Ask HN: The IPS LCD revolution, what monitor do you suggest for a startup?

from the ask-hn dept.

It’s been sometime since Atwood posted the IPS LCD revolution [1] and the followup to that [2].

How has the scene changed since last July? Have the prices come down? Which is the most value option out there I can buy from taobao, 360buy etc? Are there any major flaws in these LCD’s?

I have one of Monoprice's new-ish line of wqHD monitors[1] and one Crossover 27M[2] (on my own 3way mount). Both these monitors use LG's IPS panels (the same as in the Apple cinema displays). They're cheap because instead of using the 'A+' rated panels these are all from the 'A' rating (some B+). What this means is there can be slight blemishes and backlight bleed. Neither of mine suffer from either, the only issue I have is the frame assembly on my Crossover was bent ever-so-slightly during shipping from Korea

There should be some 2560x1440 ones for a few hundred dollars on the market.
