I will explain to you popularly what is the difference between real IPS and "IPS Level":
1. True IPS screens have an A-TW polarizer (special coating) that eliminates Glow effects when the viewing angle deviates from perpendicular to the screen plane.
2. Real IPS always have viewing angles of 178/178, and more often a contrast drop of 15:1, and not 10:1, as on "IPS Level".
3. Color depth on IPS is at least 8-10 bits. At IPS Level, most often 6+2(frc)/8+2(frc).
4. True IPS usually have a minimum of 95%+ AdobeRGB space.

Most often, point 1, which is key in terms of criticality, is not fulfilled. That is why on the "IPS Level" there are monstrous highlights at the viewing angle with all the Glow effects, which even with a contrast of 1800:1+, as on LG "Black IPS" panels, still gives unpleasant effects when viewing, for example, video content in complete darkness. And with the A-TW polarizer, even the 1200:1 contrast panel looks much better visually than LG's "Black IPS" 1800:1.

LG is the only one on the planet that holds patents for the A-TW polarizer and does not allow anyone to apply them. Well, the price of such a coating increases the price of the panel, which naturally reduces the desire of manufacturers to try to repeat this technology independently. It's easier for them to give hamsters to a glare glossy AMOLED with low-frequency PWM than to deal with the creation of decent versions of real IPS panels, which, moreover, with an A-TW polarizer will consume much more, at the same brightness level as on conventional "IPS Level" AntiGlare panels

LG recently released 2 monitors for the first time in 8-10 years with a 32/27 inch A-TW polarizer, but unfortunately on regular IPS panels with 1000:1, not on high contrast "Black IPS".  With what it is connected, it is not clear. It would seem to make Black IPS panels with a native contrast of 1800:1+ and with an A-TW polarizer and only manage to sell lots...but apparently LG is not interested or for some reason they are not able to do it technologically.

Yeah, they say that "IPS-level" for almost all their laptops, here is Flow X13 2023 as example: rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-flow/rog-flow-x13-2023-series/spec/

"IPS" is a type of display. "level" is nothing but PR void. Ask Asus why it uses PR language!

Why notebookcheck calls this an IPS screen when Asus says it is "IPS level"?

Thank for the review!

I geuss this model will cost around 1700usd (because the f15 4050, 12700 cost 2000usd)  (In my country the prices are around 2-3 times that of the US)


By the way, is there any model with the same screen as the previous model? (the screen of the model with 12700h + 3060 you reviews)
Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX507ZM
TL156VDXP0101, IPS, 1920x1080, 15.60   (300hz)

When we will get review of Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i?

There would be an excellent office worker with 18 "4k@120Hz (with the same contrast, it is necessary, if this is of course true, taking into account the visibility of the darkest shades - and this is the manufacturers' favorite cheat, which is ignored in NB reviews and of course the real response is no more than 8ms on G2G / B2W ), plus a better keyboard, plus a couple more ports on the right (I would like the power plug on the back, because now it blocks the exhaust on the left). And of course with an upgrade to Zen4 Phoenix, because Zen3+ is obsolete. At the same levels PL1/PL2.

Other purposes of buying it are not clear to me - the screen is too small, and a priori it is no longer suitable for games.

It's not funny, but the memory bandwidth of this model with DDR5 4800 is almost the same as the L5Pro with 7745HX was in reviewed in May, to the complete shame of Lenovo. And there is no USB40 port, also to the shame of Lenovo, although there and there - there is no built-in USB40 controller (it is only in Zen4 Phoenix according to AMD specifications).

In general, there is already A15 with Zen4 Phoenix and it has been on sale in our stores for a long time (a month) with 7940HS, but it is not popular among buyers, due to the monstrous price already close to $2000 (1700$) (especially considering that you will have to immediately throw it out mentally outdated factory 16GB DDR5 4800 from Asus and install DDR5 5600 16+16, which in any case will immediately bring the price of the laptop to almost $2000) bundled with a weak 4070 for new releases of games.

And again, with Zen4 Phoenix, people already want 17.3"-18" 16:10 4k@120Hz with a response of no more than 7-8ms on G2G/B2W, and not at all miserable 2.5k in the 15" version. This series is clearly not for frequent carrying, but home, office, and here weight means little - a large diagonal screen with high ppi is important, for filigree fonts for work and an ideal video in 4k/fhd + games in sharp fhd mode. What neither fhd nor 2.5k panels a priori can give.

Again, Asus marketers have a problem with targeting.

They don't understand the target audience well. Like Lenovo marketers with 2022, who have the biggest sales failure among the top 5 manufacturers and the loss of first place, immediately falling into third...
