I was hoping this was going to come out with an IPS display, but I'm a bit disappointed. I do a lot of photo editing and the color shift when trying to work with other people and when trying to show photos to people via laptop isn't acceptable.
I wonder if I'd be able to buy the panel from the 1080 display and maybe swap it out. It's possible the connectors are all different and I'd have to splice some stuff, but I'm just curious what folks think about the idea...
I'd totally give up some resolution for viewing angles...
Thanks,

Well, the razer blade 14 screen is a standard TFT/TN screen... it's not IPS and as such has color shift at angles due to the way the LCD crystals are aligned.

Edit: It rivals some IPS panels I've seen, so I just want to make sure you've seen the 1080p IPS Blade and know that its what you need.Last edited: Jul 11, 2016 -

Try running an LCD conditioning application. I fixed a similar issue on my Dell U2410 a while back. That monitor has this built in conditioning. But there are applications out there that do the exact same color cycling.
Might fix the issue. -
Don't look at it from an angle. Sit dead on.

I'd have to see the 1080p one in person, haven't done that yet, but the reviews were good that I saw.
What I can't figure out is if the 2016 Blade has the same screen as this early 2015 one...

This one shows really nice viewing angles, with the same res, and what should be the same panel...
I'm not seeing those same results, so I'm wondering if Razer changed something for 2016? -
This review claims IPS as well:

Also shows no discoloration on angle:

AUO has their own name for it, and so do other companies.
Also try LCD conditioning before changing the panel, it helps in most cases. -
Well aware that it can be IPS... IGZO is independent of TN/IPS. I'm just not seeing the viewing angles I'm used to with my main IPS displays I use on my desktop. By design, anything that mimics IPS shouldn't have any color shift at slight angles.
I'll run it through some conditioning and see what becomes of it...bloodhawk likes this. -
But that color shift is weird, unless the existing one is a TN. I remember hearing something about the panel in in Linus's video though.
Possible to put the 1080p IPS screen on the new 2016 Blade 14?
