How to Choose TN, VA, and IPS Monitor Panels?

Written by Cecily on September 19, 2024

Common panel types include TN, VA, and IPS, all of which belong to LCD monitor technology.

IPS Panel

Due to its unique structure, there are no water ripples or shadows when touching the screen with your fingers, so the picture is stable and will not be deformed. With the characteristics of wide viewing angle and wide color gamut, the color performance is more accurate and richer.

VA Panel

VA panels can provide excellent contrast and are generally used on curved screens. Excellent contrast can make black pictures darker, and you can be more immersive when watching videos and high-definition movies. However, the response speed of VA panels will be slower than that of IPS screens.

TN Panel

TN panels can provide fast response times. But in terms of color performance and viewing angle, it lags behind IPS and VA. So it is suitable for a few FPS e-sports professional players who prioritize response speed rather than color accuracy and viewing angle.

Consider the monitor panel that suits you:

Professionals such as designers and photographers who need accurate color reproduction can choose IPS panel monitors. It can accurately restore the colors in the image, and the color and brightness will hardly change no matter from which angle you view the screen.

If you are using it for watching movies or videos, you can choose a VA panel to more realistically restore the movie scene. It is suitable for watching movies or playing games in a dark environment.

Of course, this is only a consideration from the perspective of the panel itself. When actually purchasing a monitor, you also need to consider different parameters such as refresh rate, resolution, screen size, etc. Choose the monitor that suits you best based on your needs and budget!
