Hi, my friend is interested in one of these but -

Viewing Angle( L/R/U/D ) 85 / 85 / 80 / 80 by panel

To me that sounds like it must be a basic/cheap Twisted (TN) panel or one of the other earlier technologies like the Fujitsu VA. Having said that, the Fujitsu LCD monitor I am viewing this on has a decent viewing angle and is from 2005 so I think TVs should have moved on a bit from that. Strange that they are apparently using this tech on even the largest screens - perhaps they have their own factory? I think if the angle states 178 it is IPS, 176 is usually MVA or SVA (S-PVA). I don't believe these numbers flat out, I just use that for reference. Also, it states response time is 'under 5ms' (sic), if it is under 5ms what is the actual response time???
Ebuyer also sell Vistron brand TVs, I think they are a Taiwanese company and probably a better bet as far as quality is concerned. Well, at least you can find out more about them, though their website is old. I have seen Vistron DVD Recorders on Ebay and I think they may be related to Vestel Recorders so perhaps their TVs are Vestel also. Vestel is a Turkish electronics group with hands in the component market and apparently make many finished products like the Argos (Home Retail Group) brands such as Bush, Goodmans, Wharfedale (Wharfedale is not owned by Argos) and some of the major companies like Hitachi, Toshiba etc. I think Vestel have used IPS panels in the past, but couldn't swear to it - the Vistron brand TVs are now using IPS from LG Display though so it might be more than a coincidence. Sorry this sounds confusing, but it seems it is! Edit: Apparently Vistron are from Singapore? Or at least their website is registered there.
