Laptop screen with myopia - better IPS at 1920px at 17'' or TN Film at 1600px at 17''?

Question

Iron

I choose a laptop for coding (it is important that my eyes get tired as little as possible).
There are two options for ordering online. There is no way to evaluate them personally before buying.
1. IPS at 1920*1080px by 17'' with anti-glare
2. TN Film at 1600*900px by 17'' with anti-glare
( comparison link )
IPS should have better viewing angles.
TN Film allegedly the viewing angles are not much smaller, but the grain (pixel size) is larger
What do you advise?
The main criterion is to minimize eye fatigue.

Answer 1

To minimize eye fatigue, it is necessary that the backlight does not flicker. Brightness at minimum + pencil test, or see with a smartphone camera. For myself, I generally assembled a sensor that measures the flicker frequency. This is how I chose my laptop.
As for the original question - I'm for IPS. On a TN monitor, vertical viewing angles were terribly annoying. Slightly tilted the screen - the colors swam. For a laptop, this is especially important.

Answer 2

What kind of grain??!!!)))
IPS in any version is better for the eyes in terms of Flickering
And the grain should be invisible to the eye, otherwise the eye will start interpolation together with the brain, do you need it?)))
Give it larger grain. Well, look for a resolution of 1000x800 on Avito then, well ... Or take a plasma of 2000, there are grains like grains.

Answer 3

If you only judge by the screen, for coding, then I would take IPSku.
In TNok, the vertical angles are very small and even with small changes in the angle of view, the brightness drops noticeably, and IPS also has a smoother refresh rate.
Grain is not critical, even per revolution with less grain and properly configured scaling / environment will look better and smoother.

Answer 4

It is not the eyes that get tired in this case, but just the head and this is expressed by a slight pain in the eyes. To make the "head" less tired, 3 things are required:
1. Less grain
2. Less flicker
3. Permanent picture
2 and 3 is only IPS, moreover, cheap IPS can also play a joke
1 - the number of dots per 1 inch.
The most ideal option for 17-19 inches goes beyond 1080p. The resolution should be higher.
I will add:
Of course, I wrote a little at the very beginning obviously wrong. Of course, the eyes, like a muscle, get tired and cause discomfort (by the way, a moistened warm towel quickly solves the problem)
But eye fatigue is more often a consequence that comes directly from the brain. Most often occurs in the process of re-adaptation of the picture that we see. On the fingers in this situation:
TN matrix has always had disgusting viewing angles. That is, for example, the green color at a right angle or at a slight difference. We do not look at the monitor at a right angle, we can tilt our head a little or turn our torso to the side. For the brain it will be like this: Look, it remembers - yeah, there's a green button. At some point, you move your body to the right, for example, the green color changes a little shade (you may not even see the difference), but for the brain it will be: EPRST! It was green just now, but it has become green with a gray-brown hue! GALAXY! DANGER! Next, the brain sends a signal to the eyes, clarification is required and your pupil makes micro-movements (including refocusing). As soon as it dawns on the brain that this will not help, it begins to readapt the colors. And this process is endless.
That is why the design has palettes, rules for mixing colors, and so on and so forth. The more the product design tires the viewer, the less they need it.
And that's why a person who draws something or makes a color correction rests (or rather, should rest) every 20 minutes. It is 20 minutes of looking at one object that makes further processing impossible. Nuclear acid colors are corrected by the brain into normal ones, etc. A person, even with good color perception and vision, already sees not what it really is.

Answer 5

The place of all TNs is in the trash. Of course, certainly IPS. But! The IPS matrix is ​​a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one. That is, these 3 letters are not yet a guarantee of quality.
