Hi, Can anybody tell me what is the difference between TFT/PVA and TFT/TN? I was looking to buy an LCD monitor and came across this terminolgy.

PVA means Pattern Vertical Alignment TN means Twisted Nematic There is also STN: supertwisted nematic. and about a dozen other types
quote from HardForum: "TN Panels have poor viewing angles, low contrast, but they also have the fastest response time unfortunately they sacrifice picture quality. PVA on the other hand have much better viewing angles, higher contrast, and better color representation but the have the slowest responce time unless you get one with overdrive technology. Although some people still see ghosting on those."
here is a couple links for some more info. http://www.comit.uk.com/research/?DMLCD http://www.xnumber.com/xnumber/displays.htm

No problem, I hope this helps you make a good decision on what you get. I also want to ask, are you getting the PVA or the TN type monitor?
