    Hello all.
    I bought a laptop https://www.x-kom.pl/p/375392-notebook-laptop-173-msi-gp72-i7-7700hq-32gb-1tb-gtx1050ti.html
    I did not notice that the description does not write a type of matrix, but looking at this price similar laptops stuck in my mind that at this price they all have IPS matrices.
    Satisfied with the purchase, I tested the equipment, read the manufacturer's model number, then I checked the parameters on panelok.com and big surprise, it turned out to be a matrix of the TN type. I called the store and they said it was TN. Again on the MSI website it is writing IPS. I called MSI and the guest told me that this is an IPS-EWV matrix and that exactly this model belongs to the IPS family but it is a little worse than standard IPS and much better than normal TN.
    Here is my matrix: http://www.panelook.com/N173HHE-G32_Innolux_17.3_LCM_overview_28924.html
    the parameters even have cool 120 Hz, 16 million colors, 94% coverage of the NTSC palette.

    My friend has such a paw: https://www.x-kom.pl/p/316558-notebook-laptop...-ge72-apache-pro-i7-32-1tb256ssd-gtx970m.html about IPS matrix
    http://www.panelook.com/LP173WF4-SPF1_LG%20Display_17.3_LCM_overview_21056.html
    60Hz parameters, only 262 thousand colors and 72% coverage of the NTSC palette.

    I compared both of these matrices live and it is different with colors.
    For me, the white color is a cold type, my friend is a warmer type.
    On my TNe the angles are quite small, I noticed it with my eyes (although the parameters are quite large for TN because 80/80/60/60 in the friend's IPSe writes 80/80/80/80) and the change in color at an angle is noticeable and white becomes quite yellow / orange.
    We have opened the same red file again, I have a beautiful blood red color and my friend on IPS red color is orange.
    I will add that we used the same files for color tests.

    I don't know whether to give my laptop back (I have 15 days to return in X-com) and buy IPS matrixes with weaker parameters or stay on my TN but which is faster but the angles are smaller. Can you advise me something?

    What can you advise here? AMOLED screens are the best hit from phones. They have their advantages but their bright colors do not match some. Proposal? This is your laptop - if you like the image, it does not strain your eyes, does not offend colors and their reproduction, why do you need a different screen? Technology technology but the screen you have to look at it and the most important parameter is your subjective feeling and not some technologies and parameters there. With the rest it also depends a bit on what you do on it. Something else will work in a word, something different in games or movies. If you like the painting in what you want it to do, leave it and replace it if not. Although technologies would not be guided anyway - the most important how you like one or another picture. You will place 5 screens next to each other and each will give a different picture. You can always pick up the colors themselves in the graphics driver.

    The drawback of this mine is the angle of view and the white color is so cold as if even slightly falling into blue. Plus, compared to the IPS of a friend's black is much better and, for example, as I wrote, red is red and in a friend's, the same file with red is displayed as orange. In general, the colors are beautiful, really such vivid colors, compared to my old laptop which is also in TN, there are such pale colors on the old one.
    What am I doing on my computer, some movie, learning Java programming, rarely games, but it may be because my old laptop won't take much time for games. Now on such equipment I could play a demanding game. A friend says that a slight streak on games can be seen on its IPS, it is known TN has a faster response time to colors and this matrix is already 120Hz. My angles of view hurt the most.

    Generally, there are not so many matrices that will meet all requirements. As for the colors I wrote, you can try to remedy the calibration although I do not know how it will work in total how the graphics will switch between intelHD and GTX.
    If the colors and sharpness match you, then in my opinion viewing angles are not necessary. They have some meaning on the phone or tablet, but rather on the computer you sit straight ahead - only that you watch movies with someone. If you work alone with a computer, why look at the screen from the side?

    Well, that someone stuck the tongue on the chin 8-)

    I have such a laptop grandpa Thinkpad T60p - it opens "flat" or 180 degrees. And if the screen is on the table, you can view what is on it from all sides and looks like paper from all sides and height.

    I have an older 23-inch TN monitor at home. From a distance, when you look at the screen next to the movie, it's ok. Maybe you're right 310artur. Only now these IPS are so fashionable I thought I would buy IPS for this money. Just yesterday I compared several TN monitors and this familiar IPS monitor and looking straight at each monitor, mine had the most beautiful colors, such vivid natural colors. A friend of IPS spoke red to almost orange and other colors were pale. V = I think I will leave this laptop.
    Thanks for advice.
