Question Budget VA monitor vs budget IPS monitor

[Kyrpousin]

Searching to buy a monitor for my ryzen 5600g setup (will buy a GPU later). My main problem on choosing a monitor is, should it be a VA or an IPS monitor? (budget up to 230€)

With that budget, a high refresh IPS panel is within reach, no reason not to get that.

ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q is an easy recommendation.

Depends on intended use, but typically IPS has better image quality. Personally, I would go with this one.

Both displays have pros and cons.

What size are you looking at and what gpu do you have now?

Generally speaking, VA's offer deep blacks and good color with somewhat narrower viewing angles. Some "smearing" can occur with fast motion.

IPS panels have very good colors, a wider viewing angle but poor blacks compared to a VA. IPS panels can also suffer from "glow".

This tends to come down to what your eyes see. Do you have a Best Buy or similar store near you? First thing I recommend is to go look at different displays and see what your eyes prefer.

I use an IPS panel. Wish it had better blacks but the image is crsip and smooth for FPS shooters.

I think that 24" is a good size. I don't have an external gpu now so I'm using my ryzen 5600g with its own integrated graphics
