LCD TN vd IPS

This morning I received the Gadget Digest which contained an article about LG's new IPS monitors. Remembering that I had recently read about the very same thing in Jeff Atwood's blog entry I had to look up what the difference is between TN and IPS.

According to Wikipedia TN stands for twisted nematic and are relatively easy to produce but suffer from limited viewing angles and bad colour repoduction due to the limited bit depth.

IFS stands for in-plane switching and has better viewing angles and better colour reproduction. Earlier models had slow response problems but those have since been fixed and the technology has been surpassed by S-IPS, AS-IPS and now IPS-Pro.
