No it isn't IPS.
VA looks great on angle.
If off angle it could be a issue for some but isn't for me.
No va doesn't look good at an angle.
Even straight on, middle is darker than edges. VA cone gamma exists for a reason.
Off angle, the gamam suffers too. not to mention extreme blur which cannot be helped on va.
I will take ips over best va any day... that said - oled is light years ahead of both.
Btw. IPS glow is on every ips monitor. It's not a defect. It's just how the tech works. Even with very low brightness. We can add ips bleed to that which is a production defect and that's... on every ips screen essentailly.
I never found that to be a problem. Maybe vincent ses his stupid hgig even for movies....
OLED tv should be viewed with minimal light possible. If your shadow area in a movie is 20 nits and your room is 500 nits, that's obviously going to fight and obfuscate some of the shadowed areas.
Remember, the oled light floor is 0. Pixels can have any brightness. Not only on/off or few basic levels like mini leds.
Besides - LG created Dynamic Tone Mapping exactly for that reason. For movies especially. DTM would lift that area right up and it would look awesome.
I've switched from hgig to dtm after 2 years and I couldn't be happier. i also disabled tpc and gsr (dimming over time when no radical brightness change was detected). I have only c1 though. This is fixed on c3/g3.
I am not saying there isn't some black crush but it's way overblown out of proportions and dont exist when using dtm or many of other lift black or other settings available to you in the tv.
And that's still camera capture. When viewing in the middle of the night, your eyes have very good dynamic range.
When I got the tv, I was playing some horror games and even lowered in-game brightness to have it pitch black. lol it's like vr in the middle of the night
