I’ve not noticed a difference to the battery life in reality but in theory the panel should use a watt less at max brightness (4.1W with the stock N140FGE-EA2 vs 3.1W max on the new one), but also has almost double the brightness so does not need to be ran as high.
The main difference is with the colours, the new panel covers 71% of the NTSC colourspace where the other only covers 47%. Plus IPS displays just have much better viewing angles so doesn’t need to be viewed straight on.
Wow, thanks for the tip!
How’s the power consumption?

Excellent!
