TN, IPS and VA are all different types of panel technology, but unfortunately there's no one panel type to rule them all. Instead, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, which you can explore in more detail in our full guide to the different types. The condensed version, though, is that in terms of colour accuracy, IPS panels are the best. If it's a super fast response time you're after for twitchy esports games, then you're probably better off with a TN monitor. As for great contrast and deep, deep blacks, VA monitors are ideal. If we had to put them in order of preference, though, we'd recommend IPS first, followed by VA, then TN. Recent advances in IPS technology have not only made their response times much faster, but some displays even rival TN screens in this department now, all the while retaining their high levels of colour accuracy. VA panels, meanwhile, are often found in curved gaming monitors, as evidenced by the curved monitors we've listed above, but these, too, have come on leaps and bounds in terms of colour accuracy and response time over the years. TN panels, on the other hand, make for perfectly adequate gaming screens, but it's still rare to find one with good colour quality.
