Question What is TN IPS Panel?

[mmp09]

Hi,
I asked Asus Support what type of Display you have on Laptop model ASUS Vivobook Go 14 , E1404FA.
They replied it's TN IPS??
What is TN IPS?

I know it as either TN or IPS or VA or OLED?
TN IPS is a new concept to me. I am asking here just to be sure.
Thanks

my guess considering the details page for the laptop

Vivobook Go 14 (E1404F) - Tech Specs｜Laptops For Home｜ASUS Global

"14.0-inch, FHD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 aspect ratio, LED Backlit, 60Hz refresh rate, 250nits, 45% NTSC color gamut, Anti-glare display, Non-touch screen, (Screen-to-body ratio)83%

14.0-inch, FHD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 aspect ratio, IPS-level Panel, LED Backlit, 60Hz refresh rate, 250nits, 45% NTSC color gamut, Anti-glare display, Non-touch screen, (Screen-to-body ratio)83%"

is that the first option is a TN and the second is an IPS screen. they just apparently suck at answering in a clear way.

Thanks. The link resolves to my country specific Asus and there the only spec says


35.56cm (14), FHD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 aspect ratio, LED Backlit, 60Hz refresh rate, Anti-glare display, - (Screen-to-body ratio)83%

So I suppose it's TN

that would be my guess as well. they'd be sure to let you know if it was the IPS screen if that is what it had.

tn panels are generally cheaper so they are one of the first cost cuts they make

Yes it's TN panel, after further query to them, they have finally clarified.

When talking about TN or IPS, we are referring to panel types. Liquid crystal inside those panels twist differently. In turn, you get different optical performance. TN panel can refresh faster, good for gaming. Yet IPS has better color and viewing angle.
Sometimes, you will hear the terms a-Si, LTPS or IGZO. They are related to silicon technology. Apple uses LTPS LCD in some of their products.
Here is a blog post about TFT LCD technology.

Hope this help.
