We tried - IPS display revolution by LG
End of last year we wrote in a display review, expectedly the Full LED displays will be the newness. It seems we were wrong but we do not regret it because we got better than Full LED from LG!
In my display reviews, in our reviews, we wrote a lot that monitors of nowadays based on TN panel technology. There are several reasons for that. One of them is the cheap production and the other is its great response time. TFT panels one purpose was better response time because these displays could become an alternative for gamers and movie lovers against CRT monitors.
TN panels have a lot of bad attribute. First is the viewing angles. Manufacturers write 170 ° horizontal viewing angles to the specification but anyone who saw TFT –everybody– knows if we watch it from the edge than we do not see a lot.
The next serious problem is color reproduction. As we wrote the TN panel cannot show due number of color physically. Manufacturers of crop software tricks and picture editing procedures for better color transition. Some of them work fine some less. So we suggest to try a display beforce buy.
Trouble number three is the total miss of black. After W-LED's spreading it is improved because LED can be switched off and is easily so black become balck because of the switching off at dark picture areas. Of course there are prejudice of LED switching if you are interesting please read last display reviews of the previous year!
After a lot of negative let's see LG's new display (and its panel)!
