I did contact customer support and it seems that the Octane 4K panel is IPS, but not the 1080p pane;, which is a shame.Call PCS and ask them for the panel model. The panels are subject to change so just because someone got X 2 months ago doesn't mean you'll get X if you order today. If you call them and find out, do let us know as it's always interesting and could be helpful to others in a similar position.
