IPS or TN monitor

[III/JG52_Supongo]

Hi friends.

 

What technology is best for IL2 BoX? IPS monitor (60 Mhz / 8 ms) or TN G-Sync monitor (144 Mhz / 1 ms)?

 

Thanks

It depends on monitor model and even a specific unit of the monitor but IMO I will get higher Mhz with g-sync over image quality and colors reproduction.  The difference between 60 and 100fps is big, especially with fast moving objects case like Fsims. With higher FPS 100 and above; dogfight, deflection shooting, dive bombing is simpler form my experience.  You see the more of something like "movement flow" hard to describe.  But pushing more than 100 FPS is demanding for hardware so You will need to lower Your Graphic settings, depends of your specs.

You can also get a monitor that has IPS panel ,144hz and G-Sync. Refresh rate would be slightly higher on IPS panel but it won't make any difference in BoS.

 

I could not go back to TN panel personally but it's your choice.

 

Check out Acer Predator monitors for example.

I would recommend a IPS over NT every time,  my current monitor is a Asus MG279Q 144hz. I didn't get the G-sync version as it was £100 more and I was not willing to pay that.

It's a great monitor and can highly recommend it, I've had mine nearly 2 years now.

Nothing wrong with TN as long as it has a decent processor in it.  Bad is 8bit, good is 10bit.

 

Have a BenQ 27 1440p Freesync which runs 144hz and it is much nicer to fly on than a 60hz panel even if my frames are jumping from between 80 to 120hz.

 

Smoother looking around with IR tracking and visuals in general.
