Is X220 Premium HD display = IPS?

The X220 has appeared at the Lenovo web-site in Ireland, hurrah. Like the heading says though, what is the premium display? Is it the IPS display? Only €40 surcharge seems suspiciously low. Does anyone know?

Yes, Premium HD = IPS. Also the term "WideView" refers to IPS.
The term "Widesceen" does not mean anything (all X220's are Widescreen) - do not confuse that term with WideView!

OK sounds good. I was a bit suspicious because they do not explicitly mention wide viewing angles or wideview, since that's what normally points to IPS or PVA technology.
