27" ips or 1080 120mhz

[Old Dude]

Is response time or refresh rate an issue in dcs or is picture quality king ?

ips = more détails and best pictures! , but less fps than 1080 120hz ^^ .

Monitor has nothing to do with your FPS.

 

IPS panels have better image quality and view angles (which is a plus) but bit worse refresh times (hence more image ghosting with fast paced games with lot of looking aroud and view movement sideways) than TN panels.

 

For gaming TN panels are really good enough, I would know, I have them both and to ne honest IPS panels for DCS are not really worth (unless you don't care about their higher cost)

 

The only thing you want in monitor is as low refresh rate, no backlight bleed and size that suits you. Viewing angles and power usage are my second important thing (when you use more than 1 monitor and they are on long time daily, power usage matters to me as well)
