Good news for all the VA fans out there wanting a higher resolution option.
Looks like its something AU Optronics calls AHVA , some kind of advancement from their AMVA tech. Production of the panel starts 4Q 2012. So guessing we will see a Benq screen out first with this new panel included sometime next year.

AHVA is very much similar to IPS/PLS in many aspects, Viewing angles, native panel Gamma R/G/B Curves less than 2.2(+/- 0.1),
 
Is the 1000:1 contrast ratio a typo? I would expect at least 2000:1 from a VA.
 
looks like it might be an "IPS-mode" panel, so maybe a new type similar to IPS and PLS. from updated news piece at TFT Central

Update 4/12/12: With thanks to one of our readers we have been linked to the following article with AU Optronics President Paul SL Peng. In the interview he talks about an "IPS-mode LCD technology called "AHVA (Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle)" for some of their mobile panels. So this looks to be the official name for the AHVA technology. Interestingly they talk about IPS-mode though so this could be an equivalent technology much like Samsung's PLS was designed to be. More info when we get it.

Don't see any advantage unless it is capable of delivering deeper blacks, which doesn't seem to be the case.
 
PLS is practically identical to IPS, so I wonder if this has any differences for or against it.

Perhaps no IPS glow. That would be a nice advantage.

Either way I am glad to see the way things turned around. When I was first looking for LCDs it looked like IPS was on the way out, now they seem to be the main game in town for computers/mobiles.
 
They probably have intentions of simplifying and making it cheaper. One step toward making the resolution more mainstream. Still only about 1% that have 1440p or 1600p on Steam.
 
Turning a bad response time into a good one mostly means adding inputlag.

But most of those mumbling on about response time are too ignorant to acknowledge that.

Response time these days is overrated, just like megapixels on phone camera's.

I've seen benchmarks showing 16 ms panels outperform the panels rated at 4 ms.

One might also ask what time is given: black-white-black or simply grey to grey?
 
Quoted response time is useless but response time does matter. As long as the majority of pixels complete their transition within the 16.7ms window, it's all good (8ms for 120Hz and 4ms for 240Hz displays).

PS: Overdrive (RTC) induced lag can be reduced to negligible amount these days. It used add 16ms on the spot. Now it process the data without buffering.

In 2011 AOC sold a 27" with an A-MVA panel with a quoted 1,000:1 contrast ratio, it did around 1100:1 and had fast response times.

It was really cheap, but it had really bad gamma shift

AOC replaced it with a TN panel, see Digital Versus .

I don't understand why they are pushing 1440p with 4k around the corner, unless the plan is for 2560x1440 to be the new 1080. They should have skipped 1080p and gone to 1440p to begin with.
 
You don't have to do everything on the same resolution.

For everything else besides gaming, a higher resolution is better :)

When my video card isn't fast enough to play a certain game at 2560x1600 I just add black bars.

I feel the same.

I am glad that AUO and A-MVA are trying to remain competitive though.

Let's hope that this is just the first step, and that we see more and improved releases in 2013.
