As a photographer I use IPS panels because they offer better color rendering and superior viewing angles. As a hardcore gamer, I've had no issues gaming with them with regards to ghosting. That said, I don't play fast paced games like racing games where ghosting may be more prevalent, but mainly RPG and FPS games where ghosting is basically non existent. As far as "bad backlight bleed", not an issue, especially if the panel is well built.
Anyway I've provided just two panel summaries - IPS and TN. You can read more about them and others here at TFTCentral.com - Panel Technologies

Oh, and YES, TN panels tend to be better suited for gamers. For me though, being both a photographer and gamer, I would never go back to a TN panel.
