Here at forum we mostly know difference between various LCD technologies and problems/benefits they provide.
But my personal experience as an IT journalist is, that the marketing departments and/or PR companies are absolutely inept when trying to explain this to the general public.
In Czechia NEC is probably the worst. They use nearly the identical description for MVA panels as well as for TN or IPS. I got their PR about NEC 2490 being introduced in Europe. We all know here it is an excellent monitor, or at least it used to be before other come. But the PR was horrible, they totally failed to explain why the monitor is so great. No wonder the press release hasn't been widely published. I had to write my own news on the topic.
The people in the NEC marketing department are nice and trying to be helpful, however they can barely distinguish between H-IPS and TN. For the, the gamut is something cool and every monitor "increases productivity" and blah, blah.
So! Customers are not stupid. But not every customer can do a through research amd it is up to the marketing people to truly explain, why the hell is that damned monitor so expensive. And it can be a long adn tedious work, but it pays back eventually.
For xample the knowledge about LCDs in Czechia is so bad, that even some professional graphic designers are willing to say that PVA is better than IPS. (Eizo has a very good propaganda here )
(Publishing this article on a Czech forum would probably result into me being bashed by Eizo and Samsung hardcore fans )
