About IPS (In plane Switching technology)
IPS (In Plane Switching) technology is one of the most leading LCD technologies in the world. IPS technology innovatively aligns liquid crystal horizontally to reduce the thickness of liquid crystal layer and changes the LCD transmittance. IPS is mainly owned by LG Display Company. This technology was unanimously accepted in its early phase by professionals from all across the globe. IPS enabled LCD TV particularly deserves praise on its  dynamic image expression in comparison to VA LCD TV, because the IPS liquid crystal responds faster and expresses smoother moving images. While ensuring the image sharpness, IPS is more suitable to viewing dynamic images such as the fast paced action movies or sports and can entirely satisfy consumer needs for high definition images.
