    Not very good price considering the G14 with an RTX3060 and 1440p display was only ~$70 more a bit under a month ago

    • Yeah, I've got an older GTX 1660 Ti model with Ryzen 4800H and a 1080p 120hz display. I wouldn't pay $2k for only a 3050 ti upgrade that's for sure.

  • What does "IPS- level" even mean?

      It can mean difference things depending on the manufacturer, some may use it as a fancy word for a high end TN panel or otherwise, but it will never be as good as a true IPS panel.

      I am not sure if is the case with the zephyrus laptops however, because no asus/rog laptop ever gets advertised with an IPS panel, its always 'IPS level' even for the most expensive models. I reckon its due to legal/other reasons (the IPS name is copyrighted afaik) that they cant use it but I could be wrong.

      ^This is the specific model used in this laptop but I cant tell what specific technology it is using, perhaps anyone with knowledge in this field can help us out.

      • It's actually because only LG panels can use the name IPS, I'm pretty sure.

        Yeah. "Note that some display may be labeled "IPS-level" or some other variant. This means that the panel was not made by LG and, therefore, the vendor isn't allowed to call the display IPS. However, the technology and end results should appear the same to the naked eye."
