I've been out of the loop as far as monitor tech goes for a few years, but from what I recall compared to TN & IPS, the MVA technology had the best contrast but the worst response times? I remember playing around with one a few years back and although the response time was poor, the 3000:1 native contrast looked gorgeous in darker movies like the Matrix, and games like Thief, Deus Ex, etc, vs typical 900-1000:1 of TN/IPS. I recently noticed "AMVA" based monitors like the BenQ GW2760HS and iiyama ProLite XB2783HSU-B1, which seem to be getting quite high review scores on almost every site they're being sold ("blacks are pitch black", "hardly any light bleed"), and are being marketed with "4ms response time", "true 8 bit" (no FRC), "Color Shift-free Technology", "Flicker free", etc. From what I understand, these AMVA panels have improved response time & "color shifting" over the earlier VA's?
How do these modern AMVA panels square up against TN/IPS these days for general gaming at 24-27" 1080p/60Hz? I know IPS is generally recommended for better color accuracy, etc, but that 3000:1 contrast sure looked good from what I can recall. Anyone using an AMVA panel here, and if so, what's the "4ms" response feel like subjectively? Are response times now close enough to IPS/TN in actual practice for 60Hz gaming that the 3x higher contrast ratio outweighs any negatives (like maybe slightly worse off centre color shifting vs IPS)?
