It is difficult to imagine modern life without a TV and computer. Today, almost every home has these miraculous devices that generate streams of useful and useless information day and night. In order not to make a mistake in choosing monitors, you should know something about their matrices.
Today, manufacturers implement different types of matrix monitors. The quality of the image depends on which one is preferred. There are many parameters on which the reproduced picture depends, however, the type of monitor matrix remains the main one. We consider each separately.
TN + film is an elementary matrix and therefore cheap. The technology for its creation does not require special approaches, so this type is available to almost everyone. Just recently, well-known manufacturers of monitors used only it.
Other technologies were used only in professional equipment, and TN + film was implemented for domestic needs. Today, the approach to the production of monitors is somewhat different, and simple technologies go into the background. For the consumer, the main thing is quality, therefore, in the production of modern equipment, other types of monitor arrays were used.
The main advantages of TN + film are its low price and good response speed. The disadvantages include a small viewing angle, a rather low contrast and poor color reproduction.
The next type is IPS. This is one of the best matrices developed by world famous brands. The creators ruled out the obvious shortcomings of the budget counterpart in the face of TN + film and realized a high degree of image display. However, the price of such a technology is very different from the price of TN + film. Today, IPS is no longer a novelty, so the cost of this matrix is gradually reduced.
The main advantage of IPS is its excellent color reproduction, good contrast and a large viewing angle. Accordingly, the disadvantages are the high cost of the product and the long response time.
The types of LCD monitors do not stop improving, and their list is periodically expanding. The next technology that I would like to talk about is * VA. This matrix is a kind of compromise between TN + film and IPS and is positioned as the best alternative to competitive solutions. It is presented as MVA, equipped with an excellent viewing angle, excellent color reproduction and high response speed. Manufacturers implemented it as a budget option, so this technology costs quite a bit. MVA color rendition is better than in TN + film, but worse than in IPS, so when choosing, you should weigh the pros and cons. You can sacrifice image quality, or you can take the product more expensive, but with an almost perfect matrix.
The types of matrix monitors replenished with another technological solution from the well-known global company Samsung. It acts as an alternative to more expensive solutions, which are represented by IPS. The advantages of the matrix manufacturing technology by the Korean manufacturer are brightness, excellent color reproduction, a large viewing angle, and rather economical energy consumption. But, along with the advantages, there are also disadvantages, including a large response time, rather low contrast and a pronounced unevenness of the matrix backlight.
Thus, choosing the types of matrix monitors, it is necessary to focus on the size of the allocated funds. Manufacturers are trying to fight competitors by offering a product with a good price-quality ratio, but the best solutions simply physically cannot be cheap, so the choice is up to the consumer.
