Straight to the point.
My scenario: I play games like CS:GO (I play it kinda seriously and a bit competitive but nothing unusual), GTA, Witcher, etc (yeah CSGO's the only competitive game I play), and I edit videos (no hardcore movie editing, just light and normal csgo editing and montages and fragmovies). I like to watch youtube videos and movies but I don't mind image quality too much.

Now my question is, is a 3ms diff noticable in competitive gameplay (like in CS:GO)?
(Answer that sole question first before relating it to the benefits of IPS, because that's a different question)

Here are the 2

No, it's not the response time you'll notice, it's the input lag, if there's even a difference, I haven't locked that up. The response time marketing is just 100% fake. For competetive gaming, aim for a higher refresh rate, it doesn't matter if one monitor is 1 ms and TN, it's not better.

My projector has got a response time of 10 microseconds, that's 100x faster than any LCD with Lightboost even. Yet I still see blur in games when moving fast, and that's because I'm playing at 60 Hz, there aren't enough frames for my eyes to keep up. That kind of throws the response time argument out the window.

Hope you find what you look for,

All the best!
