I would assume viewing angle would be perfect. I'm looking at an IPS 4K iMac right now and there is literally zero limitation on viewing angle on either axis. I think the LCDs in quality phones have been that way for years and they aren't usually IPS. I very well may get one of these but only because I have more than one NGP. I wouldn't Frankenstein my only unit and slaughter the battery life.

Posted by SignOfZeta on February 12, 2021 at 23:37:49 EST in reply to I've always heard IPS screens have better viewing angles. I'm colorblind so the color subtleties are lost on me. Really though I was just subconsciously parroting the language used in the video. But yeah ANYWAY back to the mod, it does look nice, although naturally it kills the battery. (n/t) from Jason.

Frankenstein My Only Unit, btw, worst Zappa album of all time. Terrible. Gross.

Follow Ups:

Most phones do have either IPS or OLED displays. I bought one with a non-IPS screen a a couple years and it's pretty poor. Lots of cheap handheld Famicom clones have those, too. If I was buying a replacement screen from Shenzhen off eBay or AliExpress, that's what I would assume it was unless it specifically said IPS.

Good point. I stopped paying attention to phone screens when they got so good that I didn’t have a single complaint...which was iPhone 4 probably, now a decade ago.
