 TFT VS IPS

Comparison of TFT and IPS displays:


 TFT IPS
General information Works when the backlight is off, and will look similar to the stock display. Only works when the backlight is on.
Outdoors Visible outdoors and indoors, even in bright light. Poor visibility outdoors or in bright light.
Power Very power efficient. Higher power consumption relative to TFT and stock displays.
Image Crisp image, but not to the same degree as an IPS display.
Viewing angles quickly lose quality.		 More crisp in presentation relative to the TFT display.
Viewing angles retain color and sharpness.
Installation Essentially a drop-in kit that doesn’t require any shell modification. The mod can be undone if desired.
No soldering needed.		 Requires shell modification, some of which can be seen in clear shells. Due to the shell modifications, the mod is not able to be undone.
Soldering needed to enable the brightness control.
