How much does screen quality bother you?

Just bought a 19'' HP monitor from a second hand shop for £10, quite impressed by it, colours are a bit off and not as bright as a modern LCD however I'm still pretty impressed. How about you do you need an uber high quality screen?

I wouldn't touch a TN with a barge pole.

With the exception of my 3DS I don't tend to buy things with TN panels.I have a variety IPS, VA, PLS and OLED over the rest of my stuff.
 
I have a 4K TN panel at the moment, and I miss the colours of my old 1200P IPS panels. :p

So I'd say it matters to me quite a bit!
 
I thought the same thing about TN (having never used it, and read a lot of bad things about it) until I got the Rog Swift. Been IPS and VA for years.

Situation turned on head.

The only real issue is the colour shift, but when you sit still when gaming, it's not an issue. The colour reproduction once calibrated is very very good.
 
Never going back to tn, IPS or VA for me so yes screen quality matters quite a bit :p

One thing, which a lot of people never think about is the anti-glare/matte coating, it makes such a massive difference to the clarity/sharpness, contrast etc. so that is equally just as important as the panel tech. imo.

I however have used TN panels and never liked them. The amount of colour shift is just too much. I can deal with a bit from a VA panel but not as much as you get from TN.

This too, I much prefer a display without any ag coating
 
^^

I would prefer no AG coating too but with the amount of light in my room, it would be reflection galore :p :(


The newer TN panels do sound very good but there is no way that I could put up with the contrast shift and the heavy anti-glare coatings.
 
Having suffered ips glow on a number of devices, I actively avoid IPS

I must be lucky, because as much as I hear people complaining about IPS glow, I've have had a display where it's only barely noticeable on an all black screen.

I've also noticed some people confuse back light bleed with IPS glow.

Some blinds would fix that. :p
 
I like my colours to be reasonably accurate when sitting at the panel - if I'm doing colour critical stuff I'll use an IPS or PLS panel but otherwise not that bothered aslong as the panel is sharp and colours look reasonably accurate and natural.
 
I've got some translucent blinds that let a lot of light in, but effectively diffuse it. The run rises opposite my windows too, so I get tho whole blast of sunlight with them open. But with them closed, the room is still really bright, and I can even use glass fronted monitors without glare! :D
 
Never bothered me until I started reading reviews of monitors when I wanted to upgrade. Now I cant stop wondering what the input lag and refresh rate and colour gamut is...
