Newer IPS screens actually managed to close the gap almost entirely, to the point where I personally prefer them over most OLED screens. And I used to be a huge OLED fan.

You'll probably never get pure blacks on a non-OLED display, but good LCDs nowadays are so close you'll only notice the difference in a completely dark room. Which I think is more than good enough, considering potential OLED issues that never happen on LCDs.

Also, fuck LG.

The cat's response time is much faster with "IPSpspsps"

Just touch a plastic bag or a metal can. I swear, my cats have a speed force connection. And one i suspect is Thawn...he mocks me.

Where's Plasma?

[-] MrChewy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

TVs don't really need windows, so most basic window managment is typically more than sufficient. Where even then, XFCE is genuinelly amazing, KDE is heavier than it's benefits imo

Gnome out here wishing it had a cat.

True.

But OLED cat has a way faster metabolism, you will see it on your cat food bill. And older OLED cats are known to develop a greenish tint.

She is green for an amazing reason

Stop petting your cat while harvesting!

You have used some truely awful IPS screens buddy. OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.

And why are those cats not being pet? Pet them you monster.

You'll say that right up until you have one right next to the other on the same desk. That's what I have on my workstation at home, and my (admittedly, rather high end) OLED panel makes the IPS monitor look like cheap newsprint by comparison.

Might be an exaggeration, sure, but the contrast difference between OLED and IPS are very real

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 5 hours ago

My phone and PC monitor are IPS and they certainly don't look washed out compared to my OLED TV. Blacks are just slightly grayer. It's really only even noticeable side by side.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Blacks are only lighter because the backlight bleeds through, but it's very noticeable in a dark room

[-] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 34 points 9 hours ago

I would accept TN Vs IPS, but not that

[-] warm@kbin.earth 7 points 6 hours ago

TN really depends on the panel, a good TN rivals IPS without all the defects IPS brings.

OLED has its own problems too, it's bizarre how we havent solved screens yet. Maybe MiniLED will triumph?

[-] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

all the defects

Are there more than the backlight bleed?

[-] warm@kbin.earth 2 points 3 hours ago

Well there's other downsides to it, but IPS glow is it's only defect.

Severe enough that it renders the monitor unusable. Even if you win the "IPS lottery", there's still some and I can't understand willingly buying something that looks broken. TN is definitely king still, even with the worse viewing angles, but like who uses their monitor from 45 degrees.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 45 minutes ago

Fuck it! I'm going back to an electron gun with magnets in a vacuum!

[-] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean, I really don't notice it with regular use, though my monitor is an IPS Black one, so might be less bad. And I definitely notice discoloration on TN panels given how close I am to my monitor =P

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Image persistence also. I can get the IPS panel on my Thinkpad to display a ghost of an image on what's supposed to be black space for upwards of a minute if I use the particular band of colors it seems to hate.
