Apple 24" LED is H-IPS (with pic)

November 28, 2008. They said it would be up to 10 business days when I ordered it (and it hasn't been that long yet). I'm just excited to get it.
Update - I should have mine early this week.
Just picked up my 24" led acd from the apple store at the galleria (last one) and its perfect! =D
I thought his photo was proof? I don't see it on his photo. The only thing is says is LG display, how does this or the link to the specs prove it's IPS? Sorry for the ignorance.
It also says the model (LM240WU6). If you look into the specifications of the model, it is one of LG's newest H-IPS panels.
I see. Now hopefully they're using the same in all the displays. There's the infamous Dell 20 inch screen that comes sometimes with IPS, sometimes with VPN, for $350.
I don't think Apple has ever used different display panels in the same Cinema Display model. For their Cinema Displays, Apple has always used some form of IPS.
So what if its h-ips?
The other thread review said that the color was too good and wasn't representative of what an actual print out would be like, even after careful color calibration.
Which means this monitor is not meant for professionals anyway. So why put in an IPS panel if its just meant for the masses who just want to view photos and watch movies on their screen

First, people who say things like this are usually calibrating wrong.
Second, not all professionals are in the print business, and those who aren't in print won't want their monitors' capabilities artificially limited by the low capabilities of print media.
My GOD its in plain sight on his picture where it has the LM240WU6. You've been trying to figure this out for the past week!! The panel itself doesnt say H-IPS!! It has the panel model #, LM240WU6 and just google the LM240WU6 or check the link that alphaod has put to show that LM240WU6 is an H-IPS panel made by LG!
Forgive my being unobservant, but where in that link does it say it's H-IPS? The funny thing is, I seem to remember seeing it at that link before, but now I can't find any mention of it.
Agree, that link originally posted by alphaod has no mention of H-IPS. Why would it have been edited?
look at the model number (LM240WU6), and google LM240WU6 to see what type of display it is. Its an LG H-IPS panel (LM240WU6).

Google must be producing different results for you then. For me it shows up the original link that alphaod posted (http://lcd.eechain.com/datasheet_detail.asp?bg_key=E1&sk_nub=LM240WU6-SDA1) and all the rest are links to this and other forums that refer to alphaod's actual post. Its not a case of not believing, very pleased that someone unlocked the mystery. I just haven't seen any hard proof for myself yet. Could you possibly provide a link?
It's not mentioned directly, but the LM240WU3 is used on the 24" iMac and that is verified, so the correct assumption is the later revision would only get better not worse.
Also if the panel wasn't IPS, LG labels the label with the moniker (eg the TN version of the same model would be LM240WU1(TN))
Google produces different results whether you are logged in or not. Funnily, this was actually being discussed on one of the recent TWiT podcasts.
