I am currently looking for a new monitor for gaming and content creation (video editing), right now I am using a 1440p IPS 60hz monitor which I would like to step up to a 144Hz.

My issue is around VA and IPS, I have only ever owned a TN and IPS panel and never a VA. I understand IPS has better colour reproduction and VA gives deeper blacks but I have also read countless horror stories on VA panel issues.

Are the stories of VA true with black crush, smearing, ghosting & over shoot? I am tempted to just pay the premium for an IPS panel over VA but I am looking for peoples experiences of VA before I make that decision.
 
Very much appreciated for the advice, think that settles it. IPS it is, I just don't trust the ghosting and smearing.

Guess I will play the panel lottery and fingers crossed.
