The panel type can easily be identified, but requires seeing the back of the TV. There's no way to tell if ordering online, or by looking at the outside of the box. The VA panel version has straight horizontal lines across the top of the back, and says "350w" (watts) on the ID tag. The IPS version has 2 curved lines, like a split "M", on the top of the back, and says "300w" on the ID tag. I posted detailed pictures in a review on BB's website.
For the 75", the VA panel is the original, with manufacturing dates mostly in the first half of 2021. In the middle of the year, both VA and IPS were made. Toward the end of the year, the switch to IPS was complete.
My IPS panel is in a well-lit large game room, where the wide viewing angles provide a consistent picture, and the blacks are dark enough. My VA panel is in a movie room, where most viewing is in the dark and straight-on. That TV has inky dark blacks, which are ideal for that setting.
Side note: the default picture settings on the U6G TVs aren't good. The pictures change dramatically (for the better) once the settings are optimized. Rtings.com has great baselines to start with on their review, and CR.com has additional recommendations that helped me.

120hz I can live without but in my opinion VRR is a must have feature even if you only game casually
Thank you!

I'm still confused why so many people want to cut notches in anything wooden.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank atlm

PICTURE SETTINGS
Picture Mode: Theater Night
Aspect ratio: Direct
Contrast: 52
Brightness: 50
Gamma: 2.4
Color: 52
Tint: R1
Sharpness: 0
Color Temperature: Low
Backlight: 34
Local Dimming: High
HDMI 2.0 Format: Enhanced format
Motion Enhancement: Custom (Blur Reduction: 10)
Color Space: Auto
All other settings should be set to "off" or zero "0." Any individual R,G, or B color sub-controls, if present, should remain at their default settings.
So if you divide the price, it's pretty worth it.
Do not get datacolor colorimeters, they don't work on Oled/ VA tvs.
