    I had to look that up. From http://www.tnpanel.com/tn-vs-ips-va/

    TN
    TN (Twisted Nematic) is the most common technology and also the oldest. The main advantage is that it provides the shortest response times, making them good for gaming. In combination with LED back-lighting, TN monitors also offer high brightness and draw less power than competing technologies. Another important factor is that they are cheap to manufacture, resulting in low prices for end users.
    The drawbacks to the technology is the color shifts that occur at wider viewing angles. There are large differences in quality between different products, but the lower-end ones will exhibit color shift even at moderate angle changes. A TN-based display can usually be identified through these color distortions when viewing the picture from above or from the sides.

    IPS
    The main advantages with IPS monitors is that the technology offer noticeably better color reproduction as well as much better viewing angles. The downside used to be a difficulty to emphasize blacks, which in turn meant problems with the contrast. IPS panels were also very expensive and slow in the beginning.
    Now the manufacturers have started producing so-called Super-IPS (S-IPS) panels at reasonable prices. Response times have crept down considerably and the contrast is much better. In addition, color display and the options to calibrate the colors are superior to the other panel types. IPS panels keep colors constant, even in sharp angles.

    VA – MVA and PVA
    Further developments have led to MVA and PVA, where the manufacturers are trying to find a technique that would combine the advantages of both TN and IPS. MVA panels offer good viewing angles and generally better blacks and contrast than either TN or IPS panels. Their response times also look good on paper, but unfortunately not in the real world
    Even if the response time for white to black is low, it is often considerably higher between two dark tones, leading to Ghosting effects. Another weakness is the color reproduction, which in itself is better than TN but not as good as IPS. PVA panels are in many ways similar to MVA, but have even better blacks and great contrast. The problem with ghosting remains, however.

        Don't do what the muppet above me has said.

        Just buy an IPS or PLS (Samsung's version).

        @scrimshaw:
        Do what scrimshaw suggested Linus knows his stuff. The answer is it depends on what matters to you and how you will use the monitor. Photography nuts needing precision RGB colour or graphics professional, working in daytime an IPS is the way to go. Gamers (esp FPS) who gaming into the wee hours, a TN panel is still the best bet.

  TN is what we had for many years and mostly does not look as good as IPS. Check reviews for TN's.

  My main concern is its 1080 for a large monitor, would want ~3k.

    24" is the perfect size for a 1920x1080 monitor.

    You really can't please everyone on this site!

      I have a 24" 2160p monitor. The pixels are still pretty large for text on 1080p, but I admit to there being usability problems on Windows and Windows programs still at 4k.

    The majority of 24" monitors are 1080p.

    If you walk into a business, they're probably using a 24" 1080p monitor.

    TN is great for gaming, because high refresh rate IPS panels are still extremely expensive.

      We have 24" monitors - 3840 x 2160. I have 1920x1080 on my 17" laptop is that res and I sit the same distance from the screen. The res i mention would be more expensive, more like $500-$1000 than $165, but for that you get IPS and a good range of connections.

      Personally, if its my primary monitor and I'll be looking at it more than 5 hours a day, I'd spend the extra (or try to convince my boss to spend more).

        Did your business pay for those or did employees have to buy them?

    Why are you asking for a '3K' resolution on a budget monitor? It's obviously not for you, so…
