Yet in this review Tim doesn't see that. This is the point you're missing. You made a blanket statement about VA which is true for most of them but not all of them. Tim's review is very clear that you can make a great VA panel that exceeds IPS panels in most respects, especially the key ones of native Contrast and Black levels.
They are worse for overshoot, NOT for dark smearing which is what you're complaining about. The overall error is still low and if you read the review, Tim mentioned that the overshoot wasn't visible thanks to the high framerate. Still a big win at 240 Hz and other refresh rates too.
I'm not saying the monitor itself is good, I'd never buy it as curved is useless to me. My monitors do work first and then gaming. I'm saying that years ago Samsung fixed the main problem inherent to VA, dark level smearing. All while maintaining it's advantages over IPS: higher contrast and lower black levels, so no IPS glow. And at fast refresh rates so it's still speed competitive with IPS.
OLED beats them all until you want to read text. Or work in a bright room. Or avoid burn-in.
