No worries but I think Samsung LCD gives better color contrast as opposed to those LG or Acer. That's just my eyes and it can be subjective though

Samsung is overrated,their cheaper LCDs use panels by other manufacturers which doesn't look as good as their own.Ones that use their won panels look good like the XL2370 but ones that don't look crap since they use the cheapest one they can get.LG makes panels for other companies too besides for their own use,some of them are good,some of them are mediocre.But they are the largest manufacturer for such panels today.

im same like u too.. i need a new monitor. After hearing about the IPS panels superiority in colours,detail and viewing angles but does have some drawbacks.
I mainly use my PC for gaming and some office,internet browsing.
IPS kinda expensive for me.. around rm600-750.
at the same size , could get a alot cheaper TNs
if consider, i could get a good LED TN panel + extra money to upgrade other things at the same price of one IPS monitor.
still not sure which one to get. but i feel.. getting a LED TN is a better deal, cheaper and can upgrade more other things in my pc
As for viewing angles, i dont think i gonna view the monitor from sideways anyway and nobody does that too.. like my previous LCD,the viewing angles doesnt bother me either cause i always view from front, unless lying down on bed to watch movies with that monitor.
but still, IPS is awesome.. maybe if we are tech hungry.. greed for new technology
still confuse in considering tho
i guess it falls in the budget then.. will research more,
u guys here can give me tips and recommendations too

see my reply below.

I've used quite a number of LCD's from LG, Samsung, Acer, Asus which are based on TN panels as well as Dell Ultrasharp (IPS panel) currently. The older Ultrasharp models like mine does not have extensive outputs but the newer ones do. As for the so-called premium panel (IPS), if you're into designing then it will make you a difference but if you're just another home user and gamer, a TN panel works just as great

In fact my VK266H produces brighter colour and contrast as compared to this 3007 WFP because the Ultrasharp series have a layer of protection which gives grainier colours. My friend's 3008WFP on the other hand have input lag issues.
Hence, IPS panels (premium panels) isn't always the best

Just like any other products, they have their pros/cons. I have to say a good TN LCD is just as beautiful as an IPS LCD for general home users. If someone wants the best looking IPS panel LCD then it's obviously the Apple Cinema display (which is also LED backlit). The drawback would certainly be the price

If you have owned both TN and IPS panels LCD before, you will understand that IPS panels are nothing great unless you're into designing whereby color calibration is important for you. Other than that, the TN panels are awesome. Besides, no one will sit 145 degrees beside the LCD when they are using the computer.
I disagree.
It's not just the viewing angle,imo the more important thing is the colour reproduction which sucks on most TN panel LCDs.They are 6bit panels and can't produce 16.7mil colours natively and sort to dithering which makes colour banding/gradient appear.Not just that,most TN panels aren't calibrated at the factory to produce accurate colours which will make skins look blueish etc.When you watch videos/surf the net/view pictures/stare at someone's pic at facebook with a LCD that uses IPS/VA the colours appear more real /the way it's intended to be viewed.
FYI i've used TN panel LCDs and IPS panel LCDs before and still are using them actively now.Haven't had the chance to use a VA LCD extensively as of yet,but from my observation they have better blacks.Plasma still trumps them all though until OLED is cheap enough to be mass produced with sizes larger than 7".
