Hi there, this is my first post on here, after reading an article from here and several other places I am confused.
Give me the verdict. I've read numerous opinions on both, and am confused as ***.
My thoughts of each.
IPS: I can view the monitor from below the desk...big deal I'm always gona be playing sitting up, and it is not going to be a home viewing screen so wide viewing angles r not needed. Are power hogs, provide better image clarity, used for photo and video editing / CAD drawings. Are more expensive technology, leave back light light bleeds in black areas.
TN: Greater response times (don't know if this is a marketing fad idea-read that anything under 12 ms is not noticeable), use less power, are more thin than their IPS counter parts, proven traditional LCD technology for gaming.
There just my thoughts atm of both types of panels. Could some of guys clear up things. I've read so many views and am so confused as to which monitor to purchase. I've read that new TNs are just as good as low end IPS and possibly even better for games. I also know that there is a 3rd panel type known as VPS but I don't see it used much in monitors so I'm not worrying about it.
Currently looking at buying one of these,
DELL Ultrasharp U2412M (IPS panel) - but has no HDMI and the next model up is 200 dollars more just for HDMI : o

OR
Samsung 23" SA950 (TN panel)

I also saw some cheap 23" LG IPS panels but heard complaints of them so not considering them. Are there any other good monitors I should be considering for my price range and screen size, i.e 23"-24", price ~AUD $400 willing to pay a little extra.
Thanks.
