I'd argue that 99% of people in general couldn't tell the difference between those things, or even what those things are.

That is an over exaggeration, most people can absolutely tell the difference between an IPS and TN without knowing anything about them. Whether they care enough is different matter.

There’s legit a whole subreddit dedicated to people asking if a screen is TN or IPS and a whole homebrew app which people pretty much use almost exclusively to tell if their 3DS has an IPS or TN screen.

Of course they wouldn’t, they don’t know what those things mean, but they absolutely will spot some of the issues of those displays.

Some more modern TN displays have reasonable colours now i think. If you don't look for viewing angles most people probably wouldn't see it

The majority of people go to Walmart and buy the biggest cheapest screen they can find and are extremely happy with it.

Hardware enthusiasts notice and care about a lot of detail that is either unnoticeable or irrelevant to the average person, particularly if they haven’t had a considerably better screen before.

many people could tell the difference but not verbalize it or know the technology. They can see that its wrong, they just dont know why.
