Is TFT LCD better than IPS?

Firstly, we need to point out that PS is not a screen material, but a technical name. Its essence is actually superTFT, which means that IPS screens are also one of the TFT screens!
If you want to say which one is better, then of course the IPS technology screen is better. The screen of IPS has changed the arrangement of TFT's liquid crystal molecules (generally, ordinary TFT concentrated crystal molecules are arranged horizontally, while IPS's liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically), allowing it to have a larger viewing angle. Pressing on the surface of the screen will no longer cause obvious water ripples (which is what we call a hard screen), resulting in better color reproduction and more realistic images, These aspects are incomparable to conventional TFT.
While having so many advantages, it will also increase its cost. Compared to ordinary TFT panels, IPS LCD screens are definitely more expensive. What does IPS screen mean
IPS (ln PlaneSwitching) technology is a liquid crystal panel technology introduced by Hitachi in 2001, commonly known as "SuperTFT". The advantage of IPS screens lies in their fast response speed, high visual angle, and accurate color reproduction, positioning them as high-end products in LCD panels. Moreover, compared to PVA panels, LCD televisions using IPS screens can achieve dynamic clarity of up to 780 lines. In terms of static clarity, according to the high-definition standard requirements of 720 lines, it can still achieve high-definition. This panel technology enhances the dynamic display effect of LCD TVs, and I can achieve better picture quality when watching sports events, action movies, and other fast-moving programs. Compared to other types of panels, IP panels are less prone to deformation with water patterns when lightly scratched by hand, hence IPS screens are also known as hard screens. When carefully looking at the screen, if you see a fish scale like pixel facing left and add a hard screen, then you can confirm that this is an IPS screen
What are the advantages of an IPS screen
The production companies of flat panel televisions have showcased some selling points such as "free high-definition color", "smart light", "dynamic high-definition", and "full mode high-definition digital TV all-in-one machine", igniting a new round of market share grabbing with the advantages of differentiation. Samsung's PVA model, which features a wide perspective technology, is widely adopted by Japanese and American manufacturers due to its strong production capacity and stable quality control system. Nowadays, PVA technology has been widely used in mid to high-end LCD displays or LCD TVs. VA type panels also belong to the category of soft screens, and gently scratching them with your hand can create a similar watery effect.

The touch effect of the screen
Another major technological branch is the IPS panel, which is known as a hard screen. This panel was previously jointly invested and produced by Philips and LG (LPL). However, due to Philips' unilateral transformation, it shifted its research and development direction towards fields such as healthcare and lighting, resulting in divestment of the IPS production line. Now it is basically supported by the LG family and officially renamed as LGDisplay (LGD).
The influence of voltage
The biggest feature of an IPS screen is that its two poles are on the same surface, unlike other liquid crystal modes where the electrodes are arranged in a three-dimensional manner on both sides. This technology optimizes the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules by adopting a horizontal arrangement. When encountering external pressure, the structure of the molecules will slightly sag downwards, but the overall molecule remains horizontal. When it encounters external forces, the rigidity and stability of the liquid crystal molecular structure of the hard screen will be far better than that of the soft screen! So it will not cause distortion or affect the color of the image, which can maximize the protection of its visual effect from being damaged. In addition, there is another S-IPS panel that is an improved version of IPS.
Comparison Chart
The LCD panel of IPS hard screen technology not only has certain advantages in durability and easy cleaning, but also leads VA soft screens in functional parameters and performance indicators. Response time has always been a weakness of LCD TVs, but with the continuous progress of LCD technology, the problem of image lag in LCD TVs has also been well solved on the IPS panel. The advantage of its short response time allows the IPS screen to display clearer images in dynamic images. In addition, compared to VA soft screens, IPS screens have a series of performance advantages such as accurate color reproduction and outstanding black expressiveness.
IPS
According to the test results, technical experts have stated that the IPS hard screen LCD TV can excellently display dynamic high-definition images, especially suitable for the reproduction of moving images, without residual or trailing images, It is an ideal carrier for viewing digital high-definition images, especially for fast-moving scenes such as competitions, racing games, and action movies. The expert group stated that due to the unique horizontal molecular structure of the IPS screen, it is very stable when touched without water marks, shadows, or flashes, making it extremely suitable for TVs and public display devices with touch function.
