NEC AS193i-BK Why Migrate to IPS Panels - Page 2

Page 2 of 4 choice between more money and access to smart phones, Facebook and other hot technologies, they'll take the technologies, thank you very much. That's a very different attitude than the generations before them, and one recruiters and hiring managers are going to face more and more. Remember, these Millennials spend hours upon hours watching high-end LCD LED TVs, and using tablets and smartphones with screens that deliver bright, exciting colors that pop. So understandably, they want a certain level of technology sophistication in their workplaces, which means forward-looking companies will have to change their thinking to attract and retain the brightest talent. Good enough isn't good enough anymore for the up-and-coming generation. The good news for organizations looking to tap into this pool of desirable candidates is that a high-end monitor technology on par with what Millennials are used to is now readily available in displays that are affordable. Not only would upgrading company work displays help with hiring hot prospects, but for those already on board, it could provide an incentive for staying. This technology, called in-plane switching (IPS), was once was the domain of graphic designers, photographers, CAD engineers and others who required the most accurate color representation. The latest IPS technology is called Advanced High-Performance IPS (AH-IPS). It's applicable for companies with a wide range of employees, from paralegals to real estate brokers, and it offers many advantages over Twisted Nematic (TN) LCD technology-the basic display brains behind millions of work monitors for many years. Better Color Representation One of the main benefits of IPS-based monitors is that they deliver the best and the most accurate color representation. More and more workflow requires colors to be displayed correctly on a screen - even for employees who are not graphics professionals. For example, workers may be asked to review marketing materials on their displays. Without good color representation, they run the risk of misconstruing what they're seeing. They may think that the colors don't look right when, in fact, they are. In extreme cases, they may even misinterpret charts or graphs. This may not be a monitor calibration or color profile issue, but basic color representation. IPS delivers screen images with colors that are accurate, real and life-like, not muted. Better Multitasking, Collaboration AH-IPS technology also provides the best off-angle viewing available for both individuals and groups of people compared to TN displays. More and more work is done in collaboration - whether through virtual meetings or with groups of people congregating around a computer screen. Plus, think about those Millennials again. They are used to gaming and group thinking, and collaboration is in their DNA. But with a TN-based monitor, the viewer needs to be centered directly in front of the display to see the most accurate colors and contrast. That's also the case with multi-monitor configurations. When off-viewing angles aren't clean, the color and contrast can decrease dramatically. http://www.ravepubs.com/migrate-ips-panels/ 12/23/2013
