For those of us who remember a world before the
Internet, and even those who remember when the
cool factor about mobile phones was you could
make or receive calls when you weren’t near a
landline, technology is generally viewed as a means
to an end.
Not so for the generation that grew up with the
Internet in its pocket.

released late last year, researchers report just how

the technologies, thank you very much. That’s a very different attitude than the generations before them,
and one recruiters and hiring managers are going to face more and more.
Remember, these Millennials spend hours upon hours watching high-end
smartphones with screens that deliver bright,
level of technology sophistication in their workplaces, which means forward-looking companies will have to
change their thinking to attract and retain the brightest talent. Good enough isn’t good enough anymore for
the up-and-coming generation.

in-plane switching (IPS), was once was the domain of graphic designers,
photographers, CAD engineers and others who required the most accurate color representation. The latest
IPS technology is called Advanced High-Performance IPS (AH-IPS). It’s applicable for
range of employees, from paralegals to real estate brokers, and it offers many advantages over Twisted
Nematic (TN) LCD technology—the basic display brains behind millions of work monitors for many years.
Better Color Representation
One of the main benefits of IPS-based monitors is that they deliver the best and the most accurate color
representation. More and more workflow requires colors to be displayed correctly on a screen — even for
employees who are not graphics professionals. For example, workers may be asked to review marketing
materials on their displays. Without good color representation, they run the risk of misconstruing what they’
seeing. They may think that the colors don’t look right when, in fact, they are. In extreme cases, they may
even misinterpret charts or graphs. This may not be a monitor calibration or color profile issue, but basic
color representation. IPS delivers screen images with colors that are accurate, real and life-like, not muted.
Better Multitasking, Collaboration
AH-IPS technology also provides the best off-angle viewing available for both individuals and groups of
people compared to TN displays. More and more work is done in collaboration — whether through virtual
meetings or with groups of people congregating around a computer screen.
Plus, think about those Millennials again. They are used to gaming
their DNA.
But with a TN-based monitor, the viewer needs to be centered directly in front of the display to see
accurate colors and contrast. That’s also the case with multi-monitor configurations. When offaren’t clean, the color and contrast can decrease dramatically.
