I recently picked up a Samsung S24D390HL from Best Buy. My old monitor is a 23 inch Samsung XL2370 which has a 2ms TN panel. I went with the new Samsung because I thought PLS (Samsung's version of IPS) should have a lot better colors and I also wanted something with a slim bezel.
Now I do think the colors are more vibrant but no matter what tweaking I do everything looks warm to me. According to several review sites the S24D390HL is setup pretty good as it comes and with the settings they recommended is about as good as you can get in the price range. In the reviews some of their pictures that show the S24D390HL compared to another screen make it look a bit on the warm side as well.
Is this typical of all PLS/IPS screens? I've been using a TN which was on the cool/neutral side for so long I am not sure what is proper anymore. I am thinking about returning it but don't know if I would have the same issue with another brand as well. This should also apply to the D590P series because supposedly they use the same panels.
