What I'm getting at, is would indicating IPS vs. TN tell folks enough of what they need to know or would it be more important to viewing angles as an explicit metric in the specs?

3 years ago, I bought my wife a name brand Laptop.
It was a special at Amazon on the newest greatest Toshibas that had just come out.
I paid $600 or so for the machine, a 15.6" screen.
It had an Intel i3 or i7. I think i7, but I am not positive.
The machine overall is a screamer. It runs fast, like the proverbial "scalded cat."
The screen is great for color and resolution and all that. A second person viewing from the side has to get pretty close, but that isn't a big problem.
BUT even if you are straight on, and you tilt the screen back or forward 5 degrees the display is markedly worse. (I should say totally unacceptable for me.)
I hate it. IPS is the way to go.
My wife's $219 Chromebook, 4GB Ram, 320GB HD has a much better screen as far as viewing angles, in my opinion.
