Introduction to the concept of IPS and LED monitors
IPS and LED monitors differ fundamentally. IPS refers to a screen manufacturing technology. The LED monitor refers to the light-emitting technology used.
IPS monitor screen
The screen does not produce image distortion and does not affect the color of the image, which can largely protect the image effect from damage. It is a type of liquid crystal display technology that uses an IPS screen, commonly known as a hard screen. The viewing angle is much larger than traditional TN screens, and the color is better.
LED monitor screen
It is a lighting mode that uses a light-emitting diode backlight. It merely means that the LCD screen uses an LED backlight. Now, LCD monitors use LED backlights, whether it is a TN screen or an IPS screen.
What is the difference between IPS monitor and LED monitor?
Techniques
The full name of IPS is (In-Plane Switching). The advantage of IPS technology is that it changes the arrangement of molecular liquid crystal particles and adopts the technology of horizontal transformation. Like LCD screen technology, LED also requires the support of a backlight in the display, and the light must pass through two layers of glass and substrate, various optical films, an alignment film, and a color filter to create polarization.
Viewing angle
Due to the rotation of liquid crystal molecules in the plane, the IPS screen has very good viewing angle performance. The four axes up, down, left, and right can reach a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees, which is better than LED screens.
Color fidelity
IPS monitors have richer colors and higher saturation than LED monitors.
Dynamic image quality performance
The IPS monitor ensures the clarity of the image when shaken and also has excellent expressiveness, eliminating the blur and wave diffusion phenomenon that occurs when the conventional LCD is subjected to external pressure and shaking.
Energy saving and environmental protection
Because the IPS screen makes the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules more reasonable, reduces the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, changes the light transmittance of the liquid crystal screen, increases the display effect, and makes the display panel thinner and more energy-efficient.
Advantages and disadvantages of IPS monitors
Advantage
1. The IPS panel was originally developed as a professional color display, and its color reproduction and image quality are undoubtedly the best.
2. Low response time. When we use IPS to watch high-speed movies, the low response time of IPS can make the images we see smoother, more realistic, and clearer. Just like our 2K 144Hz Gaming Monitor offers an excellent visual and gaming experience.
3. Energy saving and environmental protection. Even at the end of nuclear power, IPS screen technology achieved a major breakthrough. The power consumption of IPS screens has been further reduced, making them more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. And because the liquid crystal molecules are arranged more reasonably, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer is reduced, which changes the light transmittance of the liquid crystal screen, improves the display effect, and makes the display panel thinner and more energy-efficient.
Disadvantage
1. Light leakage reduces light penetration. To better display bright colors, it is necessary to increase the brightness of the backlight. Therefore, IPS monitors often suffer from light leakage. With the increase in screen size, the problem of large-area edge light leakage has always been a criticism of IPS.
2. The static contrast ratio is low. Since the IPS monitor cannot improve penetration and the method of improving the backlight also causes it to lose the competitive advantage of a high contrast ratio. In general, the static contrast ratio of IPS is between 2000:1 and 3000:1. The static contrast ratio of the AV screen can easily reach 5000:1.
