How does a 144 Hz TN panel look?

For reference, I’m currently using a 1440p 144 Hz IPS panel, specifically the Asus MG279Q. While I do like the resolution and refresh rate, I wouldn’t say it’s the most responsive thing in the world (like, it feels like it has a REALLY tiny delay underneath all of it that I can somewhat notice), and the colors… well, while do shine pretty for the most part, it seems like the screen is being a bit weird when producing solid colors. Like, it seems like it has mixed lighting throughout the whole screen, and that it has a bit of a cheap appearance to it (though fortunately no backlight bleed).I found out from a forgotten source, that all 1440p 144 Hz IPS panels are actually AHVA panels, and that they have horrible quality control on them, and are essentially a series of compromises. However, the reason I got one in the first place, was because I really wanted to see how a 144 Hz IPS panel looks. It’s definitely quick, but I can’t help but feel that me viewing it, it seems a bit too blurry for the most part (although that could just be my eyes).I’ve never actually seen a 144 Hz TN panel in motion before, but I’ve seen plenty of 60 Hz ones. I’m assuming the ones I’ve seen are low-end, because a lot of them just don’t seem bright enough, some have horrible viewing angles, there’s washed-out colors, that kind of thing… though, not all of them have washed-out colors, and sometimes when I’m curious as if a panel I’m looking at is either TN or IPS, sometimes I just don’t know unless I look at it from an angle.I guess what I’m trying to say is, what would be my experience if I went from my Asus MG279Q, to a Dell S2716DG?
