The max PPI that I see for available VA monitors is 140. And I have noticed that there are no devices other than monitors which use VA. Why is that? If VA could be had at higher PPI, I would like to have a laptop and a phone with VA. The softness on the eyes of VA is something that I haven't seen with IPS, TN, or OLED. And it just seems odd that there are no other devices that use VA, unless there is some unspoken about limitation of getting higher PPI for VA. Or maybe there is some other limitation that I don't know about which prevents using it for other devices.

Does VA have a PPI limitation?

I think the reason we don't see more VA panels in use is because of the limited viewing angles. VA has a very limited viewing cone, and because of that they look best from straight on at a distance. For close viewing such as a phone screen, I think the limited viewing cone would make it an unsuitable panel for that use.

It's not any worse than TN, and TN are used in a lot of laptops.
Vertically it's fine but VA actually has worse horizontal performance than TN. ( IN SOME CASES )

I had phone with VA panel and it was disaster. Panel had terrible viewing angles and especially at winter response times were dramatically slow.
