Display Tech Compared: TN vs. VA vs. IPS

Sorry to hear that, Jerry.

I think you had a bit of bad luck. I have never had an issue with my monitor after nearly 1.5 years of use. As for Thunderbolt and USB-C, I never needed them and didn't bother to look into it. Clearly that was a need for you... I just wish you had researched that before your purchase!

I have had the experience of your first week's impressions since day-one: I love mine and haven't had any issues. I hope you will look into this tech a generation or two later. You can't deny the awesome picture quality! I feel bad that I steered you in this direction, but perhaps you jumped the gun selling it without giving the replacement a chance...

I wish I knew why you had an issue and I didn't, but I still love this monitor and it has been flawless! I am replaying Shadow of the Tomb Raider and it looks stunning as opposed to my last play on Dell's IPS AW2318DW monitor.
Thanks for the encouragement. Oh, you did not steer me wrong whatsoever. I will eventually obtain an OLED for sure. Perhaps you are right by jumping the gun too soon making the decision to immediately sell the replacement monitor and not giving it a fair chance. As mentioned I am not anti-OLED at all and will eventually get one again, hopefully sooner than later. I wish the current 40" LG was OLED.
Yes, the Thunderbolt connectivity is an issue for me in terms of convenience. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" (Davinci) But, in consideration of the reality of the marketplace no one device checks all the boxes, So, eventually I will compromise and go for one that at least has USB-C and provides PD support.
