Do you wear glasses? If you do, then GTFO! LOL just kidding.
If you care that much about it looking the very best it can be, definitely try it on a 4K monitor (preferably a quality VA panel, though). IPS might have more accurate colors, but the black level plain sucks (the dreaded "IPS glow" seems to be more of an issue with the recent panels - perhaps they're being made cheaper, see this one: http://www.overclock.net/t/1462025/asus-...ight-bleed ). Or just wait for OLED to become affordable..
BTW, there's a 35" ultra-wide curved gsync monitor with VA panel, that can do 200Hz!!!
Acer Z35
I just found out about this... still only 1080 pixels vertical, UGH!!!
I thought that all VA panels were incapable of much more than 100Hz, along with less than 15-20ms response time?!?? This one claims 4ms g2g response time.
This review https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/acer-z35/ claims:
Quote:Using this method, we calculated 4.90ms (under 3/4s of a frame at 144Hz) of input lag.
Amazing how far VA technology has come!!! It used to be so laggy and ghosty in motion! Just WOW...
Edit - the review says that there's still the same black crushing problem (like my old Dell 2405FPW from 2005, got rid of it)... I had to turn up the brightness to at least 50% to fix the black crushing problem.
