Viewing angles and movies
There is no need to take a look at the technical data sheet to guess the technology of this monitor. Viewing angles speak for themselves. They are wide, and so wide that there is not a single monitor (except for other IPS) that has such good images when seen from the side:
The contrast ratio reduction is almost equal to zero when looked at from the side, above or below. This is a perfect tool for dual monitor configurations; showing your work on several screens simultaneously or watching movies…from a certain distance.
As usual, IPS equals strong twinkling effects. These panels strongly accentuate the twinkling in movies. It’s so obvious that the work of the graphic card to mask it isn't enough. Unless you really step back, it is still possible to see it.
