Why are there no IPS panels for HDTV's?, all of them seem to be PVA. Wouldn't IPS panels have a better picture for HDTV than PVA?
 
The 32LZ800's make the high pitch whistle sound of doom and the black level is kinda bad, I have one in a room of the house. Otherwise it is good input lag wise and speed wise.
 
PVA panels have better blacks and contrast ratios, which is critical for TV.

But IPS has better viewing angles.

So, it kind of depends on your furniture layout and personal preferences. My choice, in this case, would be a PDP though...
 
Panasonic, LG and Phillips are exclusively IPS in their 32"+ units. Toshiba and Sony used to have some IPS units, but they are PVA users now. Sharp uses ASV exclusively, a superior VA adaptation.

Don't IPS panels overall give the better picture quality than PVA?

Does the Sharp VA panel have a better picture quality compared to LG and Phillips IPS?

If they can match the black levels and contrast of the PVA models, while maintaining their superior viewing angles. AFAIK, there is no LCD tech that does it all though. Each has its issues...

I think there are some IPS models coming out with selectively lit LED backlighting. That will be interesting...

Superior? To S-PVA? This was not my experience.

Agree. I was looking at sets. IMO the Sharp Aquos sets had the worse viewing angles of any type. Which destroyed contrast even slightly off angle.

The Panasonics (IPS) black is not that far behind and they have clearly superior viewing angles and low input lag. Though there seems to be some issue with the sharpness of colored text and I wanted to use it as a computer monitor, so I gave up and got a good computer monitor instead (NEC 2490) and maybe will get a Plasma specifically for TV.
