    A monitor is the primary output component of a computer. This video explains the different monitor types such as LCD, LED, OLED, and CRT. It also explains the different types of flat panels on LCD monitors such as TN, IPS, and VA. It also discusses resolutions, contrast ratios, refresh rates and response times. Which monitor is the best for gaming?

    Important note, IPS monitors are becoming more and more affordable and even sometimes at the same price as TN pannels, which makes TN pannels irrelevent to buy because response time is heavily influenced by whats displayed on the monitor & that advertised response time is 99% of the time not the same as the real response time

    • @rarinth
      @rarinth 10 місяців тому +18

      1. TN is known for beating IPS in response time. That's why the Zowie monitors (which still uses TN) are more popular than any monitor in e-sports, espescially in CSGO.
      2. Only TN was able to perform close to it's advertised response time. The Zowie monitors (with a little bit of changing the OD settings) measured an average of 1.4 ms. Compared to the rest of the popular gaming monitors, which measure an average of 2-3 ms, this is fast by today's standards.
      3. With OLED becoming cheaper and QLED about to release, IPS will be inferior when it comes to gaming. OLED and QLED will be a balance between fast competitive tryhard response time and high color accuracy for PS nerds.
      With OLED being cheaper, QLED about to release, and the problems of backlight bleed, IPS is and will be always a joke in the future. Always remember, do not take marketing seriously.

      @@rarinth IPS is not and will not be a joke in the future. I think it's you who needs to check the marketing stories. With miniled technology, an IPS panel is almost as good color-wise as an OLED, while having none of its drawbacks. The burnin is a serious issue for a monitor (less so for a TV). That's why IPS will be the standard for at least the next decade. TN is only marginally faster than IPS nowadays and only the top competitive players can actually benefit from it.

      @@Winnetou17 Still, OLEDs are far better than, any IPS panel, even MiniLED, even if MiniLED has higher nits of brightness compared to OLED, OLED is far more responsive and color acurrate than any IPS panel. MiniLED suffers from backlight problems when it comes to, for example: "a white text in a dark background" its called, blooming o halo effect which makes certain scenarios not color acurrate and sometimes frustrating. This is where micro-OLED comes in, it has better contrast ratio, faster or same response time as OLED and better brightness, and pixel density. Currently used in Apple Vision Pro, best technology so far, not coming in the new future tho, sadly. (there is another one kinda cheaper its called microLED)

    IPS - Can have back light bleeding on cheap/bad models (bad quality control) but they did catch up with the refresh/response time of older TNs.
    TN - On high end they do offer a more safe bet having no issues other than color reproduction but for normal use won't be even noticeable.
    VA - Most I seen on reviews, even the high-end suffer smearing and is a no go for games on dark environments.
    OLED/QD-OLED - Best monitor for every type of use, they are more expensive but becoming affordable as time goes by, burn pixels issues doesn't make them very suitable for PC but slowly getting fix with newer models.
    I love IPS as a safe bet (work right out of the box, no issues) and they perform better even for games since color also help spot things better, specially around dark colors where TN usually fails.
    OLED is going to be the big jump in technology and will probably replace everything else in the long run but same as SSD vs HDD cheap and durable is always a good option to have.
    There is also 10 bit color on OLED been something more of a standard (for professional use).
    Some IPS come with HDR technology, this comes for free on OLED since they can already do this natively (as far as I know)

      I bought a 4K IPS monitor 6 years ago or so and it had severe back light bleeding, expensive product and I couldn't stand it. Returned it, but wouldn't want to buy IPS for a monitor ever again after that. Sadly I want something that doesn't exist yet (27" QD-OLED or something better? with at least 144 hz that isn't curved). Currently on a 24" TN @ 1440p 165hz

    Something not mentioned about resolution;
    Older CRT monitors could usually display a range of resolutions. They couldn't go as high as today's monitors, but it wasn't uncommon to find ones that would go up to 1600x1200. This wasn't just a meaningless setting in your Desktop preferences, the monitor would actually adjust itself to display that exact resolution. CRT monitors/TVs are also the only type of display that traditional lightguns will work on. Some companies are now starting to make lightguns that can be used with LCD displays, but if you have an old lightgun, it's not going to work with modern displays.
    By contrast, all LCD monitors are manufactured with a resolution that is set in stone. If a monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080, that's the resolution it will always display. It literally can't display anything else. If you set your Desktop to a different resolution, like 1280x720, the monitor will show it, and it will mostly look OK, but the monitor will be scaling it up to 1920x1080, which loses that "razor sharp" look that LCDs displays all boast. Likewise if you set the Desktop to a higher resolution, the monitor will scale it down, losing detail in the process.
    Another thing to consider is that the higher the resolution you set your computer to, the more CPU power it takes to drive that display. This probably doesn't matter with causal everyday use, but when watching videos or playing games, higher resolutions are more demanding. A game that might run at 60 FPS at 1280x720 might stutter when played at 1920x1080 or higher.

    Acctually there`s a slight error on the resolutions name, 2560x1440 is 2,5k, not 2k as people usually say, because it is 2.500 pixels wide (so, 2,5k).
    And 1920x1080 would be closer to 2k (the real 2k resolution is 2048x1080p, a slighty different aspect ratio than 16:9).
    The same applies to 3840x2160p, it's right to call it 4k since it's very close, but the "Real 4K" would be 4096x2160p (the exact double of 2k)
