Anyone know if this monitor is TN or IPS?

If it doesn't advertise that it's IPS, it probably isn't IPS.

Sorry I'm a noob when it comes to monitors.

Yes I know its VGA input only don't stab me. I paid like $75 for it 1.5 years ago so it was a good deal and I personally have no problem with VGA.

Slender glossy black bezels frame the 23 inch TN+ panel

Seriously, a touch of googling won't kill you.

Looks like LED LCD according to Newegg.

"170°/160° horizontal/vertical viewing angles" pretty much tells you that it's not a IPS or PLS panel.

Any panel type that is better than TN is always mentioned, as it's, well better.

When they don't mention it, it's always TN panel. They'll never say "This product honestly sucks" in the specs sheet, unless the marketing team can twist things by adding "gaming" monitor or "gaming-grade-TN panel", which really means nothing, but hey, it works.

The exception is 120Hz monitors, as TN panel, is the only LCD type panel that can be made to reach such speeds.... currently....

VA LCD's can do 240Hz now.  Several expensive big screen 240Hz HDTV's have been out for more than 2 years (albiet that's interpolated; the electronics are actually refreshing each pixel 240 times a second).   Also, several of the "960 simulated Hz" TV's only do 240Hz LCD refresh, they use the scanning backlight to simulate the rest.  Nothing prevents updating 120Hz or 240Hz natively instead of interpolated.  Recently Eizo has started making a 240Hz monitor for the professional market (non-interpolated, albiet only 120Hz native), the FDF2405W.   Computer monitor LCD's often come from previous-generation LCD's, while TV LCD's often use newer generation LCD's (it's a bigger market), so VA 240Hz is already ahead in the HDTV market.

 

VA is getting there long before IPS is.  VA pixel transitions are actually cleaner on the HDTV panels, than on yesterday's VA monitor panels.  Surprisingly so.  VA is the panel technology used in 3D HDTV's with active shutter glasses now (where panels must refresh virtually completely before the next refresh, in order to work with shutter glasses).

 

Yes, it's a bandaid.  But so what.  I'm just pointing out that TN is no longer the only LCD type that can do it.  While VA transitions are more ugly than TN transitions, don't forget the technological lag: The pixel response curve of some of the newer VA HDTV panels during 120Hz is cleaner/faster than the pixel response curve of some of the older TN 120Hz monitors.  (Remember: HDTV factories use newer LCD tech than computer monitor factories)
