A VA monitor uses a Vertical Alignment panel. This is known for a very good contrast, which creates a bigger difference between light and dark colors. In a starry sky, you can see the stars very well and the sky very dark. In addition, a VA screen has a good color rendering and a wide viewing angle, although IPS is better. A VA panel is very suitable for watching movies, editing photos, and graphic design. This is less suitable for fast games, unless you choose a VA panel with a high refresh rate and response time.
