It's an A04 model, made in Czech-Republic and is V1B22 RT803. Bought from Overclockers. On a dark picture, if I look to the side a bit I can see a pinkish/purple colour somewhat, but no loss of contrast. If it's a really dark picture I see quite a lot of colour cast, pink/purple at the sides and yellowish in the middle. This is the main thing I'm worried about, is this normal?

Just checking what screen mine has, there's so many threads about it it's somewhat overwhelming to search for.

Cheers all
 
Sounds like you got lucky to me.

Look at a picture that has dark details, and view it from about a 45 degree angle to one side horizontally. If it has more detail than when viewed head on, you have a VA panel (not good), if the brightness and detail remain the same....hooray for you, you got an IPS (purple or amber "haze" over black from angles).

Also check the serial number, if it ends in a L you probably have an IPS, if it ends in S, probably PVA.
 
The RT803 was a S-IPS in the past. The colors you mention when viewed on an angle are consistent with the S-IPS. Its normal to see those colors at more acute side angles. Only the S-IPS panels that cost 3x as much have less of that. If you want to check more just put a photo up with a lot of contrast and dark areas. If the dark areas get a lot brighter from the side then its S-PVA. Here is a thread where I posted a photo showing the difference:

I am sure you have a S-IPS already though and that's good.
 
Cool, seems like I got a good panel then. That's a relief! Cheers guys
 
Yep, the purple (imo more red) is con, but if you look at the total picture, it's a great monitor. I have two 2007FPs , both S-IPS. :D
 
Yeah, I agree with you. Absolutely slays the TN panel I had before!
 
I have the RT803(S-IPS) 2007WFP and it has the pink/purple tint also that you are talking about. Nothing wrong just how its made. You'll never notice it if you don't look for it and it only shows from hard angles.
