Sir 😢 i need your help.. my laptop has a broken screen i cant even see and change the setting to display.. i also connect the HDMI😢 but still nothing happen😢
Guys, everything is very simple, IPS - for those who love light, VA - for those who play for darkness
What is the scrolling colorful text test - whre can i find it?
IPS is ancient trash technology, it's time for it to be phased out. My VA monitor doesn't have black smearing anywhere near that bad btw.
idk if youll still answer questions but how about MVA panels? im currently looking to buy a monitor that says it has an MVA panel which after doing a couple searches says that it is a little better than a standard VA panel. What are your thoughts on this
If i play first person game and i move it to the right does it change monitor? I HOPE NOT
Hey can i connect an xbox to the big monitor like when i open the xbox app on the big monitor and use mouse and keyboard so when i drag it, it changed slot

Not me watching on my 2010 18.5" 60Hz Samsung SyncMaster B1930HD TN Monitor, I have the worst of both worlds

How the gl is compare to the newest gp850
guy you saved my 1000 bucks. I want perfect handwriting but do not want to stick to iPad. It is ok but now it is a races with the models make “oldies” come to retirement earlier than before. i really appreciate that you show this handwriting experience since windows did not come to to the point in drawing where it rises and shines 😢. But i guess one day …
ok, how bout my problem, when i open a game on one screen and click on the other, it will exit the game and minimize it, making it teriibly inefficent, and for elden ring, it is way to difficult to put it from minimized to regular
im seeing on my va panel and cant see the smearing on 2:20 :D
Thanks great video
is the g6 the same as the g7?
Our company is an enterprise customer from dell. We have about 80 optiplex minis and over 100 laptops for remote work. All devices are leased/rented, so almost all devices can get replaced without any questions asked. Due to this situation our boss got 2 of those dell g5 pc's for our team lounge to play games after work on the tv. It just works and is just as replaceable as our other workstations. I think that was the main point with those G5's. Im not sure what follows if one of those two pc's break if dell wont offer a 1:1 replacement anymore haha.
I have this ghosting problem on my tv and i cant turn it off it only has one option called noise reduction is there any external device i can use like edid emulator or displayport to make the picture look clear thx in advance.
I'm getting black smearing on a IPS monitor, should i buy a TN?
Major help. Thank you!
This is the best IPS vs VA comparison on the internet.
i have a lenovo g32qc-30 and its a VA panel, i had ghosting problem, after some settings adjustments it fixed
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
anyone who still went for VA panel monitors? how did it go?
La vidéo n'est pas conparatif sur mon écran OLED je vois les deux écrans magnifique en terme de noir
VA = movies IPS = gaming
dude this is exactly what i wanted to see and know! thank you so much def earned a subscribe from me!!!
play on VA is like you have motion blur on by default.
How the #$^&*! do you get the press buttons to work on this piece of crap?
thank you man
VA > IPS all day, everyday. Colors are amazing on VAs. IPS are just overrated.
Yes, the VA Panel viewing angles are terrible ... would never get a VA Panel again
Thank you
as a competitve gamer time to switch to IPS panel XD.. had VA panel for 2yrs and it's great for content creations
just bought a va panel, mine has no ghosting or inverse ghosting almost as smooth as my 240hz tn benq xl2540k not quite there yet but WHAT I DIDNT EXPECT it fucking looks like shit, i bought it thinking it would have better colors it really doesn't and also it looks blurry as shit for what ever reason, viewing angles are even worse than my TN even though va panels are much faster DONT BUY ONE THEY LOOK LIKE SHIT, ips is truly superior even though the contrast ratio sucks, VA colors suck contrast ratio is better but it looks blurry[test looks blurry etc] even with sharpness turned up and washed out.
Curved monitors generally have much better colour reproduction and accuracy than flat monitors
Never ever buy VA panels. The end.
Some random neighbour's cat destroyed my VA panel monitor yesterday when i was asleep. Then i ordered ips panel monitor thanks to the cat.
Ips has ghosting too lmao
@@krak3n852 not as bad as va
nerd
VA is awful and completely inacceptable.
The higher contrast of VA is so good for me but that black smearing is worrying me. And the price is better. I think i'm going with VA. Wish me luck.
For gaming VA its bad decision, because ghosting blow your eyes
Very very useful video. Thank you for making it very clear!
Your 60 htz phone is pretty bad, mines nothing like that.
I switched mine from 90 to 60 and it's fine, no noticeable difference.
I don't notice any difference, changed my phone to 60 and the battery lasts twice as long.
i have a fairly noice VA monitor but i'm seeing none of these when i look
Man VA is the new TN. Just buy it if you're on a tight budget and dont care about quality
get an iPad
5:20 it's bad
that's looking for thanks
