What are differences between IPS & VA Panel?

IPS VS VA 

IPS: These panels have the highest color range. You will be able to enjoy a realistic gaming experience. Besides, they have better viewing angles. So, you won’t notice any drop in picture quality even when you are not sitting in front of your monitor. 
VA: Even though the color range is not as great as the IPS panel, it does a pretty good job in showing the color variations. But the viewing angle is narrow. So, you have to sit straight opposite the monitor.

Key difference:

· IPS liquid crystals are aligned horizontally at all times. VA panels have liquid crystals vertically aligned.

· IPS has wider viewing angles with no shift in color between horizontal and vertical directions. VA panels have poor viewing angles that show picture degradation.

· IPS have a 1000:1 contrast ratio, while VA panels have 3000:1 or 6000:1 color contrast which is the best contrast available.

· IPS panels have poor black-level management. VA panels show much darker blacks.
