LG 1930P, what panel? IPS? PVA?

  • anybody know the panel?


    The Prad guide says pva.


    LG told me by e-mail S-IPS.


    I am really considering to buy the LG 1930P but I can't find any review about it ?(. Aparently its brother the 1930B is quite good.


    I wonder if the monitor has an IPS panel so suitable to play videogames sometimes.


    anybody has the monitor?


    thanks,

  • Hi,


    The P is not S-IPS, that's for sure. There is no S-IPS with 1:700 contrast ratio.


    I am attaching a scan I made from the LG 2004 Display Device Catalogue. You can see that on the right there is the B, and they clearly say it is S-IPS. On the left there is the P and they don't say it is S-IPS.


    Why not go for the B?

  • Sorry, there is no chance it is S-IPS.
    Just look at the contrast ratio... there is no S-IPS with such contrast ratio.


    Why didn't you get the B ??
    There is no difference between them, except for the panel!

  • Consider the fact that most manufatures greatly exagerate the contrast rating...


  • Hmm, from those pictures it looks like the 1930B has a slightly different stand and a more narrow bezel. Does anyone know if it looks like that in person as well as I prefer the looks of the 1930B or is it just that they put a picture of a smaller screen so it looks different in comparison?
