Screen panel type
A monitor about 80% of the cost are concentrated in the panel, it can be said that the panel is the heart of the LCD monitor, there are now three mainstream types on the market, respectively, IPS, VA, TN.
IPS panel
IPS panel is the so-called “hard screen”, the current mainstream popular panel type, we press up the screen by hand will not appear obvious ripples, wide viewing angle, response speed and color reproduction are good. However, IPS panel light leakage is very common, which is unavoidable, generally as long as the light leakage is not serious are fine.
VA panel
VA panel mainly from Fujitsu-led MVA panel and PVA panel developed by Samsung, a comprehensive view of Samsung belongs to the improved products, the market use rate is also relatively high. VA panel front contrast is high, the viewing angle is also good, but compared to IPS slightly worse, and easy to appear uneven color display, only to see how each brand monitor through the software optimization, the current VA Most of the panels are used in the middle and high-end displays.
TN panel
TN panel belongs to the “soft screen”, pressed by hand will have “water ripples”, poor viewing angle, due to the relatively low cost, generally used in entry-level monitors. However, its advantage is easy to improve the response speed, many games will use TN panels. In the color performance, TN panel is obviously not as good as IPS, VA, although with the technology has a great progress, but its display effect is still not satisfactory.
