VA pcture details will always darken or smear. The night sky test failed on every va I had/tried. The starts always dim when moving the camera. And 2d games like binding of isaac always showed ghosting with va.
But even setting motion aside, since 144hz and strobing DO HELP a lot... the gamma shift ruins any picture qualities there could be and this is not fixable on va.
Edges are brighter than middle which usually is too dark. And clouding galore is always worst on va.
Good ips, especially 4k panels or with glossy coating can have very good perceived contrast, no clouding AT ALL and handle motion better.,
Look. This was result of my 2 years (about 12 monitors) search back in 2019. Lg 4k ips was the winner when it comes to contrast/ips glow and clouding.
This is a very good result for an IPS: lg 27uk650 (i had 2). I will spare you all shitty 1440p, tn and va pictures.
But these days, all 1440p ips panels have IPS glow (not angle dependant) in at least 1 corner.
