Elliot Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi guys, I was poking around Amazon and saw a listing for this monitor: AOC U3277PWQU 32-Inch Class VA LED Monitor, 4K (3840x2160). I looked up "VA" and found "vertical alignment". I looked this up on Wikipedia and it redirected me to IPS. It does say that you get a wide viewing angle, but I get no information on calibration-ability. Is a VA monitor good for photo editing, in the way an IPS monitor is? Do we collectively recommend this, or not recommend it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 VA is the new kid on the block. It's supposed to be a combination of TN (Twisted Nematic) and IPS (In Plane Switching.) You get a better viewing angle than a standard TN display and better blacks. It's geared towards more gamers and first-person shooters. VA really doesn't reproduce colors that well, though it's better than a TN display but not as good as a IPS panel. If you are editing photos (or video) it's better to get a true IPS display. I would not purchase a TN display or VA for editing photos. Edit: VA Display Panels might be labeled as MVA or PVA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
