Having had my fair share of monitors, it's safe to say this isn't an IPS or TN panel. No IPS panel, even the cheapest one I've seen, had a black washout like this monitor. Only VA panels can produce such a powerful black wash. This is really bad and incredibly distracting when trying to play in a dark gaming environment. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this panel as its obvious purpose is gaming (generally 144Hz) but it looks terrible. BTW, even though I turned on free sync in the menu, I couldn't get it to be recognized by the computer. For the price it's just not worth it.
