You might have noticed in some laptop screens or tv monitors that when you watch the screen from an angle (not directly in front of the screen), you cannot see the picture clearly. An IPS screen (In Plane Switching) solves this problem and allows you to see the picture from an angle)
"(In-Plane Switching panel) An active matrix (TFT) LCD screen technology developed by Hitachi in the mid-1990s that provides more uniform color reproduction and greater viewing angles than traditional twisted nematic (TN) LCDs. Maturing for more than a decade, IPS was deployed in iPads and various Android tablets. Viewers greatly appreciate the wide angle and color quality, because tablets are often used as movie viewers, videophones and electronic photo albums." - PC Mag
It's a type of LCD screen that offers better viewing angles and color quality, at the cost of being a little slower and using more energy.
