What does IPS screen mean?

What is IPS? IPS or “in-plane switching” monitors use liquid crystals aligned in parallel to produce rich colors. A distinctive feature of IPS matrices is the nature of the displacement of liquid crystals.

IPS technology

The principle of operation of such a panel is based on changing the intensity of light. Coming from the backlight module and passing between two plates of polarized glass, the light changes its intensity in the crystalline matrix depending on the degree of voltage of the electrical discharge.

What type of matrix is best?

Therefore, the choice of a particular matrix depends on what you want to achieve. If you’re looking for a fast gaming monitor, TN panels are your best bet. To work with color, you should pay attention to VA or OLED panels, and an IPS monitor is perfect as a universal solution.

Why is an IPS matrix good?

Even basic IPS panels offer 20-30% more color space than the most advanced TN panels. In addition, IPS panels offer wide 178/178 viewing angles, which means the picture will be the same from any angle. They reproduce HDR content much better than TN.

How to know IPS matrix or not?

IPS is easy to identify by the black picture, which acquires a purple tint when the eye deviates from the perpendicular axis.

If these manifestations are absent, then this is either a more modern version of IPS or OLED.
