How are the viewing angles on this tv? Does it seem to use an IPS panel?

Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue. You can clearly see the full picture while practically standing next to it....but honestly, who even stands that far to the side watching TV anyway, to me that's a bogus specification. Trust me, this TV has an amazing picture. You would be totally throwing away your money on something more expensive. Something else to keep in mind, you can't always trust the video feeds that big box stores feed their sets. Sometimes that have worse feeds going to certain TV's because they need to meet a sales quota. ALSO, those TVs on the wall at the stores are NOT calibrated for the best viewing. I have my sharp 70" on the Dynamic mode, everything just pops more. Hope that helps. Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue.

2 viewing angles. It is not mfgr by Belkin so I don't know if it's the same or not.

The quality is very good coming from a IPS monitor myself I can say this monitor is very good in picture quality. One of the best monitors I have ever owned.

It looks as good as a non-HDTV.From the few times I've looked at SD tv though, it doesn't utilize widescreen (It's still 4:3 rather than 16:9). So that's something you might want to think about.

I don't really do photographic work. It is far superior to the old TN screen it replaced. Without putting an IPS display next to it I couldn't make a decent comparison. Now that Dell is running sales on their 24" 4K IPS display I'd take a closer look at that. If you do get this 28" display keep fluorescent lights away from it. Fluorescent flicker plus 30Hz refresh = ugh.

In general, this is a decent TN panel with very good color, and relatively minimal color shift from different viewing angles. While it will not compete with a good IPS monitor, after calibrating, colors actually look very good. People saying that this monitor looks washed out probably do not have it set up correctly. It is far from washed out, with decent saturation and good contrast when properly adjusted.

I've had this model for quite some time. There is a little degradation from an angle but it's not bad at all. I can't imagine that anyone would position a chair at a viewing angle that would make it unacceptable - it'd have to be practically beside the TV.

Not classified as IPS, but I personally have found the viewing angles to be decent.

Hello--I just bought this TV and it was delivered on April 1st. I have it set up with a Directv HD satellite box via an hdmi cable. The picture is very good to excellent. I also have a 50" plasma and compared to this Toshiba, I think [the plasma] has a better picture, but I also have an older 20" Samsung lcd and this Toshiba blows it away. I think you'll be happy if you purchase this TV and connect it to an HD source. One drawback I can see is that viewing angles are not the best; that's something that lcd's are known for. If you watch this TV off to one side as opposed to straight on viewing, the colors get a bit washed out. The other thing I noticed is that this TV has only one antenna/cable input. My old TV that this one replaced had 2, and I was able to plug in the satellite box to one and a "rabbit ears" antenna to the other. Then I was able to switch to the antenna feed and watch our extra local over-the-air TV channels (such as 2, 5, 7, 9 in Chicago). (I can get the digital local channels with satellite, but not the extra 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, etc. channels) I suppose I could buy a splitter/diplexer to split the signal, but it might not work with satellite (I believe it will work with cable but I'm not sure). Other than that (and the viewing angles), I'm very, very pleased with this TV.

I'm a pretty dedicated gamer myself and I've had the monitor for a few weeks now. I could hardly notice anything personally. However if you really don't like the colors you could download the proper monitor color profile online and it will supposedly make it look great. Although I never bothered because it was fine to me. And I have no idea what the angle problem is. If you mean is the screen a little tilted or whatever I'm going to say that mine is perfectly fine. Hope this helps you make your choice.

I own an LG47CS570 and it has a matte finish. According to the LG website, all newer LG TVs have a matte screen to reduce glare. All LG TVs 47 inches or larger have an IPS panel, so off angle viewing should not be an issue; it certainly isn't an issue on mine.

Very good viewing angle. I used two as dual screen for gaming and App developer.

The picture from an angle is more than acceptable. My TV is setup on the short wall of a rectangular room, so it's not really an issue for me, but having just stood and watched for a while on the side of the tv, it's not that bad. The picture/colors don't degrade much until you reach an almost unwatchable angle, so it's almost a non-issue. Aside from the issues I've had with the networking rendering the TV useless, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this tv again.

Yes it has an IPS panel. It is the best tv I have ever owned and would buy nothing but LG tv's.

Yes, it is an AH-IPS monitor and I'm very happy with the viewing angle, much better than the twisted nematic monitor I have sitting next to it. It's a bit hard to say what exact viewing angle you can expect, because I don't know what you find acceptable. The technical specs say 178 degrees horizontal and also 178 degrees vertical. The horizontal angle is similar to the twisted nematic monitor but the vertical angle is much, much better in my case. I think it's fair to say that you can look at this monitor from every reasonable angle and see a good image.

That sounds like an apple question since their retina display is based on this decades old tech. IPS does have better image quality on still images but lacks on response time for TV viewing.
