I decided to get the LS IPS224V-PN and here is a look at it. First thing I noticed was that the stand was a bit… rickety, probably from the thin neck. This does get noticed especially with the desktop I own, tetters. The second thing I noticed was how even the picture was: good, crisp, even, vibrant. The other thing I noticed was the permeating, yellow din that I’m familiar with with LEDs. This last thing can fortunately be adjusted).

I’m not sure what ips is but I think it contributes to the nice viewing angle.
Setup was real easy, took no more than a few minutes and monitor calibration was basic.
| Setting | Default | New |
|---|---|---|
| Brightness | 100 | |
| Contrast | 50 | 76 |
| Color Temp | Custom | Cool |
The color temperature of cool does a good job to neutralize the yellow color the LED; however the custom setting did better with pictures.
Alternate (yellow LED color remains):
| Setting | Default | Alt. |
|---|---|---|
| Brightness | 100 | |
| Contrast | 50 | 67 |
| Color Temp | Custom | |
| Red | 50 | 46 |
| Green | 50 | 46 |
| Blue | 50 | 59 |
Ultimately I choose to use the cool temperature.
The power button is a large half-circle with an refracting light to indicate power-saving. However, it is extremely bright. There is an option to turn it off when the power is off, but it will still be seen in standby-mode; I’ve had to cover mine up.
I got this display for reading and it is good for that. Text looks very nice. But it also is good with pictures at least as far as my semi-professional eye is concerned. The 14ms (WTG?) response time is a bit on the high end. Videos do show a bit of “ghosting” but it doesn’t bother me that bad.
