Calibrated TN vs IPS
- Thread starter icor1031
- Start date
Depends entirely on the monitors 
. A good IPS will be factory calibrated these days (Dell, Viewsonic spring to mind) and both those (the U2713HM and 2770VP) are pretty well calibrated out of the box.
A good IPS will nearly always beat a TN in terms of colour accuracy, not necessarily in black depth (some are better than others). Fast response you want a TN, viewing angles and overall picture quality you want an IPS.
IMO of course.

Remember a calibrator only measures in the middle of the monitor. And on TN there are differences down the screen and up the screen. So if you have red in the middle the same red shade it's trying to display above and below this is different. See here on a TN screen for a demonstration - http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/viewing_angle.php. IPS doesn't have this issue so you simply can't calibrate TN to match IPS. Personally I prefer VA but I'm a sucker for strong contrast. There is less of this shifting in colour on VA compared to TN but it's not as good as IPS for this.
IPS panels has a much wider colour gammit than TN panels so really you cant compare.
However in regards to calibration wise such as with a Spyder Pro, Spyder would be more accurate compared to factory so called calibrated settings. How much? slight difference. the more accurate colorimeter the bigger the difference imo. Xrite i1 Pro is a better choice but cost around twice the price of Spyder.

Can you tell me more about the Xrite being better?
Also, I read a review stating that the Spyder can calibrate more than one monitor on a specific PC, but Xrite can only do one. Is that true?

IPS panels having a wider color gamut isn't true.
This monitor is from 2008.
106% NTSC color TN panel with 2 ms response time.

Some darker games suffer from the black levels on IPS most games look better though on IPS cause I have a TN right next to my IPS and run duplication in windows.
Someone said Purple isn't displayed correctly on a IPS too I think that is true also.

main issue with TN is their lack of color consistency across screen because bad viewing angles so it don't matter how good you calibrate such screen because most of image are will be screwed up. VA panels have similar issue and similarly are bad where color consistency matter
also most TN have smaller and less accurate gamut but it have to do more with cheaper backlight than with panel itself. Panel have nothing to do with gamut as colors are generated by backlight + filters not panel itself so it would pose no technical issue to make TN panel with eg. 135% NTSC 1976 other maybe that it would have no logical sense to do so. Anyway, most TNs can't reproduce sRGB gamut and trying to use CMS can produce clipping artifacts that do not look very nicely
to really play with CMS (calibration and color managed software) you should get IPS/PLS type panel with wide gamut monitor or at least one which have larger gamut than sRGB. There is no going past it. Thankfully nowadays monitors that match those criteria are not very expensive
