why people still using TN monitors

dont tell me its cheap; its the same price as VA, the same frames, and same everything !

so why gamers still use TN and not VA ?

full hd 144hz for monitors for example.

VA are currently superior to TN in nearly every aspect.

In the past TN was chosen for gaming due to VA not being able to support high refresh rates.

Having said the other type IPS does have the advantage over both TN and VA when it comes to viewing the display from the sides



actually YEs VA have 1ms response time. check you will find

Oh didn't know, all i've seen are curved. https://www.144hzmonitors.com/gaming-monitor-list/ Not one from there is straight. Unless theres one hiding there somewhere.

What models have you seen that are flat?
 
Hmm, it does look like nearly all 'gaming' VA monitors (typically 144Hz monitors) are curved. Especially <=27". I see some bigger panels that are flat, e.g. https://m.newegg.com/products/0JC-0081-00019

If you look at monitors that aren't necessarily branded as gaming monitors, there are lots. Can go on Newegg, go to LCD/LED monitors and filter by VA panel to see a list.

I have an HP Omen 32", which is a 75 Hz freesync VA monitor that isn't curved.
