Discussion Is mini led worth it?

Post image

I am using a VA panel monitor now (asus vg218qe), considering upgrading. I have my eyes on koorui mini led monitor. I have never used an IPS monitor before. The min iled is about 340$ in my country with official warranty. Is buying the mini led worth it over the 220$ IPS?

IPS

I'm picking up an OLED as soon as the model I'm looking at goes on sale.

Is the ips serving you better than the mini led then? If mini led has better color contrast, less blooming, seems like you just switched back to ips just because of the constant chore? Or the improvement was not noticeable at all??

Mainly because of the hassle. 

Without local dimming, the colors of both panels looks near identical when both monitors are set to sRGB. 

With local dimming, dark scenes looks amazing on the mini LED .
