Basically if you are doing night flying in dark room you will want VA because of increased contrast and better black level. VA also works better for fast gaming because it responds quicker than IPS.

IPS has better colours but suffers from IPS glow. viewing angle is better but that's not really a consideration on monitors. And a good VA will do good colours anyway, providing you're not doing professional graphics editing.

I know the difference between VA and IPS panels. There is a reason why IPS are more expensive than VA panels. I rather have my reds as an example look like red vs a variation of red!  

@strider1in that case my delta e is 1.91, mostly accrued on red, don't think that;'s too bad for a budget monitor and certainly good enough for any gaming. I know a professional IPS monitor will come well under 1.0 but you pay a lot for those.

If guys ever get the opportunity to test a VA panel next to wide color gamut IPS panel, you never go back to a VA panel! Thats why people love OLEDs its the best of both worlds! 

OLEDs are awesome but not a good idea for monitors because of burn in. And not sure MicroLED will ever get down to typical monitor sizes.

Ok so my 38 inch wide screen I have mounted next to my 43 inch TV is indeed an IPS monitor.  If I drag the sim window across both monitors the IPS does look slightly better.  But in no way is it a dealbreaker when it comes to gaming or flight simming.  Especially since the wide screen was almost three times the cost.

What color gamut are using? When was the last time it was calibrated? You do release there are different grades of panels? The grade A panels are going to have the highest color gamut, more contrast, calibration tools, higher nits, etc.... With my asus panel I have the option of SRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, ASCR, etc....

I have a 34" 2K asus curved g-sync monitor. I am extremely happy with it and I wouldn't change it BUT I don't use the whole width for P3D and I don't use the 'wide' option within P3D either. I do have a few ancillary programs running (map, etc) in the free space and that arrangement is how I like to have it set up.

no advice, just an experience...

If you can move up the the 38" size ultrawide, I highly recommend it. I just bought the Dell 38" and its amazing for Prepar3d.

The 34" is a touch small IMO.

well I decided to go with the Samsung Q6F 49" tv in the end. I really wanted that extra height so cockpit will be bigger. I'll let you know how I like everything, should get new computer and tv next week! thanks for all your advice.

You will enjoy that also.. I have a 55" sony 4k HDR tv that I fly on some times, and game with. I also installed a 5.1.2 dolby atmos sound system. So as you can image playing Battlefront II is quite the experience. Back on topic... in the end I decided the 55 was a little big sitting on my desk in front of me so I use that for my theater room and use the 38" dell for gaming/simming.
