They still have high input lag and high response times as well as that "glow" when showing blacks. And they ghost. Yes, their colors are badass which makes them better for photo editing, etc. Believe it or not I got some crazy vision and can notice input lag/ghosting like a beast. I don't really care about insane color reproduction or AMAZING viewing angles since I'll be sitting in front of my monitor. I want to go with 120hz and their colors and viewing angles are good enough for me.Haha, I'm a hardcore FPS gamer (for more then 15 years now) and I can tell you, the new (more expensive, 350+ dollars) IPS monitors are absolutely suited for gaming (no ghosting, tearing, low response times, no input lag), especially when they're designed for gaming like the Eizo Foris 2332 (and upcoming 2333) which are both IPS monitors designed for gaming.
Can anyone recommend me a good 120hz monitor? I don't want IPS. I'm a gamer not a designer. I care more about FPS than I do color reproduction.
About you hating the "glow" of IPS monitors in blacks, really, if you notice THAT, you'll hate the TN panels even more because with TN imagine having colorshift-glows on red, green, blue and white as well because of the color shifting at the edges of the screen when you're sitting in front of it because of the terrible viewing angles...
I'm just warning you, TN isn't just "bad" on color reproduction and viewing angles, it's just plain terrible and worse then you think. But if you want to go 120hz, I won't stop you. Just don't expect to view photo's / browse the web with it, because you'll think your eyes are malfunctioning... it's that terrible... That's why I returned mine...
You can always go for 2 monitors, one TN Panel for 120hz gaming and one IPS Panel for browsing the web, without having a free LSD trip... xD
