TN monitors change colours depending on the angle at which you view them.
TN - cheap, with fast response, not accurate colours reproduction
IPS - slower but very stable colours reproduction no matter how you move in front of the monitors, lower quality blacks
VA - the most real blacks and I think overall the one that should be preferred.
I must point out that this is missing information: You are right in saying low quality blacks and that IPS is indeed slower than TN, however IPS is
not slower than VA.
With a VA panel you will likely get really nice contrast ratios and good viewing angles. Your blacks will also be pretty much perfect.
However, even at high refresh rates, most VA monitors have bad GTG response time, meaning you will notice a tiny bit of motion blur; more than that which an IPS panel will exhibit.
Personally, my go to is IPS and it always has been IPS. I tried a VA panel (Acer Predator Z35P) and had loads of smearing issues which just strained my eyes the minute I move around in FPS games etc
What you need to ask yourself is this:
Do you want to sacrifice colour accuracy for responsiveness? Choose TN
Do you play fast paced games and want excellent colours? Choose IPS
Do you play casual, immersive games that aren't very fast-paced? Choose VA
It does still come down to preference so the best way to figure it out is go to a retail store and see for yourself
