IPS Black Impresses with Contrast

IPS TFT

What They Say

TFTCentral compared four different IPS monitors based IPS panels from BOE (CoolerMaster GM32-FD), AUO (Nixeus NX-EDG27240X), LGD (Eve Spectrum 4K) and the Dell Ultrasharp U32230E which uses the LGD 31.5″ UltraHD IPS black panel (there is also a 27″). The contrast ratio was much better in the Dell than in the other monitors.

What We Think

I still haven’t been able to dig out what LG Display is actually doing to get this better contrast although I suspect it is based on a switch in LC materials, based perhaps on new Merck materials. However, if it is just Merck material, which have others not got in on the act? If any readers have any information, I’d be happy to get it. (BR)
