New monitors are coming out this year that support 3440x1400 @ 200Hz with HDR/G-Sync. Which is better in terms of color? I know HDR offers better blacks and Whites. But when it comes to color accuracy and viewing angles which do you think is going to be the better for gaming and movies?

    My predator x27 uses an ips panel. HDR looks amazing on it. HDR isn't a panel type.

    HDR Monitors are the new evolution of gaming monitors.  Feel free to discuss so i can serve you all the way to pluto

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    To further explain what Sajin said, HDR is not a panel technology in the same way TN and IPS are. Not all HDR monitors use IPS panels, some may use TN. HDR or High Dynamic Range, is a moniker given to photos, videos, that have a highly expanded contrast ratio, and color depth over "standard". An HDR monitor won't just magically make everything look great; the viewed content also must support HDR. They adhere to a standard (one of many HDR standards that are currently floating around) that allows you to take advantage of HDR movies and games to allow for much higher visual fidelity. Since it is a new technology, you gotta do your homework and look heavily into reviews as not all "HDR capable" monitors are created equal.

    HDR is a much misused buzzword right now. When you hear HDR they actually mean 10-bit color, not high dynamic range.
