The more I read, the more of a nightmare this seems. I use the PC mostly in the evening/night so dim to dark rooms. So VA rather than low contrast IPS? But I like fast FPS and racing games, where I read VA's smearing can be an issue? Also sometimes have several people looking at screen fairly close so not keen on TN's low viewing angles.

And I also read about poor quality control, don't want to dead pixels!

How bad is IPS in a dark room?
How bad is VA with fast gaming and racing?
 
I’ve got the 27” LG 27GN950-B 4K 144hz IPS monitor. This video shows the Samsung G7 VA panel vs the 27” LG 27GN950-B IPS playing the same video clip.

The IPS screen is mainly just brighter so you don’t get as deep blacks. It’s fine for me but YMMV.
