In-plane switching (IPS) panels keep liquid-crystal molecules aligned parallel to the glass substrate, which greatly reduces color shift and contrast loss at off-axis angles. Most IPS monitors quote 178° horizontal/vertical viewing and cover a higher percentage of sRGB / DCI-P3 gamuts than TN or VA panels. TN panels offer the fastest response times but poor color and narrow angles, while VA panels improve contrast yet still trail IPS for off-angle performance. OLED is not an LCD technology at all.
