ips panel
g2g is 2.5ms
165hz, or 180z if you enable oc

looks like a great choice for its price

I always found Viwesonic to have good build quality and less light bleed than other brands using IPS, been a while since my last one though.

viewsonic doesnt make the panels, most are from lg and samsung
but they do pick the backlighting and main/power boards to go along with them

but yea viewsonic has always been a very good budget brand, even when they made crts in the 90s

Alright, after the post I kept on researching so I get a grasp of displays, at least for the basics. And it seems to go this way(I'm mostly writing this for myself, but I'd love anyone to correct me or expand on this):

OLED: Is best because of how its technology works and the overall quality it provides vs the alternatives. But there are burn-in issues to be wary of and its much more expensive.

IPS and VA: Where it looks like one is good at what the other is bad and viceversa... so it would be a matter of trading off one good thing for another and then deal with whatever bad thing either type can present.

TN: highlights are that it allows for much higher refresh rates and response times at cheaper prices, but seems to fall behind in every other aspect.

And then there's these Mini LED, Micro LED tech: Technology used for displays(such as IPS or VA) to provide better contrasts than usual, and shorten the quality difference with OLED, while still being more affordable.

From what I get, the choices are:

a) spend big money on OLED and hope not to be affected by burn-in. Not quite realistic for me.

b) spend less money(but still more than initially expected) on some higher-end Mini LED IPS/VA that manage to keep their known issues at minimum. More realistic, but I have to find one such model where I live, and for a reasonable price.

c) spend even less money on some budget VA or IPS and learn to live with any issues they will come with. Very realistic, but I know too much now. I'm not sure I'd do it.


What rabbit hole have I shoved down myself into...

newer oled will take 2+ years to really notice screen burn
which is fine if you want ot upgrade/replace in that time

but lcd panels can last 15+ years and cost much less

zoned lcd panels are ok, can get better dark areas, of if one pixel in the zone is not black, the backlight for that zone needs to be on
but cant really be done with edge lit panels, works only on back lit thicker monitors

or backlight pulsing (ulmb) can make it appear sharper, turning the backlight off while pixels are changing colors, will look less smeary
but that does make the image somewhat darker
