because the average consumer doesn't know or care. if someone at best buy asks what 'TN panel' means on the box, the employee's just gonna say 'it means it's the best!'

yeah, my concern is the reason they were returned was because of dead pixels.

Got mine 2 days ago, every pixel works. It is bright as HELL. Wish the stand could tilt down though.

If they did, then people could disparage them when they're side by side and TN would die a very quick death. Or so the thoughts go.

In reality, they'd be so badly calibrated that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Viewing angle and inconsistant colors acroess the screen should get them to notice. I still don't think TN would disappear even if that were the case though. If all inferior products disappeared, intel would not make gfx chipsets today. Most ppl don't care that their monitors can't reproduce 17.6 million colors or their video cards can't game

honestly , i have TN monitors, and I have one monitor that is s-pva . most tvs are IPS.

and the viewing angle thing isnt that big a deal anymore.

it woudl be on say a 30" monitor since it snot all in your field of view unless you are 5 feet away from it (which is why tvs are ips).

that said, I think color uniformity a lot of the problem is crappy ccfl backlights.

I think a TN with LED or oled backlighting would probably be very good.

Who cares? Not everyone is an image editor or uses it as a TV from across the room.

that 2 examples you've given are not why we don't like TN. all you need to see the difference is to simply tlit your head.
 
Am I the only one who thought the thread title could have used a bit of detail? And by "a bit of" I mean "any".
 
description was originally there. the summary was changed a few times so it got lost. don't matter no more, OOS

I :heart: my TN-panel Samsung.

Dunno what to tell you.
 
When you can get the excellent Dell 2209WA refurb or on sale for at or under $200 it doesn't seem like much of a deal.

TN panels have their place. I have owned several of them, but IPS ftw. I will take a nice 22" IPS over a 24" any day.
The colors and viewing angles are so much nicer. Also most of the IPS panels I have owned are higher quality and have very little backlight bleeding.

It isn't about being a snob, it is just appreciating a better technology.
 
How come people only notice the negs of TN, no1 games here? TNs are much better. The IPS (I believe) equivalent of this dell monitor is well known for ghosting.
