E-IPS vs H-IPS vs S-IPS

It's a great monitor if you get a good sample, just don't buy it from newegg, their LCD return policy sucks ass. Get it from Amazon or directly from HP so you get a good return policy.

Someone did post a link to an online retailer selling them for under $400, but dealing with exchanges or returns may be more difficult than dealing with HP Small Business directly.
 
This monitor has got fairly decent reviews, just read through this thread:

It's not without problems but most people seem pleased with it. I was looking to purchase this monitor from Amazon and right when I decide to buy it what does Amazon do?--They quit selling it direct lol... Also I believe the Dell U2410 uses the same panel.

As for best image quality between S, H, and E-ISP, read here:

Nothing quite so unanimous. Sorry to be so terse, but much of the information on that page is either wrong, fractured or outdated. The talk page has more.

I'm fairly certain that e-IPS IS H-IPS, based on a closeup of the pixel structure. NEC product development manager actually referred to the LCD2490WUXi2 panel as "eH-IPS A".
 
The most significant difference between S-IPS and H-IPS is that the older S-IPS's pixels are shaped like <<< while the newer H-IPS's subpixels are shaped like III, with smaller gaps between the pixels. That improves the aperture ratio. There's a thread with closeup pictures here:

How exactly e-IPS differs has been the subject of a lot of debate, and it doesn't help that so far there has been only one e-IPS monitor. I think I remember someone saying the pixel structure of the Dell 2209WA looked the same as an H-IPS, but I can't find that quote now. Edit: See the post above.

which of the 3 has the best image quality?

i have the 2209wa from dell. i am looking into buy a new monitor with a higher resolution.
what do you guys think of this monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176104

S-IPS was designed by Hitachi and licensed to LGD back in 2001. The problem is , it's hard to identify each generation.

H-IPS is based on IPS-Pro, which was also designed by Hitachi.

e-IPS has the same pixel structure of H-IPS with several filtrations removed to increase transmittance

It terms of quality, it would e-IPS, S-IPS, AS-IPS, IPS-Pro and H-IPS.
 
I read somewhere that eIPS is just existing IPS film with less blocking/filtering, so they can use a cheaper backlight and manufacturing process, similar to TN.

So the reason the Dell 2209wa eIPS is so cheap, and 22", is because they use TN facilities to manufacture the panels but with IPS film. The newer 24" probably use the same H-IPS film but with the TN process on the rest of the panel as well, hence the wide sample varience.
 
I've tested dell 2407wfp, HP LP2475W, Dell U2311H, Dell U2410
i'm quite impressed with the overall quality of U2410 great price for quality
