If you're buying an LCD TV, you'd definitely want IPS. If you're always viewing the monitor while seated directly in front of it, there's no reason not to get a TN panel and save some money.]]>Nov 18th 2008 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/Nov 18th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/Nov 18th 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/
TN panels do suck. They are terrible, try using one while designing posters or editing the very faintest differences of colours, say, 1% difference in black? This is a nightmare for designers, so much so that I specifically promised myself to never buy another TN panel and payed $380 CAD (after taxes!) for an LG L246 @ 24" with a P-MVA panel. I can finally do work on this thing, and all my colours look pretty accurate. And 380 for non-TN aint bad.]]>Nov 18th 2008 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/Nov 18th 2008 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/Nov 18th 2008 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/
If manufacturers would make more IPS monitors then the prices would drop. A few years ago when the 2005fpw put Dell monitors on the map they were not very expensive, I paid only $50-100 more for a 2005fpw than I would have paid for a TN at the time. IPS manufacturing has dropped off sharply since then and prices have gone up as companies try to increase their margins and fake-out consumers with bogus specs that dont really make anything look better.]]>Nov 19th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/Nov 18th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/

Yep because it's Apple. You pay for the beutiful design.

Because Apple use the much better IPS panels in their screens, and it's also LED backlit rather than CCFL. That adds up to an expensive screen, no matter who stuck the logo on the front.]]>Nov 18th 2008 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/Nov 18th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/
No wonder blu-ray is such a bag of hurt. Apple is missing the software and the capability to even display blu-ray movies on compliant screens. Blu-ray and HDCP isn't the problem; its Apple inability to go with industry standards; everything they do is locked down and proprietary.
