Response time
The time it takes for a single pixel to change.
The higher the response time the lower the ghosting
No ghosting Ghosting
Response time = 1 ms(fast) Response time = 10 ms(slow)
TN
(Twisted Nematic)
The liquid crystals twist the light as it comes through.
+
● Most affordable
● Highest refresh rate
● Fastest response time
-
● Poor viewing angle For gaming
IPS
(In-Plane Switching)
The liquid crystals stay in place and are aligned in parallel with glass.
+
● Better colour resolution
● Better viewing angle
-
● Smaller response time
● More expensive
● Lower refresh rate For graphics/photo
VA
(Vertical Alignment)
Vertically aligned crystals that tilt to allow light to pass.
In the middle between TN and IPS
Viewing angle:
TN<VA<IPS
Response time:
IPS<Va<TN For daily working

Fluorescent lamps
Or
Light Emitting
Diodes
Fluorescent lamps - old
● Less accurate colors
● More power required
● Thicker
● Lower contrast resolution 600 : 1
LED - modern
● More accurate colors
● Less power required
● Thinner
● Higher contrast resolution 1000 : 1
OLD
(Organic Light Emitting Diode)
Each pixel will produce its own illumination without
having a separate back light.
+
● Highest contrast ratio 100,000:1
● Best viewing angle
● Much thinner(no RGB filter)
-
● More expensive
