Shopping for an LCD monitor can be confusing. We're going to tell you about
all the different panel types that are out there as fast as possible. Twisted
pneumatic or TN panels are the most common panels, probably because they are
the least expensive. If your monitor isn't labeled or you're shopping and you
can't see what it is, odds are excellent it's a TN. They have the least accurate
color reproduction and the viewing angles are narrowest, especially up and
down. So, if you look at them from an angle, the colors can appear washed out
and the details can be lost. However, TN panels are faster than other panel
types, which is to say the image can switch more quickly. So, TN panels are
often found in premium gaming grade monitors because they run at refresh
rates as high as 120 or even 144 hertz.
That's what allows them to be 3D vision certified for stereo 3D gaming. PVA and
MVA panels are quite similar. They're significantly better than TN both in
terms of their color reproduction and in terms of their viewing angles, but not
quite up there with the more premium panel types, making them a very
reasonable mid-range option. The one real drawback of VA compared to the more
premium ones is the fact that when viewed from different angles, the colors
do tend to shift quite a bit. Inplane switching or IPS panels are premium
panels suitable for enthusiasts, professionals, graphics designers, and
high-end tablets. So, one of the reasons that many tablets use these panels is
because the viewing angles are fantastic and the colors, which are accurate,
don't distort almost no matter where you're looking at them from. The one
drawback of an IPS panel is that it tends to be slower than especially a TN
panel. So, gamers sometimes don't like them because the input lag can be higher
and when there's a fastoving object going across the screen, there can be a
trail behind it called motion blur. Normally plane to line switching or pls
panels wouldn't merit their own subject in a video like this because they're
very similar to IPS, but they're my personal favorite. They are tend to be
brighter than the IPS panels. They have slightly better color range and they are
capable of even better viewing angles, making them just freaking awesome. I
love them. However, they do have the same issue as IPS where the response
times can be a little bit slower, especially than fast panels like TN. As
