Windows 10: Choosing a Between 2 Gaming Monitors

I am looking to buy a gaming monitor this month, and i saw 2 Monitors one Alienware and one from MSI. They Have both discounts on them and everything about them like specs and design are really good. The Alienware is 180hz 32inch ips 2k display BUT with 1000 contrast ratio, on the other hand the MSI one is 165hz 32inch VA 2k display 4000 Contrast ratio. So the question is, should i get the monitor with ips but low contrast ratio or the VA but high contrast? I mostly do 80% Gaming, and Sometimes Video editing and Watching Movies. PLEASE ANWSER! THANKS!

Hi Ron,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
  

• How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?

I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:
