Comprehensive List of S-IPS Based LCD Monitors I am often asked for a recommendation on what type or brand of LCD monitor offers the best picture quality, to which I usually just suggest an LCD that is manufactured with an IPS based panel. This list goes a bit further and compiles most, if not all of the S-IPS/H-IPS based monitors that are currently being produced and available on the market. The list is arranged in alphabetical order by manufacturer. To learn the differences between LCD panel types, please read LCD Panel Technology Explained.
