For LCD panels, one thing a lot of people don't know if that there are several different types, and the cheapest is quite awful. As all the prices come down I'm seeing fewer and fewer of the TN panels, but they can still be found. Terrible for conference rooms.
There's also a cheap kind of panel family where they don't put every color on every pixel. That is, rather than RGB RGB RGB, they are RG GB RG GB RG GB. For most video is hard to tell the difference, but it trashes text. Someone put a TV that was both TN and this reduced color in a conference room.... took me a few months to get it swapped out, but enough people finally saw it and realized it was the TV and not the computer or their eyes that I was able to get it done.
- bsdubernerd 6y agoAbsolutely true. I wish TN didn't exist entirely, but I guess it works in some weird price/quality zone. When going rock-bottom, LCD panels can indeed get very bad. A big problem stems from the fact that to most people "flat panels" are all the same (LCD-whatever, OLED, even plasma)..
