Monitor Setups

[Kekkerer]

To illustrate my pro IPS point here is the difference between viewing angles for a normal (TN) vs IPS displays.

Lots of useful information about displays:

The monitor I mentioned is IPS and that's why it's got a price premium. IPS for multi monitor setups is great because on normal monitors you see significant colour variation due to varying viewing angles per monitor, that does not occur with IPS (They advertise viewing angles of 178 degrees with no colour variation). The problem with IPS is that you have to do quite a bit of research on which one to buy, you generally want to avoid ones that have built in scalers because that increases input lag and in my opinion LED marix backlighting is the only way to go. Samsung panels for example have a row of LEDs on the sides which makes the panels much thinner but you get a lot of backlight bleed (Edge-LED).

They're also 2560x1440 resolution which adds to the price quite a bit. Sexy as hell in my opinion (single 2560x1600 here - never going back...ever), but require more processing grunt to run.

The IPS comparison looks great, def gonna get some of those next time I change monitors.
