Like most types of panel technology, LCD also comes under a general category; namely Twisted Nematic and In-Plane Switching technologies. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, this can not be separated from the supporting technology

Twisted Nematic (TN)
Arguably the role behind the success of LCD panels, Twisted Nematic (TN) panels work on precise control of the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules. In this technology, liquid crystal sheets can be visualized as they are arranged in a spiral structure due to the orientation of the sheets parallel to each other. When an electric current is applied, the liquid crystal sheet changes from a spiral structure to a new vertical formation. This property causes the TN panel to be ON and OFF. Taking advantage of this fact combined with the use of polarization allows TN panels to display images. TN panels are the most common type of LCD on the market. This panel is relatively inexpensive and has a good response time which makes it minimal in artifacts and blur disturbances when displaying fast-moving images. Unfortunately, TN panels only use 18 bits when displaying RGB color, which makes them a bit less up to date than the 24 bit color standard. 4 Latest and Most Complete PS4 Pro Slim Features
In-Plane Switching (IPS)
Developed by Hitachi in 1996, the IPS panel was created to overcome the disadvantages of TN panels. IPS panels involve the arrangement and movement of liquid crystal molecules between glass substrates, much like TN panels. But instead of the liquid crystal turning into a vertical formation, the liquid crystal on the IPS panel is still in a parallel orientation. But the relative distance between the liquid crystals and their width changes under the influence of the electric current. The nature of the IPS panel causes the states to be ‘off’ and ‘on’ separately. Coupled with polarization, IPS panels use all three of these properties to display an image. Because the liquid crystals are still in a parallel orientation, there is minimal light scattering in the liquid crystal matrix on an IPS panel rather than a TN panel. This causes IPS panels to consume 15 percent more power, and tend to be more expensive than TN panels. Apart from that, the IPS panel is superior in displaying images and the surface of the panel is relatively stronger.
