    Does anyone know if MSI still uses TN panels? If yes, then which models (either from 2015 or 2016) come with it?

    Interesting. So does it mean all GT73VR models come with TN panels or not? Also, how about LED?

    I'm not sure about all models but from what I have read there are choices between 4k and 120 Hz 1080p models. I know nothing about the 4k screens because it wasn't a feature I was looking for.

    The 120Hz is TN, the 4K says "IPS-Level" meaning it's probably AHVA or PLS
