it says 21.5" full hd led

Yeah, but it doesn't mention what type of panel it is. Since it's not mentioned, I'm guessing it's Tn-film, but was kinda hoping it was PVA or IPS.

Feh! Most consumers don't know the difference. Unless you're dealing with Apple or ASUS, who may actually cater to those savvy to panel technology, chances are you're getting the cheapest display money can buy...

That said, all of these notebooks look like awkward clones of various generations of Toshibas. Not saying that it's a bad thing... The black one looks pretty slick, especially for a Lenovo.

I'd like to know for myself.
