[–] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 41 points 4 days ago (9 children) I would accept TN Vs IPS, but not that permalink fedilink source hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] warm@kbin.earth 8 points 4 days ago (8 children) TN really depends on the panel, a good TN rivals IPS without all the defects IPS brings. OLED has its own problems too, it's bizarre how we havent solved screens yet. Maybe MiniLED will triumph? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago* (7 children) all the defects Are there more than the backlight bleed? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children) Image persistence also. I can get the IPS panel on my Thinkpad to display a ghost of an image on what's supposed to be black space for upwards of a minute if I use the particular band of colors it seems to hate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 days ago I can't get my current IPS to ghost at all yet. But my old TN had an always visible imprint of the taskbar. I think in many cases it's not so much the technology, but the quality of the monitor. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago Yikes, that does sound bad. permalink fedilink source parent [–] warm@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago (3 children) Well there's other downsides to it, but IPS glow is it's only defect. Severe enough that it renders the monitor unusable. Even if you win the "IPS lottery", there's still some and I can't understand willingly buying something that looks broken. TN is definitely king still, even with the worse viewing angles, but like who uses their monitor from 45 degrees. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago Fuck it! I'm going back to an electron gun with magnets in a vacuum! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 point 3 days ago (1 child) I mean, I really don't notice it with regular use, though my monitor is an IPS Black one, so might be less bad. And I definitely notice discoloration on TN panels given how close I am to my monitor =P permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] warm@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago I've never heard being close as an issue, I can't see any problems from distance myself. They just have really bad viewing angles, so yeah if you are slightly off angle to it, the edges start to fade. My IPS experience was horrible though, tried a few and the blacklight bleed/IPS glow is just horrendous. I use dark mode on everything, so there's no avoiding seeing it. OLED gave me eye strain and burn-in isn't something want to deal with (the monitors just become ewaste after a couple years). So... here we are with the good ol' TN panel. permalink fedilink source parent
