IPS Monitors

Simply put, an IPS computer monitor makes visuals look infinitely better. In-plane switching monitors, or more commonly referred to as IPS monitors, are one of the best types of computer monitors for brilliant colors, high contrast ratios, and wide viewing angles. No matter your vantage point to the computer monitor, an IPS panel helps deliver excellent color and picture quality so every part of the screen provides a stellar image. The ultrawide viewing angles of an IPS monitor make it a great solution as your primary computer monitor or additional screen. At Best Buy, you can find IPS widescreen monitors 33" to 49" wide, creating an immersive computer experience. Even with such a widescreen monitor, the IPS panel is thin and compact so the monitor depth does not take up much room on your desk.

As previously mentioned, IPS displays a significantly high contrast ratio, which is important for accurate color production. When you’re comparing contrast ratios, the ratio lets you know the number of shades between black and white that the monitor is able to render. The higher the first number and the lower the second number, the greater differences between light and dark you will see. This ultimately impacts the range of color your IPS monitor displays.

Best Buy carries all the top tech brands of IPS monitors and screens. This is considered to be one of the best computer monitors for graphic designers, photographers and videographers, and design engineers because of all the colors IPS monitors can capture. Not only is the color captured accurately, but also consistently, making it easier for creatives and engineers to do their work on an IPS display. Gamers may also benefit from an IPS monitor, although this type of display tends to favor image quality over response time. Consider an LED IPS display for the most energy efficient monitor option, or an LCD IPS display if you’re looking for a generally cheaper option that still solves all of your computer needs.

IPS monitors are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, and many even have features like HDMI outputs, headphone jacks, anti-glare flat panel screen, an adjustable base or tiltable screen, but you may want to consider monitor mounts and stands to position your IPS screen exactly where you want it.
