I need to get a "temporary" monitor. I have been using old Dell 30" U3011 IPS monitor. It had been dying for a while. I managed to get it going by hitting its backside until I get a replacement monitor. Unfortunately a new mini-led monitor that I want to buy seems to be still months away. And U3011 just completely died today. It resulted me to use over a decade old 27" monitor. So I need to get myself some cheap and usable monitor in a mean time.
I'm looking BenQ EW3270U VA monitor. Good price, 4K, freesync, and fake HDR. My only concern is VA panel. I have never used VA before. I understand VA provides good black and contrast, but weak in color and viewing angle. However, how does modern VA panel compare with old IPS panel? Can modern VA match the color and viewing angle of old IPS panel like the one in U3011? BTW, U3011 is not even LED, it's CCFL backlit.
