VA panels aren't bad at all.

Indeed. My HP VA is amazing compared to any TN. It's night and day.

Compared to IPS the biggest downside is viewing angles aren't as good, however they are faster, provide better contrats which can lead to better image quality, and generally cheaper.
Most modern TVs use VA panels. You don't hear many complaints about them

Never tested the angles tbh. With a 32" you don't really need to.
I hate my Alienware TN. Right up until I load Doom and get a solid 200 FPS lol. Glad it's not my main screen though.

Oooo. How are you finding it? How is "ELMB SYNC"? That's the big feature ASUS is hyping up on that.
Not sure exactly what that is, LOL. I'm not daily driving this screen, since it's on my backup rig, which is about to get a 3700X heart transplant. I did play a few hours of No Man's Sky (sadly locked at 60fps), and holy crap does it look good. Amazing colors (mainly due to the Radeon VII), and the 144hz is NOTICEABLE. That took me by surprise. It's smooth as butter.

ELMB SYNC basically combines Adaptive Sync with Low motion blur tech to provide both features at once.
So you should have FreeSync without much blur. Sharp, fast refresh rate frame paced goodness. The TUF series is the only monitor with that ATM.
ULMB/ELMB (Low Motion Blur) tech is hard to run at variable refresh rates. Only ASUS TUF screens do it ATM.
Put an AMD GPU rig and an Nvidia rig side by side, with the same monitor. AMD blows them away in terms of color depth. My 1080TI's look pale and washed out by comparison. It's been that way forever, it's just that most people never have systems side by side to compare.
Cool, I can't say I noticed any blur at all. But I sure did notice the smoothness, even on a game that was hard locked to 60FPS. I feel like I *shouldn't* notice a difference between this 144hz screen and my AOG 100hz screen, especially when the game is locked at 60fps, but I do. I wonder if that ELMB SYNC is responsible for that.
