Quick question; I know that the new Macbook Pro's have an IPS LED screen, but what about the late 2008 Macbook unibody?

I have this computer and would love to know what kind of screen I have.

Thanks

What makes you think MBPs have IPS screens?

ALL Apple laptops use TN panels! Most of them are pretty good.
The panel they used in the aluminium MacBook, however, can be considered as one of the worst.
