120Hz Gaming LCDs + Gamma Shift

[Blacklash]

I was trying my old Acer 120Hz LCD again tonight with some games. I love how fluid it is.

What annoys me is the gamma shift. A color seems accurate in the middle of the screen, too light at the bottom and too dark at the top. The same color will seem a few shades darker or lighter depending on where it appears on the screen.

I look at it dead on, so it's not from viewing it at an odd angle.

In games it's not as obvious as on the desktop in general use or when viewing photos.

So my question is, are there any new 120Hz panels out there that tackle this issue better than others?

I'd like to get an alternate panel and I don't want to bother if none of them handle the issue better than the old Acer GD235HZbid.

AFAIK, all the 120Hz screens are TN panels, these generally have "poor" viewing angles, although also AFAIK, the new TN panels used in (for example) samsungs A750 series seem to be fine in terms of viewing angle when you sit to the desk normally, and may be better than your acer for viewing off center, although there is no cure for perfect viewing angles.

If you go out of your way to move your head then, yeah you will notice that the gamma shifts. With IPS panels, you get colour shift from black > purple (IPS glow) so, you never really get away from the problem.
