If you are looking for such monitors, look for gaming monitors with TN-panel, with 2ms or 4ms response time. Compared to office monitors or even TVs there is a big difference. (mind that TN-panel have pro and cons)

Much worse viewing angles is a pain.

I agree.

Which is why its hilarious whenever I ask around for recommendations, especially on Reddit, everyone tries to peg it as a non issue. As if your head never moves and you only have one monitor.

The problem is:

TN Panel:

Pro: Cheap, low latency

Con: Everything else

What happens if you have multiple monitors? i.e. a TN-panel for gaming and an IPS for graphic design?

This is pretty much my setup. Higher quality TN panels don't have that much of a dropoff from median quality IPS panels.
