Is it IPS?

Its a VA Panel, which is kind of in-between TN and IPS as far as I'm aware.

Delivery is a bit steep, but looks good.

Refresh Rate will be 60, standard for anything like this.

VA panels I would avoid, because it tries to be the best of both worlds (TN and IPS), it suffers from ghosting average viewing angle. If you need a monitor for online gaming then TN is the way to go, if for colour accuracy and digital editing then IPS.
I have tried several VA panels in the last few months from difference manufacturers and they were all a bit poo.
EDIT: I haven't voted up or down for this, I am not that petty

Ive read that online but I'm not too bothered. i have a 24" TN panel which this will be alongside so it'll look better in comparison. and to be honest, if you can find me a 27" TN panel for less than £130 delivered please let me know, i cant really find much from a known brand

You are very unfair to VA panels, they have a better contrast and black levels than both TN anD IPS (3000:1 compared to 1000:1 max for IPS).
I've run them in dual monitor setups with IPS side by side and never been able to notice anything wrong with them, except for maybe some slower older models having some gosting in some games, however, not everybody games.
I need sharp image, good image quality, good color reproduction, and rest assured VA will deliver.
Saying 'IPS is better' is a sweeping statement, cheap IPS panels are worst actually, while VA usually delivers excellent results across the range, IPS can be 8 or 10 bit panels which many confuse.

Honestly I really wouldn't go with it, its not so much of a problem when the whole screen is lit up, if you have dark areas you will notice the ghosting even more. I played Titanfall on the panel along with C&C and some counterstrike, refresh rate couldn't keep up, resulting in blurred imaging.
Its your choice obviously, although IMHO you would be better saving your money up and putting it towards a 27' TN or IPS which will cost more but operate better.
