IPS vs TN Monitors (ASUS PG279Q vs PG278Q) 

you're funny guy..

+Imano Santoso P HES A FUNNY GUY

I watched it on my Panny ST60 55 in Plasma, i'm certain of it myself, hahahah.

Nick Li watch it on your mobile

LG OLED... you can see *EVERYTHING*

@Mateusz Gruszka yes it is Black as black can get on a crt and 100hz sometimes

xD

@hudzz man i don't wanted to be racist i just wanted to describe how nice crts color accuracy is

Until your cat falls asleep on top of it.

😂😂

I read the comments and changed my mind several times more. Why is this so difficult?!

RochRich ikr?

Go for the IPS, belive me bro, you wont regret. I got the IPS one and I couldn't be happier. I have another ASUS Monitor as a 2nd Monitor (1080p 144hz) but it's a TN. And the difference in image quality is night and day. Also, the IPS one is much more pleasant to look at. The TN makes your eyes kinda tired after some hours, th IPS feels always so "light" for the eyes. Just belive me. The responce is basically not noticable between the two. MAYBE when you're a PRO player and play in big Arenas in Kora, MAYBE then you gonna choose another one. But even then. This thing is extremley fast. I love everything about this IPS monitor.

@@d4rkann749 Yet the input response of the PG279Q is still faster than his TN brother according to indipendent tests, but ye, go for the crappy TN and think about me in a few years when you regret it ^^

@@d4rkann749 Here 5:23 there you go, IPS is still faster lmao

+The Tech Chap TV Just a heads up, your links in the description are the wrong way

+David Forshaw lol

+David Forshaw Shhh thats for marketing strategys xD

+The Tech Chap TV yea, you messed that up. I just wrote a comment about that part, then saw this post. Nice review anyway. Though, once you go away from TN, there is no going back to those horrible viewing angles. The bigger the panel, the bigger the issue.

+Ludak021 well as i am the only one at my pc tn is fine on my Acer xb270hu and i don't play on an angle i have had ips and i hated the light bleeding through so i am very happy with my 1440p 144hz monitor.

Which settings can I chamge to avoid eye strain and headaches on my new IPS panel after I've had TN panel for years without any headaches??

White people man..smh if it was a black guy explaining he would be "TN got glare" "IPS is clear" "TN gets you headshot"

+Anorax same here!

+Frisson can u not get 1ms with ips?

+Nolan Thomas The Asus PG279Q is officially rated at 4ms G2G. But unless you have superman eyes it is unnoticeable during normal gaming. The technology built in to this IPS screen makes it irrelevant. The advantages far outweigh any G2G loss and this screen will make you re-think why you ever used TN in the first place. Here's an excellent review which explores in detail G2G measurement on this screen - www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_rog_swift_pg279q.htm

why though frisson... you wont be able to tell a ms differnece will u? theres 1k ms in one second soooo

+Frisson The guy in the computer store told you that didn't he. Best to judge for yourself. ;)

+urbanelemental thanks!

+Ahmed Maher Thanks very much Ahmed!

+Aegis Dawn yep perfectly normal ;)

IKR these better be 144hz 4k monitor with OLED.

Fa Vang and hdr

Here in Brazil they cost like 5 thousand. Which is like 5x the minimum wage(over 50% of the population barely makes 2 a month)

work harder then

glad it helped!

thanks!

+Sam Stevenson Glad it was helpful! :)

+Sam Stevenson Then why on earth would you wanna buy or even look at a review for these monitors?!? in order to benefit from these monitors, you'll need a GPU that will cost you pretty much the same amount that you paid for you whole build!!

+Morpheus Necrosis You're saying it like no one has access to a high end GPU...

It’s him and he is confusing us even more

Crt is 0ms and no native resolution and 80 to 100 hrz ^___^

@@aminepazzesco2868Whoa, 0ms and 100 Hz, that must be some expensive stuff :)

With some eye cancer bonus

+leonex606 thank you that's great to hear :)

its the opposite way bro

@@edu.33 Depends on how fast paced the porn is :)

porn so nobody at your side can immediately see what you're doing..naughty bastard.

That TN monitor must be capped @69hz

That IQ.... It's over 9000!!!!!

+ the Gsync :)

I have to agree, 1440p and 144hz are just awesome, but G-Sync/FreeSync is really overrated. It's a nice bonus but nothing more. (Or maybe it's because I never cared about tearing)

FeelsBadMan Yea true that if tearing isn't a focus area to improve for a gamer then its irrelevant to pay for:) But imo Gsync is too expensive.

they released a new version of the PG278Q with the PG278QR with 165hz

yea Asus had to remove PG278 from the market since too many with errors (I had to return mine and got a new one with issues also). PG278Q might be found without issues, but it was the 1st one with Gsync in 1440p and 144hz, so I suppose it was rushed out too early for marketing reasons.

Dumb peckerwood

Black levels matter ALOT more, imo

So a 144hz 1ms response time TN panel monitor is the winner here

You will notice the color shift of the TN panel due to its size, especially the vertical difference... it's just horrible.

not while you are gaming

UlTrApLeX I already noticed it on a 24 inch screen, a 27 inch is even more horrible. The IPS has such immensively better colors, that you won't believe it until you have seen them in real life. I did and the TN version looked like a 10+ year old monitor POS compared to the IPS.

xXYannuschXx Which monitors are you comparing? model and brand...

y porque el tn y no el ips ?

"it recently broke" I've had a TN monitor for 7 years now.

nonsense.. all monitors display 16 million colors... if one seems more vibrant and vivid then turn up the saturation and gamma and brightness on the other.

Tyler Fox tn trash compared to ips

You need too see the difference i guess to realise how wrong you are. the amount of colors shown doesn't have anything to do with how strong they are or brightness and contrast. When your monitor is using 6bit and/or needs calibration, it will create banding on gradients. to cover up those gradients, dithering is used which can appear as noise in between supported colors. You might have to look close and sometimes at an angle to see the dithering. an 8 or 10bit monitor support more colors so they will have smoother gradients and less to no dithering needed to display that perfectly smooth cradient. A monitor with a greater gamut running colors outside the sRGB space will benefit greatly from a higher bit depth panel. since that will otherwise make banding in gradients more pronounced on a 6bit panel. While the graphics card may be set to send 16million colors to the monitor, it doesn't mean the monitor can display it. Just because the sun is shining bright in the sky doesn't mean it can shine through a tree. Thats why shadows exist.

Just like IPS panels, there are several different levels of quality on TN panels. I have an IPS dell monitor and a 144hz asus TN monitor and to be honest the colors are actually better on this TN panel, thats not to say there aren't IPS panels out there that are better, but just saying just because its IPS doesn't automatically mean its better.

porq te encanta x los colores o por la velocidad

Wait until you see oled panels lol, and IPS is known to have IPS glow/backlight bleed so your old TN panel must be horrible...

Which settings can I chamge to avoid eye strain and headaches on my new IPS panel after I've had TN panel for years without any headaches??

165hz

oh look! theres whole 2 games you are gonna hit 165 fps!

+Z Not with 2 Titan xps

Yes, especially with 2 titan xp, pretty much only a few triple a games support and scale in sli, so theres gonna be little difference with 2 cards, and also it's a bit weird on it's game performance and the gtx 1080 is only 10 frames under it for nearly half the price so yeah.

Oh look I hit 240 fps on csgo with the 970 woooow the 166hz monitor is really useless now isn't it woooow dude wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Arsenio Allison For FPS, is TN better? I never lean back while playing

practically speaking, that goes for VA monitor aswell. for @Brandon Cosme then you would want a TN monitor as it has the best pixel response time (1ms) and higher refresh rate. but it wont very enjoyable for games other than FPS and something like LoL as it has terrible blackness.

yeah im trying to decide myself and my worry is having to constantly adjust my monitor as i go from sitting to lying down because i have my pc on the coffee table right in front of the couch in the living room. before you judge me dont act like you never thought about it and if you havnet at least thought of it i feel sorry for you lol

Having a good quality TN monitor can actually help with this though, my Dell S2417dg I believe the model number is, has really good angles for a TN display and has everything else I need, plus for me personally, I hate backlight bleed, so, yeah, I think each person is a bit different in some respects, to each their own though.

LMAO exactly, I also though that I was always in front of the monitor but in reality I’m not and it just looks amazing when I come back from the toilet and see nice colors when I’m walking towards the computer instead of seeing nothing.

look at amazon and newegg owner comments and ratings on recent vs prior purchases and asus has not improved QA on either motherboards or monitors but I still buy asus although its a crapshoot for evga, msi, acer, or asus- but they are the market leaders. just be ready to return stuff as a price we pay for all this technolgy

Colours are very noticeable, and if its inlynfor gaming so are response time. Honestly, if you only game, go TN, everything else is IPS or VA

+Techsec but that tn you had was maybe so bad because its older and not because its tn, right

+Lars Willems I find a lot of people using this argument. Kinda reminds me of the Apple vs Microsoft argument. At first they will own a 300 dollar garbage Windows laptop, and then they will buy a 2000 dollar Mac, and say things like "ugh, I could never go back to that shitty Microsoft stuff". While if you were to spend 2000 dollar on a Microsoft Laptop, well, things wouldn't be so bad now would they. Same goes with this IPS vs TN, I believe IPS has great advantages and potential, but people are constantly comparing their old, maybe even cheap TN to their brand new IPS. Not a fair comparison I would say. The technologies are, as it stands, pretty comparable, just look at this video.

+imKORV Agreed 100 %

+imKORV totally true, people often they not even see any kind of new tn panel, sure ips is better , but first this monitor is ips -like, oem is auoptronics, an monitor is ahva, not ips wich is owned just by LG, and second in game doesn't seem this large difference, for sure for professional is better ips, but not this, other better ips

+imKORV well maybe you are right

i dont think anyone likes the idea

Same....

backlight bleed lottery is the sole reason that is preventing me from buying the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QZ monitor

@@JustinZero0 if you get backlight bleed you can return the monitor and get another one if your warranty hasn't expired

Get it on amazon they’ll literally send ups to pick it up if you need to exchange for free

I twitched a bit too eyelid quivered and brain short circuited

I love TN for what it is worth, especially because IPS is much more expensive.

Yes I completely agree. I upgraded from PG278q to PG279q, the IPS glow destroyed that monitor. I'll be sticking with the 278q for a long time.. Great monitor

I Agree, it's purely opinion, not what is better. The reason I went with the PG278Q is not because of price. It supports 3D and I have the 3D Vision Kit. Also I found out from my own tests that Increasing the refresh rate increases response time, therefore creating more ghosting(I hate ghosting, it's a terrible distraction, TN is the best way to stay away from it). Because Good TN Panels naturally have a 1MS response time, they can handle higher refresh rates better without creating as much ghosting. Problem with these monitors though, specifically is the bezel puts pressure on the screen causing the majority of the light bleed. There are ways to fix it. But I won't say as I don't want to be held responsible for anything lol.

I have my s2716dg TN and my ASUS pg279q in front of me right now and i can barely see the difference between the two with the right color calibration on my TN except the black and white. I just got mine today imgur.com/a/U2CAP

Obviously this is subjective but in general IPS destroys TN panel by FAR FAR. Anyway I'm looking for the AOC g2460PG TN because is the only cheap I found. Difficult to find a 1080p IPS high refresh rate.
