That's a TN panel....not even close in viewing quality to an IPS panel.

Tbh im not looking for quality, I'm just looking for something stable cheap and able to run 1080p

As i'm not running anything better than d2

That's why it's cheap.

@ OP you can always check craigslist

I did, nothing in my area unfortunately lol.

The IPS panel I linked is like $20 more...

/e ...and, it has better: viewing angle, better pixel pitch

I bought 2 of those vs238's from the seller I linked you to, I got mine for $55 shipped each brand new. I don't know what people are talking about viewing angle and such I have no issue seeing mine from sitting in any spot. And I am playing poe on max settings and it looks amazing on this monitor.

it's like once you go black, u never go back.

It's a known fact TN panels have worse colors & viewing angles than IPS monitors.

The typical downside of IPS is they have slower refresh rates, And there's very few IPS 144hz panels available atm.

that's my point most people buying these monitors for gaming will be sitting in a desk right in front of their monitor, Why wouldnt you want the better contrast ratio and refresh rate? I am not buying my monitor for color reproduction as I have a nice tv used for that. TN all the way for gaming.



I have turned a few girls who would beg to differ

u got it backwards bro,
you should be asking why people wouldnt want better colors and view etc.
refresh rates means nothing as long as it's 60+ if ur not playing competitive fps game, and you're pretty much describing casuals.
