Between an IPS and a TN panel? I would say yes. IPS wins.
But it is a little strange that Dell would produce a TN panel that has slightly less feature and only costs RM20 less. I'm not sure what market they're aiming it at, perhaps those who are really power consumption conscious?
Edit: Oh, considering the features like asset management, which is geared for enterprise-level, I suppose it is targeted at large enterprises.
They need to, in order to compete with other manufacturers, and give option to customer.
After all, they are not the manufacturers themselves, just get panel from OEM, so they do not need extra specific production line to serve this purpose. So the more variety product they can come out, the more better capturing customers.
Some company don't need to choose between IPS vs TN. They just need an LCD for office usage for their personnel, IPS vs TN make little difference.
A Rm20 difference could be a deciding factor when competing with competitors in term of large scale.
Buying hardware for company usage, the consideration is not the same with personnel level.
