    I am very interested in buying the GE73VR-7RF-274NL.

    The laptop is offered on several sites and some say it is a TN screen and some say it is an IPS screen. I prefer an IPS screen.

    Is it even possible that different stores offer different screens while the model number is exactly the same?

    Or are screens of the GE73VR -7RF always TN?

    The MSI site doesn't help much as it says: '17.3" Full HD (1920x1080), 120 Hz Refresh Rate and 3ms response time panel (Optional)'

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    From what I know, it is a TN panel screen. However some sites will advertise it and say " IPS Level" screen.

    Thank you, so you don't think there are 2 different versions?
