oled vs H/S-IPS

So how will these monitors compare to each other. I have always loved monitors and finding the best monitors on the market is always something I look into to. I guess Im not fully up onto my LCD technology, Im not fully understanding how LED incorporates into OLED or H/S-IPS monitors compared to it not being led backlit. If brand new LCDS that are IPS panels, wouldnt you think they would all be LED backlit. I Guess some are CCFL? Any who if any one has any thoughts or wants to add something please do!

 

OLED is quite a few years away until it reaches mainstream. I suggest reading Wiki and here:

Monitor Specifications

 

oh iv read it plenty of times, I just wanted to know some thougts of people had about the differences of the two technologies. I think alot of people are wondering the same thing.

 

They're very different technologies. Currently, monitors need both a LCD panel and a backlight (LED or CCFL). An OLED panel does both essentially, so it does away with the backlight and saves some power there.

OLEDs to LCDs is like SSDs to HDDs, it's a lot better in pretty much every aspect but costs a lot more at the moment. Right now the only issue is that due to cost, OLEDs have a lot lower resolution, plus the blue OLED has much shorter life. I'm sure things will change as the technology develops, but first you have to be clear on the basics.

A lot of new monitors coming out do utilize LED backlight, while a whole range of panels are being used for different purposes. For quick FPS games, TN panels still dominate due to their much lower input lag and G2G conversion, plus they're far cheaper. For graphics professionals or those that like better viewing angles, IPS panels are typically their top choice.

 

Thats the most interesting read about monitors Iv ever read. Thank your for that insight.

 

thanks this helped a lot... just one question , can u recommend some good TN pannels costing about $200-400 with HDMI? Size doesn't matter..

 

Define good... I suggest starting a thread in the Accessories subforum telling us what you plan on using your monitor for, the minimum screen size/resolution you're willing to settle for. Tell us what you've looked at and what features in a monitor you'd like (height adjustment, swivel, thin bezel/depth, etc).

 

cheers, i'll do that later.. after i deal with paypal..

 

looking at the avadirect website here when I scroll threw to the Clevo Intel-based Notebook Barebones, the first slider down customization, there is a 40 dollar difference one having HD+TFT Glossy and one having Full HD+TFT Glossy. I did a quick search on google, can any one explain what the upgrade is?

 

I had a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with SAMOLED screen, I guess that's OLED. The colors and contrast were off the charts. The image quality is very comparable to a good plasma TV.

The German Magazine C'T tried to measure the contrast rate but they couldn't. The contrast was literally off the charts, as in too high to measure with their equipment.

The contrast rate on the IPS screen on Iphone 4 was easy to measure, so a lot lower.

Here's an idea, SAMOLED in the middle, Iphone 4 on the right:

Colors were over saturated though but I expect that will be easy to fix once we get OLED monitors.

 

It's right up a little bit in the "Features" section. HD+ is 1600x900 resolution, while Full HD is 1920x1080 resolution.
