Panel technology : TN, VA, IPS or OLED?
As a photo editor what you should be looking for is a monitor that will allow you to open and make color, contrast and other changes to images. This then needs to be translated to photobook or printer. Only a screen that gives high color reproduction is the best monitor for photo editing. What is that monitor? Computers for Editing. Either Mac OS or Windows will work fine, and Lightroom and Photoshop function exactly the same on either operating system. As Lightroom because you can view thumbnails of your library on one monitor and view images full-screen on your second monitor. For photo editing, I’d rather have two smaller monitors than.
Today, four display panel technologies (and their variants) are competing for the market: TN, VA (or PA), IPS or OLED. They all have different advantages and disadvantages unless... unless the most recent one - OLED - brings together all the advantages of each of them and agrees on them in the long run?
1 - TN (Twisted Nematic) panel
This technology makes it possible to vary the position of the liquid crystals in each pixel very quickly to make the light pass or not.

This technology therefore allows very high refresh rates and will be of direct interest to players or even videographers who do not want blurred or remanent effects on moving objects in their videos. The other advantage of TN panel is their very low cost; TN panel are not expensive.
But of course, they also have some flaws and not the least for photo retouchers: their angle of vision before the image darkens is not very wide. To look at the image correctly so with its clarity you really have to look at the slab in front of you so if someone looks at the screen next to you, they won't see at all the same thing as you.
