LG angles for more customers.

LAS VEGAS--When LED backlighting and IPS panels are brought together, the results are impressive. Many LCD HDTVs take advantage of this melding of technologies to deliver crisp images to everyone watching them--no matter how wide the person's viewing angle--on a thin screen that draws relatively low power.

This week at CES 2011, LG demoed the IPS6 series, a slim LED-based monitor with an IPS panel.

LG showcased a useful demo demonstrating the advantages of IPS over TN.

As you can see in the photo above, IPS panels maintain their picture and color integrity even when viewed from extremely off angles, while TN panels do not.

The only detail that gives us pause is the relativity low brightness compared with other IPS monitors. 250 cd/M2 is by no means a low number, but IPS displays usually hit at over the 300 cd/m2 range or more.
