    Hi, I'm a 12 year old kid with a curious question. Why is it so hard to find a 27-inch or 24-inch 144hz IPS panel monitor? I mean, I found a few but there's not much to choose from Why are they making more 144hz TN panels than 144hz IPS panel monitors? Aren't the colors better on an IPS monitor?
