Is this monitor "IPS" or other "wide viewing angle" technology? What is the horizontal/vertical angle at which colors shift?

Yes, this is an AH-IPS screen. As you view more than 90 degrees off axis in either plane, there is a perceptible drop in image brightness. The colors however remain true. The image is viewable to almost 180 degrees off axis, but would not then be suitable for the critical applications intended for this monitor. If you view this monitor anywhere near on-axis, you will see an exceptionally fine and accurate image.

This is an IPS monitor with viewing angle of 178 degrees. It also supports color calibration using x-rite Display Pro.

Yes, it is an AH-IPS monitor and I'm very happy with the viewing angle, much better than the twisted nematic monitor I have sitting next to it. It's a bit hard to say what exact viewing angle you can expect, because I don't know what you find acceptable. The technical specs say 178 degrees horizontal and also 178 degrees vertical. The horizontal angle is similar to the twisted nematic monitor but the vertical angle is much, much better in my case. I think it's fair to say that you can look at this monitor from every reasonable angle and see a good image.

Hi Rita, Sorry. I don't have the technical expertise to answer this. I do, however, really like this monitor.

Can't say for sure, but I think the answer is "neither" based upon the following article at C-net Asia: http://asia.cnet.com/lcd-types-tn-vs-va-vs-ips-62213690.htm. Samsung seems to use S-PVA or Super Pattern Vertical Alighnment. "In terms of viewing angles, VA panels are right in between TN and IPS panels. You'll have to sit further away from the center of the screen to observe any color shift. An improved Super Pattern Vertical Alignment (S-PVA) version is extensively used by Sony and Samsung, which delivers even wider viewing angles and deeper blacks. Both companies are claiming that their S-PVA-based TVs have 178-degree vertical and horizontal viewing angles just like their IPS rivals, although there is still a clear disparity from our own experience." From personal experience, I have no trouble viewing my TV's screen from multiple angles without fading. Blacks are true and deep. Found no specifics about TN, IPS, VA or S-PVA in the Samsung user manual.

Hello Michael,I think one need to play with the different viewing angles and see what works best. Sometimes I switch angles because of wanting to change my sitting position, other times, it depends on what application I'm actually using wit hthe product. As was mentioned already, a monitor mountign arm works wonders in finding that perfect viewing angle.- C.

what is the meaning of better display? there is only TN and superior IPS - and this isn't IPS

HiThank you for your interest.The difference is pixel policy.Please check the pixel policy of each description.This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor.Thank you.

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

Both RGB (analog) and DVI-D. See full specs and description at Viewsonic's website http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktop-monitors/lcd/value-series/va926.htm

The specs say: Viewing Angle (Diagonal) - 46 degrees. Which is a weird way to describe it. I'd say about 90 degrees horizontal. They're not a wide angle as they profess.

I don't really do photographic work. It is far superior to the old TN screen it replaced. Without putting an IPS display next to it I couldn't make a decent comparison. Now that Dell is running sales on their 24" 4K IPS display I'd take a closer look at that. If you do get this 28" display keep fluorescent lights away from it. Fluorescent flicker plus 30Hz refresh = ugh.

Yes, it is an IPS (In Plane Switching) monitor. It will orient in portrait mode.

As you may have noticed, in most older panels/laptops (which probably don't have IPS), there is massive color distortion at relatively small viewing angles. This monitor is exactly the same as the U2713HM, except that it also has IPS (in-plane switching), which produces, among other effects, much better color fidelity at off-center viewing angles. In other words, I can look at my monitor from .5 degrees away from parallel to the screen, and still have no noticeable color distortion.

The monitor is great, James. The colors are bright, vivid and the edges are clear and crisp. The 1900x1200 resolution is also more beneficial than a typical 1920x1080 (or 1080p) because you get better vertical resolution. I have this as my primary display in place of a Samsung 24" 1920x1200 LCD and I would have to say that the image on this display is actually better. I suppose that is the luxury you get with an IPS panel!

It's a twisted nematic 1600x900. This is one of the poorer TN displays I've come across. Horizontal viewing angle is terrible.

Dell has a very nice 30" IPS monitor. Very high-end. MSRP $1499. There are frequent twenty-or-so percent off coupon codes, though. It's 2560x1600 (16:10)

Hands down buy the GW2760HS. The GL2760H is a TN panel which makes the gamma shift from top to bottom. I like the GW2760HS more than even IPS monitors because the contrast ratio is 3x higher than most other displays. You will get better blacks than most other monitors. The motion clarity isn't bad with this monitor either. If your gaming I advise you use the the premium AMA option. There will be some overshoot with certain color transitions but the benefit of the motion clarity out ways this in my opinion.

yes, colors do look different to those on my previous laptop, and also on my extension desktop monitor. now i don't even know which version is "correct."
