News MSI’s Stealth 15M Slips Tiger Lake, PCIe 4.0 Into ‘Thinnest 15 Inch Gaming Laptop’

I'm so sick of laptop manufacturers putting "IPS Level" on their display description. It's either IPS, VA, or TN. If I see "IPS Level" I assume that's false advertising and expect something awful.

As I understand it's been explained to me, there is a trademark on the name IPS, so any time it's used in marketing materials, companies have to pay a fee. Calling something IPS level is a way of getting around this. And while I've certainly seen screens labeled as IPS level that don't get all that bright, I've never seen one without the excellent off-angle viewing that is the hallmark of IPS panels.
