Known LCD monitors using IPS panels.

[Hookem]

Bought a Dell G2410 LCD and it sucked hard.

Sold it to buy a 2209WA Dell e-IPS LCD and as luck would have it they are out of stock or discontinued.

So the search has been on for a IPS 22-24" LCD.

Rumor control has it that LC is using e-IPS panels but I cannot really find where it is actually stated which models use e-IPS...Here is a link about all that business.

I was hoping you guys could give me actual models that are readily available that have e-IPS screens.

What was wrong with the G2410? I was looking at buying this...

Seems like great performance and contrast ratio: http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/dell-g2410/4505-3174_7-33581193-2.html?tag=txt;continue

its TN... crappy color accuracy, narrow viewing angles.

Yeah, I'm aware of that but I'm going to be looking at it straight on from 3 feet so I don't care about viewing angles. The LED backlight is supposed to help with color gamut but I can't seem to find much information about this particular model EDIT: It's 80% NTSC slightly better than other TN panels which are 72%, in contrast the 2209WA has a 83%..

Anyway here is some more information on IPS panels: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/17.htm#lg_ips_screens

color gamut percentages mean nothing. The 83% of my 2209wa is far more accurate than the 110% of some high gamut TN panels.

as far as viewing angles... i had a sp2309w from dell... the damn tn panel was so narow that sitting directly perpendicular from the monitor the slight change in angle from the center to the edges was enough to change the colors due to bad viewing angles. Same thing happened on a samsung 2253BW a T220, and others.

Always buy TN panels because once you see better you can't go back =D

Well I am the proud owner of 2 black 21" Dell Trinitron CRT's...Bought and sold a bunch of LCD's because they were not even in the same galaxy.

Bought a Samsung 223BW and was albe to retire the Trinitron CRT's.

Sold the Sammy hoping the Dell would put a whoopin on it's head as far as image quality...Not even close.

With the green power saving stuff on it is has the most lifeless image you could even begin to imagine...After a few days I kinda got used to it after turning all that business off.

Still even when I looked at old non widescreen LCD's, they had a must better picture.

Took one of the Trinitron's outta the closet and hooked it up...Night and day difference.

Right now I am looking at an old 20" Dell LCD...Bad...I mean really bad back light bleed...Probably 3 years old atleast and it blows the G2410 away.

Might have gotten a lemon...I promptly sold it and am looking for e-ips panels...A friend has a Dell 2007WMP or something like that is IPS and it rocks.

But I really would like more real estate than a 20".

Rumor control mill has it that LG is releasing 23" models that have ei-IPS panels...In Asia and Europe.

Considering how the 22" Dell e-IPS LCD's sold like hot cakes, I am hoping that manufacturers who sell in the US market will take a hint and stop only really offering TN panels in the 22" to 24" range.

I only paid 242.00 dollars for the G2410...But I just could not live with the image quality.

I watched the cNet review on the G2410, sounded great...Was advised to get the 2209 by my brethren here at Overclockers...It was still available when I ordered the G2410.

A big mistake...:bang head

Ok you've convinced me not to buy.

But I'm looking at 24 inch monitors and something that is not TN is very expensive and hard to find. I'm on a relatively low budget of $300 and don't really care about color accuracy and viewing angles (I was fine with the color/angles in samsung 2232gw). I'm not a photo editor or web developer, I would just like a bigger screen space for movies, games, word processing, and web browsing.

I just would like to know for reference what is better: IPS or PVA? We have a lot of 2407WFPs at work that look great to me and are PVA panels, are IPS better?

The general consensus is IPS > VA >>>> TN. I'm getting very sick of my Acer TN panel, an IPS panel might be my next purchase. HP makes a 24" for around $500, looks pretty nice.

I've had my NEC 20wmgx2 for a few years now (can still be had if you go hunting on ebay with around ~$180-200), and it's probably been the best purchase I've ever made. Never knew what I was missing until I went to IPS panel. I place a great deal of value on the monitor now, as it's basically the conduit for your entire PC experience. Anyway, I'll be looking to move up in size soon though. I've had my eye on the LG W3000H-Bn. Doesn't seem like a lot of people have experience with this particular monitor yet though. :/
