Different types of panels

[Nitrodist]

You know what would be great? A thread that would explain the differences between the different types of displays, namely TN, IPS, etc., I'm not quite sure what they are.

Here is a good link explaining everything:

Here is a far more in-depth evaluation and explanation of the different panel types. This article delves much more into the science...but it is an interesting article even if it a little dated. It is still relevant today nonetheless.

Here are my quick Cliff's notes on a napkin:
TN - cheap, fast, poor viewing angles, (usually) bad 6-bit colour
IPS - expensive, slow, good viewing angles, (usually) good 8-bit colours
VA - between TN and IPS

Can any one please let me know the difference between S-PVA, S-IPS panel and TN panel ??

How can some one know that he has S-PVA, S-IPS panel or TN panel ??

Thanks guys...

You won't know for Dell until someone else has tried and found out because they may use different types of panels for the same model of monitor. But so far all 22" have been TN panels.

The best way to tell for sure is to go to a store and view them. Here is a list of panels types in use and how to differentiate them.

Color accuracy, gradient, response time and contrast ratios are differ from each solution. They are making trade-offs in each of these categories.

None of them can match a CRT at color accuracy, response time and contrast ratio.
