e-IPS panel according to review. IPS is like radial tires - many sizes and brand but the quality is not the same. Some mention of light bleed problems in reviews.
^ You won't get a monitor that everyone agrees is perfect for $160 unless the only criteria is cost (the only way many cheap Acers get good reviews). Compared to most $160 monitors (all TN panels instead of IPS) the picture quality is good, but don't think it is equal to a $300 IPS monitor except the other one (forget make and model) that uses the same panel in it.
