        I have the LG ultragear which is IPS and a second monitor that's VA. The VA looks super washed out compared to the LG

          Probably comes down to the settings or calibration as VA has triple the contrast ratio , blacks are much blacker

          The only real advantage of IPS is colour accuracy .

            @piston3461: Wow, you got downvoted for that? How dare you be right…
            Its common knowledge that VA has better contrast and better blacks. Its always been a strength of VA monitors. Obviously they have downsides, but being washed out is absolutely not one of them.

            @piston3461: IPS is also less blury in games … = less ghosting..

            i have 2x 32" VA 1440p 144Hz monitors.. all VA panels have more ghosting then IPS and TN.. but the colours and black levels on these two 32" VA View sonic monitors are better then any other motors I've ever used in my life.

        • DanielP2 on 26/07/2020 - 17:34

          Slurped, you must have a bad VA monitor. just because your monitor is dodgy doesnt mean all VA panels appear washed out. IPS definately have their strengths, just like VAs have weaknesses, but dont go spreading mis-information.

        • Tehcookiemonsta on 26/07/2020 - 17:48

          Really? Because you must enjoy your grey black's… not all panels are made the same this also goes for VA panels. I prefer having proper black colouring in movies / games…

          Also IPS bleeding lmao.

                @Tehcookiemonsta: I'm looking at black right now, and I don't know about you but it looks black to me. Maybe if I saw a VA panel next to it I'd have a different opinion.

              • krisspy on 26/07/2020 - 20:56

                @Tehcookiemonsta: I actually prefer the greyer blacks, you get more detail in dark scenes. Kinda like setti g your camera to "flat" vs "dynamic" shooting mode.

                I bought a Samsung q70 recently, AFAIK it's a VA. My God I've never seen so much blacks crushed, had to turn the gamma up on the damn thing.

        • KintaroOe on 26/07/2020 - 18:45

          I don't have any VA panels for comparison, but I look from my IPS to my TN and everything looks fine, blacks included. With solid black stretched across the two the result is very, very similar - the black on my IPS is definitely "black". U2312HM (23" IPS 1080P) / S2716DG (27" TN 1440P). Neither of these cost any less than a limb though.

          • Yuri Lowell on 27/07/2020 - 05:33

            @Tehcookiemonsta: I have two VAs. Samsung 27" 1080p 144hz and an LG 32" 1440p 144hz. Compared to my IPS monitors the colours look about the same to me, however the blacks look much darker. There is ghosting on both, espcially with darker colours (very bad with dark colours scrolling on a lighter dark colour). I wouldn't say they hurt my experience of using them but they are noticable. The Samsung has some minor backlight bleed but the LG has no backlight bleed at all, which blows away my previous IPS screens that exhibited extreme backlight bleed and IPS glow (one looked like an oval in the middle of the screen). Overall I find the trade offs (ghosting in dark transitions), weaker colour production are worth it for blacker blacks and no backlight bleed (as well as being cheaper).

          Not all VA panels are bad…

          I've got all 3!!
          TN, VA and IPS…

          S2716DG vs U2717D vs CRG9…

          When all 3 are calibrated… The VA is pretty much on par with the IPS…better blacks, much vivid but colour accuracy falls slightly behind the IPS… the TN panel was still OK and holds its own …

    Bought this monitor about a month ago from Dell. It's come with 3 bright pixels, 1 dead pixel (in the centre of the screen) and some terrible backlight bleeding that Dell aren't keen to accept as a return/swap as it doesn't meet their policy. A nice monitor but Dell's QC is a bit terrible.

    • xuqi on 26/07/2020 - 15:47

      The screen is covered by their 'Premium Panel' warranty, so they should replace it with 1 or more bright pixels.

      You should be paying attention to the panel being used, not the brand tacked on the front. Rejecting a product just because of its brand is just bizarre. Would likely be a Samsung panel.

      If you're rejecting them because they're a Chinese brand, wait until you find out where most of the components in the electronics you own are manufactured and assembled. :P

      • nickskewl on 27/07/2020 - 10:51

        I completely appreciate that 99/100 products and spares that I use day to day have a linkage to China. So my intent was not aiming on "Chinese brand". My take was that LG and Samsung (Acer/Dell) are much more settled brand then as a customer I know customer service / warranty I would have more faith in.

        Not at the 32" size, but yeah that monitor is amazing. I would buy one if I had a $2500 budget for PC + monitor and money to spare to upgrade my GPU for 1440p, I like 1080p because it's cheaper across the board.

      Is there a reason for this? For TVs, IPS are cheaper panels generally used for mid range and low end.

      • ATangk on 26/07/2020 - 22:21

        TN and VA panels used to dominate the higher refresh rates. Now IPS is coming along to higher refresh rates but it’s $$$ for now.

  • JayKayKay on 26/07/2020 - 16:38

    Bought it, thanks OP for the find!

    I have been looking around for a 32'' 1440p with at least 120 Hz refresh rate and not shit color and contrast performance, simply because it would be a massive upgrade over the 27'' 1080p @ 60Hz monitors I've been using over the past half decade. But didn't need to go overboard since I don't play competitively or have a GPU that can handle 4K or 240 FPS. Was really tempted by the new Samsung Odyssey G7, but I think a grand for a monitor might be too much.

            • Void on 26/07/2020 - 21:46

              @[Deactivated]: Wider aspect ratio usually makes it scale like shit in games and on competitive ones it will hinder your vertical vision because they don't want people with ultrawides having an unfair advantage.

    Ended up returning mine during the last deal, seemed to have excessive backlight bleed & felt almost the same as an IPS in terms of black levels. Difficult to tell if I got a dud but I couldn't be bothered exchanging it for another

    Also the PPI (pixels per inch) is on the low side making text pixelation an issue on Windows 10. If its just purely gaming that you're after though it did seem quite competent

    • Fuzor on 26/07/2020 - 17:45

      Seems like Dell has had some QC issues in their Malaysian factories. I have an XPS desktop and dealing with their "premium warranty" suport, which is based onshore is a massive pain in the arse, rude and gives out attitude. I'd rather deal with their offshore Indian call centres, less hassles to get issues solves.

      Dell's main issues is they like to bounce you from one department to another when you call.

      • kml22 on 26/07/2020 - 17:54

        I always had great experience with Dell after sale support, they're always willing to help. The key is record who you talk to and reference number.

    • Tehcookiemonsta on 26/07/2020 - 17:54

      The PPI is completely your fault you new what resolution and size the monitor is before buying didn't you?

      Also it's exactly the same as 24" 1080P

      As for the other issues i don't have any of those problems… shame you didn,'t give it another go. Very nice panel imo. (I dont have any colour bleeding & the blacks are great :)

        I already knew about that but didn't think it'd be as bad as it was, sometimes things are impossible to tell without trying it in person. Its mainly Windows 10's rendering fault though as Mac OS handles text far better on lower resolutions

    • scrimshaw on 26/07/2020 - 18:20
      +1

      Panel differences aside (Dell refresh rate is 165hz and is brighter at 400 cd/m², Xiaomi is 144hz @ 300cd/m²)
      This is a 16:9 aspect ratio while the Xiaomi is a 21:9 ultrawide.

      This illustrates the difference between the 2 resolutions. 3440x1440 is green+orange, 2560x1440 is orange.

      The Dell is also HDR400 certified if that matters, although that level of certification is usually meaningless and barely qualifies as HDR.

      • elcap on 26/07/2020 - 18:46

        but in terms of physical dimensions, it would be more like this, right?

      • Slakemoth on 26/07/2020 - 19:44

        Great thanks for that. I hadn't appreciated the difference that ultra wide makes. I had also suspected the HDR cert was a bit bogus (like don't you need like 1000 nits to do HDR properly?)

    I do like the high refresh rate and the ASUS is so fast, but I guess higher res and bigger screen real estate would be nice. IDK.

    FYI before getting too excited "QHD 2560 x 1440"

      Yeah, I'd of thought you'd want something higher than QHD for a 32" screen. For that resolution, 27" seems like the sweet spot.

      Perfect resolution for that
