is it IPS really better than VA pannel?

There are pros and cons to both IPS (In-Plane Switching) and VA (Vertical Alignment) panel technologies used in LED monitors. It's difficult to definitively say that one is universally "better" than the other, as the superiority depends on the specific use case and user priorities.

Here's a quick comparison of the key differences:

IPS Advantages:

• Better viewing angles - IPS panels maintain image quality even at wide viewing angles.
• More accurate and consistent colors.
• Faster response times, better for fast-moving content like gaming.
•  

VA Advantages:

• Higher native contrast ratios, often exceeding 3,000:1.
• Deeper black levels and better HDR performance.
• Less susceptibility to IPS glow and backlight bleed issues.
•  

In general, IPS panels are considered better for activities that prioritize color accuracy, viewing angles, and response time, such as photo/video editing, general productivity, and gaming. VA panels excel more for entertainment and media consumption, where contrast, black levels, and HDR are important.

However, there is significant overlap and both panel types have made major strides in recent years. Many newer VA monitors now offer competitive response times and color reproduction. Conversely, high-end IPS displays can match or exceed the contrast ratios of VA panels.

So in the end, the "best" panel type depends heavily on the individual user's needs and preferences. For most general use cases, both IPS and VA can provide an excellent visual experience. The choice often comes down to weighing the specific strengths of each technology against the intended use.
