    Do you use the monitor primarily at night, or day? Do you plan on watching movies at night? Do you already use an ips monitor currently? When I was buying my first monitor (after using gaming laptops for a long time), and I noticed that the IPS monitors are all too bright, and have very bad blacks/contrast ratio for movies/dark content at night. I tried out a variety of monitors, and ended up with an LG VA monitor and have been happy with that. I use my pc mostly at night, and this monitor is pretty good for that. If you want the best, you could go for oled monitors, but they’re considerable more expensive.

      I use a laptop which is probably IPS or tn. I watch movies on a TV, and I use my computer in a bright room, whether or not it’s night

        I used an IPS laptop too. However, laptops go a lot lower on minimum brightness compared to monitors for whatever reason. Shouldn’t matter to you since you always use it in a bright room. IPS should be good to you.
