Hey guys,
I've been researching for a new monitor and came across something very interesting. Apparently, the new Samsung budget panel is called 'Bistable Twisted Nematic III'. From what I've gathered, it seem to have wider viewing angle, faster response time, and higher contrast ratio then standard TN panels, which would explain why the new Samsung and HP models scored high in benchmarks.
Looks like TN panels are finally worth considering lol
"A high-density integrated circuit having a very fast response time has been used as a switching device for the LCD panel. A new mode for the LCD panel is required to keep up with the high-density integrated circuit. For the above-mentioned reason, a bistable twisted nematic (BTN) liquid crystal is introduced. The bistable twisted nematic liquid crystal is a nematic liquid crystal with a chiral dopant. A conventional BTN liquid crystal display panel is superior to the conventional simple matrix addressing liquid crystal panel such as an STN liquid crystal panel. For example, the BTN has characteristics of a wide viewing angle, a fast response time, and a high contrast ratio."
