It's an IPS panel. You give up the ultra fast response of a TN panel for way better colors. But I'd hardly call 6ms "drunken monkey" speed.

That is a true contrast ratio. When you see a monitor with a 1 million to 1 ratio, it's artificially raised by the dynamic back lighting. If you turn that off (which you should if you are gaming) the true ratio will be around 1000:1 in most cases. Besides you should look for color accuracy more than contrast ratio, that is the number that actually means anything.

I personally think 1080p is just fine for me. But I have always been a more mid-range kinda gamer.

Believe me i know what is the difference between static and dynamic contrasts, i have 8 years old monitor with tn matrix, which produces 1600:1 contrast, 350cd/m2 brightness, 4ms black to white. It cost me ~320USD at the time, and is far superior than many today monitors. Even viewing angle is good, but IPS has better viewing angle. I can easily compare my IPS, i can't say that colors look better of IPS screen. My point is that after 8 years they can't make anything better? OLED looks superior to me, but those black spots killing me.
