LG IPS Lounge @ SID2010

[gaphic2]

During SID 2010, LG Display will also operate a separate ‘IPS Lounge’ within Washington State Convention Center to introduce LED IPS technology and conduct marketing activities to promote the advantages of panels that utilize IPS technology, inluding a comparison of IPS and TN monitors, and a display of IPS products.

LG Display also plans to promote the advantages of panels that feature IPS(In-plane switching) technology by installing a separate ‘IPS Zone’ within its booth. The zone will feature a 240Hz 47-inch LCD TV with 3ms MPRT (motion picture response time); a high-end, high-resolution 32-inch monitor for the broadcasting industry; a 9.7-inch smartbook product utilizing AH-IPS technology; and a 3.98-inch UHD mobile high resolution (394 PPI) LCD panel that harnesses the world’s leading super high resolution panel technology.

If someone here is attending SID in the next couple of days, please check this out. The 9.7 incher has to be the same as the Ipad screen. I'd be very interested to hear the LG folks talk about whipping up interest for 14-17" LED Advanced Horizontal In-Plane Switching notebook panels.

Well, I managed to dig up a video of the booth. Pity it's a waste of bandwidth. Brian Kim - Project Manager for LG Display LEDIPS TDR only manages to explain that IPS > TN and that Ipads and Imacs have LEDIPS screens. The question that should have been asked, if you're reading this, Brian: "When exactly are you starting to roll these out in notebook sizes?"

Good news for all the IPS fans. LG is currently developing 15.6" and 17.3" LEDIPS notebook panels! No news on release dates, but it seems fair to assume it will be for 2011.

Unfortunately, this means the 16:9 ratio, which, in my opinion, is a horrendous format for a notebook.

There's also this news of a 14.1 (again, 16:9, unfortunately!) IPS display. Looks like people are finally "seeing the light" as it were.

the resolution is 1440x900 so it seems to be 16:10 ratio, not 16:9.

it's cool that there is 14.1" IPS displays in existence; if only these LCD's find their way into thinkpads...

Source one yourself, if the cable connector is the same and power draw specs being the same, you're good to go?
