Why is a VA matrix bad?

Question

Monitors

Hello!

The following question arose:
Why is everyone on the Internet slandering the VA matrix?
I'm already tired of hearing that VA matrices, unlike IPS, have worse viewing angles, this has not been the case for those for a long time, and those have 178 °, that is, the norm!
I agree with the opinion that IPS matrices are needed for designers and the like, but I am not a designer, and I don’t understand why everyone slanders the VA matrix, and IPS is so exalted.
VA has the same response time, better contrast, namely black depth and viewing angles on par.
So can you explain why everyone says that VA matrices are g @ obviously?

PS I myself am interested in the Xiaomi Mi Surface Display monitor. Brief characteristics:
Resolution - 3440x1440
Matrix - VA
Refresh rate - 144 Hz
Diagonal - 34"
Response time - 4ms
Viewing angles - 178°
Contrast ratio - 3000:1

Answer 1

VA - when the gaze moves away from the center by 45 degrees (in any direction in the horizontal plane), it begins to darken the colors in half of the gaze shift point.
This is due to the vertical arrangement of the matrix crystals.
In IPS - everything is the same, but in a vertical plane. They notice less often, because they don’t look at the monitor on the floor and on the cabinet)
Therefore, the contrast for ips is lower, and for VA, color distortions (darkening) are more often visible.

Answer 2

Changed 2560 * 1080 IPS to 3440 * 1440 VA
The drop in picture quality felt not bad.
But after a couple of weeks I got used to it, but in games it is not noticeable at all.
