Just read a page don't know its age but it says that IPS isn't the best anymore!
Does anybody know the diffrence. Has there ever been a computer monitor made
on a mass scale with this tech i'd like to see some reviews myself i thought there was only 3 (tn/va/ips)
http://www.vertexlcd.com/technology.htm
The Four LCD Technologies

TN + Film is used for entry level and mid-range solutions
Known for: simple process, high transmittance, fast response rate
Improvements needed: viewing angle, color shift, contrast ratio
Frequently used for notebook
Not Desirable for LCD TVs

VA is used for mid- to top-range solutions
Known for: high transmittance, fast response rate
Improvements needed: costs for compensation film, process complexity, color shift quality
Not applicable for tablet PCs

IPS is used for high-end solutions
Known for: high color stability, simple process
Improvements needed: transmittance (low), contrast ratio (low)

FFS is used for high-end solutions
Known for: high transmittance, wide viewing angle, authentic color

Input's and thoughts needed!
 
FFS does seem to exist, but I'm not aware of any monitors that use it yet - it seems it's at the R&D stage rather than any sort of production. It claims great things, but I guess we'll have to wait for when (if?) monitors appear to see if that's true.
 
Reading this, it appears as thought it's actually an improvement on IPS rather than a completely novel panel type.
 
Well, every new technology is wellcomed. Unless it is prohibitively expensive :(
 
The hihgest resolution offered is 1680*1050 on a 22" which only claims to be 6bit....you can figure out the rest.
 
where did you get this info at! please post site how do you know its only capable of 6-bit

these are just being released and need to take on plus there is one that is
LVDS 8-bit
 
AFFS is a Boe Hydis technology that I think Hitachi? licensed, and it's used to make 180 degree angle of view displays ... mainly 12" for tablet pc's.

It's on there site.

look at this site for a diffrent view.

I was pointing out 8 Bit because it is the best that they have in so far and the
biggest that they have built if you look back on the original at the bottom of the second tab after clicking more choices is a
ledbacklit with full viewing angles and authentic color at 32 inches.
this lcd tech is very young 2005 tech. it takes at least 5-7 years before stuff is implemented. we may very well see 10-bit panels with a 10 bit input with this tech.
it's new. I stated HOW DO YOU KNOW ITS ONLY (CAPABLE) OF 6-BIT.Not that it's 6-bit. of course i had seen that.
 
Read much? I said it only claims to be 6bit on the best resolution they offer. So you want a great pixel tech on your 720p 32" monitor/TV? That's great, but I think I would like at least 1080p thanks. The tech has been around long enough for it to materialize into the market, and it's non-existant. It's for all intents and purposes a dead technology.
 
I'm just saying that they have 8 bit tech. also wouldn't you think that the image resolution and pixel pitch has nothing to do with the fact its 6bit are 8 bit? it's all about market. maybe they are producing to cater to the needs of certain industrys. maybe 6 bit afffs is cheaper to produce than 8-bit. point is that it's a diffrenct technology than the rest of the other panel types. so to speak. Ips isn't just limited to 8-bit there has been 6 bit ips panels. Notebooks for instance. You shouldn't throw look over something because it's 6 bit dithering. so therefore to call it dead would be ludicris. maybe it's 5 years from being affordable. the diffrence being that it has the one thing ips panels don't do well in not to mention va/tn. Which is they can be on outside in the sun and not washout to any extent near the other panel types. it may be to expensive to materise into todays market not beacuase its crap but because its new. Besides 720p/1080p has nothing to do with the panel type other than its default screen resolution. what does that have to do with improving a panel. once you design a good panel you can make it what ever resolution you need(besides yeild) which will get better with time. 720p/1080p is only good because thats the default for now! They will offer more as the market grows!

I had AFFS on my X61t. I didnt notice anything too amazing about it since the screen is rather dim. However the viewing angle was excellent. AFAIK that is the only AFFS screen.

The resolution is dependent on pixel pitch, and that is dependent on how small you can make an individual pixel. The tech is not dead becuase it's too expensive or 8 bit/6 bit, it's because you have to be able to produce the product and market it. Apparently they are not producing a consumer grade product, so it's essentially dead.

It's not anything ground breaking and expensive to produce such as OLED, so if it's not proliferating the market by now, it's not going to.
 
Do I understand it well that this technology is either too expensive or not advanced enough to be used in 17+ LCDs?
