[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

What is VA?

[@Starwarsgames66]

OLED it is then. Been using OLED since 2016. LG 55 E6. I will never go back. Never!

[@navigatorofnone]

wow, you have an awesome monitor.

[@audiencebigg6302]

Ayy, it's PowerCert! Keep up the great work!

[@georgevel]

Never seen a 0.5ms screen, awesome

The expert of explaining back at it again

[@AhmedSamir-nd2cz]

you are right , the expert of explaining

[@avinboss6122]

Yes

[@Freemason87]

You are two trillion% right

[@pasteleftDane]

Or the expert of PowerPoint, I presume.

[@DominatorHDX]

As always, PowerCert is the crème de la crème when it comes to explaining computer and tech related things as basic as possible while still being highly informative. If they ever going to replace tech articels on Wikipedia with video's only, I highly recommend this guy! 😅😜

[@mprime1716]

Every time I watch your new uploads, I am amazed by the quality. The editing and animations are executed perfectly. Thank you for making difficult concepts so easy to understand!

[@Nessalpl]

Damn, I was looking for some informations about differences between LCD, LED, OLED like 1-2 months ago and now you're on this topic, thank you very much. Your videos are super simply explained, keep it up

[@ozakione]

Important note, IPS monitors are becoming more and more affordable and even sometimes at the same price as TN pannels, which makes TN pannels irrelevent to buy because response time is heavily influenced by whats displayed on the monitor & that advertised response time is 99% of the time not the same as the real response time

[@rarinth]

1. TN is known for beating IPS in response time. That's why the Zowie monitors (which still uses TN) are more popular than any monitor in e-sports, espescially in CSGO. 2. Only TN was able to perform close to it's advertised response time. The Zowie monitors (with a little bit of changing the OD settings) measured an average of 1.4 ms. Compared to the rest of the popular gaming monitors, which measure an average of 2-3 ms, this is fast by today's standards. 3. With OLED becoming cheaper and QLED about to release, IPS will be inferior when it comes to gaming. OLED and QLED will be a balance between fast competitive tryhard response time and high color accuracy for PS nerds. With OLED being cheaper, QLED about to release, and the problems of backlight bleed, IPS is and will be always a joke in the future. Always remember, do not take marketing seriously.

[@Winnetou17]

@@rarinth IPS is not and will not be a joke in the future. I think it's you who needs to check the marketing stories. With miniled technology, an IPS panel is almost as good color-wise as an OLED, while having none of its drawbacks. The burnin is a serious issue for a monitor (less so for a TV). That's why IPS will be the standard for at least the next decade. TN is only marginally faster than IPS nowadays and only the top competitive players can actually benefit from it.

[@joelsantoro5221]

@@Winnetou17 Still, OLEDs are far better than, any IPS panel, even MiniLED, even if MiniLED has higher nits of brightness compared to OLED, OLED is far more responsive and color acurrate than any IPS panel. MiniLED suffers from backlight problems when it comes to, for example: "a white text in a dark background" its called, blooming o halo effect which makes certain scenarios not color acurrate and sometimes frustrating. This is where micro-OLED comes in, it has better contrast ratio, faster or same response time as OLED and better brightness, and pixel density. Currently used in Apple Vision Pro, best technology so far, not coming in the new future tho, sadly. (there is another one kinda cheaper its called microLED)

[@nagiaachou3618]

IPS will not never be a joke, Sir. At least, IPS share most of the market now.(IPS = VA >>TN). Besides, even if OLED getting cheaper, but it will never cheaper than IPS. IPS will always exist indeed.@@rarinth

[@rarinth]

@@nagiaachou3618 yeah, oled will still be more expensive than ips, but there are now things such as qled or micro led

[@aniruddhaghosh2722]

I absolutely love the way he explains such a complex topic in such an understandable manner. The way he used the examples from real life so that we can relate to it was absolutely amazing. I have become a huge fan of this guy.

[@kaiiiichen]

This was so so well put! Thank you so much for explaining monitors in such a simplistic and eye-appealing way!

[@iomatthew]

Didn't saw so far a well explained video like this about Monitors and the various types of technologies! 👏

[@TheJCJexe]

Wow, I really learned a lot, I knew these different types of monitors existed just never bothered to look up the differences. The reason I prefer watching your videos is because of the visuals and the way you explain it so clearly and make it interesting!

[@jdmxxx38]

Another great job. Now I understand monitor specs, performance and pricing a lot better. Thanks for your effort.

[@wildcharm911]

This is the most comprehensive, easy to understand video on monitors. I've been surfing on KZbin for so many different videos and this is definitely the best video.

[@SirChivalRegal]

I agree.

[@rajeshmohan7881]

Superb information. I was looking for only this kind of crisp and clear information on display

[@TheRiteOfKindling]

Your videos are so helpful and your animations break things down so well. Thank you!!

[@charlesmoore1762]

Hard to imagine a better, more understandable, logically organized presentation than this! Excellent; many thanks!! Even if you already sort-of know this stuff, it's easy to forget the hierarchy and the sequence of development of these displays. We become victims of jargon, and this video puts things in order and makes it easy to understand.

[@mooripo]

Thanks so much, I loved from the start the easy going explanation.

[@GururajBN]

You are a wonderful communicator. Absolutely lucid. A storehouse of knowledge! Many thanks. Today I have also learnt what is 4K and why it’s called 4K. 14 minutes spent usefully.👍

[@khawajadanishaltaf1847]

Answered all my questions without asking! Thank you so much for the video!

[@SiofraTural]

Thank you SO very much for making these videos! I’m trying to do a career change from retail into IT and I’ve been constantly watching your video on the CompTIA A+ certification. Keep up the great work because visuals really help, especially for us people with ADHD. 👍

[@md.nahidulalamchowdhury9568]

Explanations of your videos are simply the best. Keep going, Sir.

[@greenboarder89]

one of the best made videos ive seen on youtube! great job! love the funny animations :D

Great and informative video, thank you for posting

[@George_K1]

Fantastic video on monitors... Excellent

[@ThunderKat]

IPS - Can have back light bleeding on cheap/bad models (bad quality control) but they did catch up with the refresh/response time of older TNs. TN - On high end they do offer a more safe bet having no issues other than color reproduction but for normal use won't be even noticeable. VA - Most I seen on reviews, even the high-end suffer smearing and is a no go for games on dark environments. OLED/QD-OLED - Best monitor for every type of use, they are more expensive but becoming affordable as time goes by, burn pixels issues doesn't make them very suitable for PC but slowly getting fix with newer models. I love IPS as a safe bet (work right out of the box, no issues) and they perform better even for games since color also help spot things better, specially around dark colors where TN usually fails. OLED is going to be the big jump in technology and will probably replace everything else in the long run but same as SSD vs HDD cheap and durable is always a good option to have. There is also 10 bit color on OLED been something more of a standard (for professional use). Some IPS come with HDR technology, this comes for free on OLED since they can already do this natively (as far as I know)

[@Andrea_Bassi]

What about NanoIPS?

[@GloriousFlame]

I bought a 4K IPS monitor 6 years ago or so and it had severe back light bleeding, expensive product and I couldn't stand it. Returned it, but wouldn't want to buy IPS for a monitor ever again after that. Sadly I want something that doesn't exist yet (27" QD-OLED or something better? with at least 144 hz that isn't curved). Currently on a 24" TN @ 1440p 165hz

[@klwthe3rd]

Excellent comment. The new 4k IPS with HDR is more reliable and better than OLED without the risk of burn in.

[@Andrea_Bassi]

@@klwthe3rd What about black levels and light bleeding?

[@jpHasABadHandle]

Backlight bleed seems more common with high refresh rate IPS panels than those with 60 Hz

[@nenadignjatovic1794]
