TN panel
twisted nematic panel

TN panels have a lower response time (they react faster).

Overall, color reproduction and linearity on TN panels is poor.

IPS panels are more expensive to produce than TN panels.

IPS panels have longer response time than TN panels.

Its name comes from the main difference from TN panels, that the crystal molecules move parallel to the panel plane instead of perpendicular to it.

The pixel response time on modern TN panels is sufficiently fast to avoid the shadow-trail and ghosting artifacts of earlier production.

When MVA panels are viewed off-perpendicular, colors will shift, but much less than for TN panels.

However, due to the light polarization technology an LCD monitor, particularly TN panels, the angle of image viewability will degrade when rotated.

Linus of LinusTechTips referred to the Z2 as "Basically the Z1 but with the big glaring issue (The TN panel) gone".

Although the screen used was a TN panel and of a lower resolution than the UX32VD or UX31A, it was considered an acceptable compromise for the price.

In-Plane Switching was developed by Hitachi Ltd. in 1996 to improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor color reproduction of TN panels at that time.

In person, the TouchPad delivers a pleasant picture, but we were unsure whether the screen uses an IPS panel like the iPad or a TN panel like most tablets.

A bright dot defect is a group of three sub-pixels (one pixel) all of whose transistors are "off" for TN panels or stuck "on" for MVA/PVA panels.

Most TN panels represent colors using only 6 bits per RGB color, or 18 bit in total, and are unable to display the 16.7 million color shades (24-bit truecolor) that are available from graphics cards.

A dark dot defect is usually caused by a transistor in the transparent electrode layer that is stuck "on" for TN panels or "off" for MVA/PVA and IPS panels.

IPS panels display consistent, accurate colour from all viewing angles A state-of-the-art (2014) comparison of IPS vs. TN panels concerning colour consistency under different viewing angles can be seen on the website of Japan Display Inc.
