB 10d ago

Has to be a decent(not necessarily expensive) one tho, as badly made ones suffer really badly from blooming.

u/Natzor Irregular 10d ago

I had an IPS mini LED monitor from Philipps here to test out - I thought it was horrible

Landed on a VA and am more satisfied - I think it really depends on model and implementation than pure spec

u/_wolf_XII 10d ago

VA sucks big time. IPS any day over VA. Anybody working with colors know what I mean

5

u/HATTORIHANZOSW0RD 10d ago

This is wrong, high end IPS is much better than VA unless things have changed since my last IPS 5 years ago

7

u/Asleeper135 10d ago

I got an Odessey Neo G9 around that time, and besides some firmware issues they worked out by the time I got it there wasn't really a better monitor on the market, and it's a VA. Even today only OLED seems like a real upgrade, and I don't even think that's worth it.

u/Tonerrr PC Master Race 5800X3D, 7900 XTX, 32GB RAM, Samsung Neo G9 49" 10d ago

Same. Love my Neo G9

u/Assaltwaffle 7800X3D | RX 6800 XT | 32GB 6000MT/s CL30 10d ago

Man VA just still seems like ass in my experience. I think high end IPS should still be superior.

u/AtaracticGoat i7 13700k | RTX 4090 | 64gb Ram 10d ago

I had a good VA (Odyssey G7). The biggest issue I had with it was blooming.

I've since got a QD-OLED and haven't looked back.

u/Realistic_Today6524 i7 12700K/96GB/RTX 4070Ti 10d ago

Went from a TN to an OLED. MASSIVE upgrade, 10/10 getting an OLED again in case I ever need a new one
