Do you use a TN or IPS panel?

Do you? Are they worth it?

 

Coming from someone who's asking this that's never used an IPS panel, should I seriously consider an IPS panel when buying a new monitor? My main concern is having 144Hz, at least 1440p, and a not terrible response time. <5ms if at all possible.

 

Wanted to get some opinions from you all.

 

Edit: Interesting. It appears that those of you that really prefer IPS prefer it for the viewing angles, with the better colors being less of a factor for liking them more.

I wish I had IPS being a graphics designer and video editor 

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Mine has much better viewing angles than my old TN. Which is great for me because I slouch really bad. The colors on mine aren't that much better IMO. But it's worth it for the viewing angles.

I use a PLS and I love it, but you won't get 144Hz with IPS/PLS

I use both, but I prefer IPS for better backlighting (somewhat).

The first IPS panel I had cost $120 and was fine.

 

Then I went full out and got a 2560 IPS monitor.

 

I honestly hated TN; I didn't notice the color as I had never used an IPS monitor; but the shit viewing angles just killed me.

What if you use both? ):

 

I have a 4K TN panel and several 1080p IPS panels. While there is definitely a difference in colour depth, it's not so noticeable in games and videos where things are moving a lot. It's more noticeable with static images. 

 

It will also depend on the particular panels. The Acer XB280HK that I have does a pretty good job at replicating colours. At stock, it wasn't great, but after some tweaking, it's pretty good.

I have both and I disagree (for the most part) with the TN hate that is thrown around here. Not all TN panels are created equal and one found in a higher end monitor can hang with IPS. Yes IPS is still better and I want to make that clear, but you'd be surprised and hard pressed to distinguish the two in certain situations.

There's a few 144Hz IPS panels coming out this year, I believe. The number in question for those will be the response time.

They're not true IPS, they're AHVA.

Same technology mate. Just go to TFT Central and you'll see this to be true. ;)

It's similar technology but it's not identical.

With displays like the new Acer XB270HU coming out? Interesting. Mind if I ask if you have a link or anything to somewhere talking about that? I'd just like to read up on it if at all possible.

 

Edit: Nvm, you pretty much cleared that up, lol. Thanks. :P

I use a TN(ACER X203W) panel side by side with an IPS(LG 23EA63) the ips gives much better colour. The main thing i notice is with the tn the colour looks washed out, I love my monitor and if i were to get one it would be ips for sure. The thing with gaming is i never noticed any lag when i switched over to the ips being my main monitor not saying that it isn't slower i just may not noticed and for what i play and do the monitor is perfect i am no MLG player and never will be but i do appreciate good colour depth.

Well, I found this on their latest review:

AHVA (Advanced Hyper Viewing Angle) is a relatively new technology developed by AU Optronics, not to be confused with their more long-standing technology AMVA (Advanced Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment). It is AU Optronics' answer to LG.Display's very popular, and long-established IPS (In Plane Switching) technology. Testing of this technology has revealed that it is for all intents and purposes the same as IPS. Performance characteristics, features and specs are all pretty much identical. AUO weren't allowed to simply call their technology IPS due to trademark issues, which is why they adopted their own new name. Samsung are the same with their PLS (Plane to Line Switching) panel tech, which is another IPS-clone. You will see pretty much all monitor manufacturers now simply use the term IPS, since it is so well known in the market, but underneath they may be using an IPS version from LG.Display, AU Optronics or Samsung potentially.

Well, I found this on their latest review:

It's a similar technology that is based off AH-IPS but is slightly tweaked by AU. It's quite new and only a few common monitors use them, such as the BenQ BL2710PT and the QNIX QX2710 Evolution II, both of which are designed for 60Hz use. 

 

Guess we'll have to wait and see how well that Acer does.

TFT Central does have a review already up of it right here —> http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/acer_xb270hu.htm <—.

I meant to the masses. Not that many people have their hands on it yet.

Right, gotcha! ;)

a great TN panel is THAT much better than a crappy TN panel

a crappy IPS isn't too much better than a great TN panel. my laptop(asus Q501LA) has an IPS panel that is slightly better than my samsung S27A550H which is TN

a great IPS though. . . damn. my PB278Q is PLS(which is a derivative of IPS) and it still impresses me. colors are beautiful.
