Philips uses all kinds of panel these days. I saw one at Comet which had the new S-PVA, (you can tell by the greenish tint when viewing in an odd angle).

PS: IPS Alpha is very expensive to produce and only used by Panasonic and Hitachi on their High-End LCD TVs.

PPS: Tosibe is now joined with Sharp. So they'll be using ASV panels, not S-IPS or MVA.
