IPS on a mointor

What does IPS do on a monitor. I heard it means in-plane switching but what does that mean.

IPS is a panel type that offers supreme color accuracy and quality. It's often used by those who do a lot of video/picture editing. The downsides are the somewhat high price and the (usually) higher latency compared to other panel types like TN.

It improves color quality on a monitor.

However, it usually costs more.
It also increases response time, but not by a noticeable amount unless you buy an off-brand that doesn't have any decent quality control.

It's a display panel technology. In-Plane Switching competes with Twisted nematic (TN). IPS offers much better colour reproduction and quality, but TN is cheaper and responds to input changes quicker.

Most professional displays use IPS technology. They're great for gaming too.

I am also looking at IPS panels. Since I do more photo editing than gaming it would seem that an IPS panel would be better for color rendering. Yet what is the response difference between an IPS panel and TNs in the case of "input changes"? Would it adversely affect previews and rendering speed in Photoshop? I am also specifically looking at the LG 25UM64-S. It is an upcoming shell shocker deal on Newegg so I have an incentive to purchase it. I've also noticed in my research that many of these monitors lack either an HDMI or a DVI port. The LG has both and also carries a "Display Port" in its specifications. Is this the best possible IPS panel I can get for the money and for its specs?

If you do photo editing, an IPS panel is pretty much required. And the slower response time of an IPS panel only matters at all in gaming. You won't notice a difference at all outside of lightning fast action.
