    The colours are supposed to be truer to life and the viewing angle much better, I'm a bit concerned with LED light bleed and response time reported issues. Most Mac screens are supposed to be IPS.

    I assume desktop, as almost all laptops are TN panels.

    IPS is a big deal for photography, hence why I use my desktop for photos with my old Dell Ultrasharp from years ago. Not even widescreen, but it's a good quality IPS panel. IPS has been going for years.

    LED, depends what kind it is. If it's edge lit, it's not much different to standard CCFL lit LCDs, just makes it possible to produce thinner displays. Possibly produces bleed. I've not really used them. RGB LED lit on the other hand are lit from behind in selective regions and allows a full RGB gamut which has benefits for photos but a disadvantage for general desktop use which expects a different gamut. Main advantage to them is for movie watching on TVs in a dark room to get better black levels.

    Response times I wouldn't worry about. I've never seen a problem with either slow or fast response LCD monitors, including IPS ones, produced in the last 10 years, even when playing games.

    I'd get the prettiest looking one. Or the most expensive. Just because I can.

    Cheers for the info.

    the guy who buys most of our kit seems to live by that motto. :?

    So, I am the owner of a few IPS monitors. I too have a few Dell UltraSharp screens (a bargain @ £20/each from our recycling stock) and of course my Mac monitors

    The resolution on all the IPS monitors I have are stunning, agreed the colours are better than most traditional flat panels and a marked difference on the brilliance of the brightness
