Its a VA panel, so is this yet another 2016 VA panel with good specs but in practice still to slow conpared to similar spec'd ips/tn panels ?

I have yet to find any VA panel that can compete with ips and TN when it comes to respons time.

1ms = TN = the crappiest tech ever for image quality
the pixel responsiveness between 1ms and 8ms is one of those things you can't tell the difference except from the number on a spec sheet.
VA has much better contrast and blacks.

1080p @ 27" ggwp
It gets better, the curve forces you to sit in monitor range where you will see the pixels in all their glory.
