Shopping for an LCD monitor can be confusing. We're going to tell you about

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.679
all the different panel types that are out there as fast as possible. Twisted

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:13.599
pneumatic or TN panels are the most common panels, probably because they are

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.720
the least expensive. If your monitor isn't labeled or you're shopping and you

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:20.880
can't see what it is, odds are excellent it's a TN. They have the least accurate

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:24.960
color reproduction and the viewing angles are narrowest, especially up and

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:29.679
down. So, if you look at them from an angle, the colors can appear washed out

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:33.120
and the details can be lost. However, TN panels are faster than other panel

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.440
types, which is to say the image can switch more quickly. So, TN panels are

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:43.760
often found in premium gaming grade monitors because they run at refresh

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.600
rates as high as 120 or even 144 hertz.

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:51.120
That's what allows them to be 3D vision certified for stereo 3D gaming. PVA and

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:54.960
MVA panels are quite similar. They're significantly better than TN both in

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.879
terms of their color reproduction and in terms of their viewing angles, but not

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:02.800
quite up there with the more premium panel types, making them a very

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:06.400
reasonable mid-range option. The one real drawback of VA compared to the more

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.479
premium ones is the fact that when viewed from different angles, the colors

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:14.720
do tend to shift quite a bit. Inplane switching or IPS panels are premium

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.439
panels suitable for enthusiasts, professionals, graphics designers, and

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.200
high-end tablets. So, one of the reasons that many tablets use these panels is

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.960
because the viewing angles are fantastic and the colors, which are accurate,

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.640
don't distort almost no matter where you're looking at them from. The one

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:35.040
drawback of an IPS panel is that it tends to be slower than especially a TN

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.720
panel. So, gamers sometimes don't like them because the input lag can be higher

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.479
and when there's a fastoving object going across the screen, there can be a

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:46.880
trail behind it called motion blur. Normally plane to line switching or pls

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.479
panels wouldn't merit their own subject in a video like this because they're

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:54.960
very similar to IPS, but they're my personal favorite. They are tend to be

00:01:52.560 --> 00:02:00.159
brighter than the IPS panels. They have slightly better color range and they are

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.000
capable of even better viewing angles, making them just freaking awesome. I

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.680
love them. However, they do have the same issue as IPS where the response

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.080
times can be a little bit slower, especially than fast panels like TN. As
