LG Announces IPS4 Range of Affordable Monitors

By michaels

Affordable monitors have been made with Twisted Nematic displays for years, but they have various problems such as poor viewing angles and colour reproduction. However, they do have good pixel response times compared to other LCD technology, which make them good for gaming and fast motion in general. Now, LG is introducing affordable monitors based on In-Plane Switching technology, which offers wide viewing angles and great colour reproduction. LG claim that Smooth Color Change eliminates blur in fast motion, but this remains to be seen. They also have an unusual feature called Dual Smart Solution which lets you pair up two monitors for an expanded desktop with optimizations for the Windows Taskbar and window sizes. LG also claim that efficiency is improved with these monitors. It will be interesting to see a review of these monitors to look for corner-cutting on quality, since these will be price cheaper than previous IPS monitors.

“Despite strong sales and dominating the professional market, IPS monitors were less popular with the majority of consumers due to the cost of high-quality IPS panels,” said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of IT Business Unit of LG Home Entertainment Company. “With the launch of the affordable IPS4 series, LG is taking a huge step in making IPS monitors ubiquitous in every room.”
