Question about an old 19" LCD

[gatomakato]

I'm currently using a Princeton LCD19D monitor. They no longer produce this monitor and I'm having a hard time figuring out what type of monitor this is (TN, IPS, or VA). I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me and give me any other additional information on this monitor as I have lost my manual and information on the internet is sparse for it.

Simple test. Use an image with lots of low contrast detail. (astronomic images work great for this). Display it full screen, look at the screeen strait on. Move your head up and down and side to side to change the viewing angle of at least 60 degrees. If you see contrast 'rotating', in the vertical movement with dark areas eventually becoming brighter than light areas yuou have a TN.

If you see more low contrast detail with your head about 10-20 degrees to the side (black crush), but otherwise good viewing angles you have a *VA.

If you can move your eye almost to the bezel and the image in unaffected across the entire movement you have an IPS.
