State of the art is 16:10 4k displays with >500 nits brightness. This isn't state of the art, this is using up old display panels. Which is fine, someone's gotta use those too. Just don't call it state of the art.

For 4000 euro, the display is weak.

The HDMI spec is 2.1 not 2.0b

Better get it right....

The display is so dim because of MSI True Color defaulting to sRGB mode.
Not that it is much brighter on other modes, but at least not so bad.
What's weird is that you can't use USB-C for display with graphics card in discrete mode. iGPU must be enabled.

4k is a waste of computational power on 17 inches display, especially on a gaming laptop.
State of the art is quite a subjective definition.

@Dude what:

Absolutely not. 4KUHD on 17" is 250ppi, same as on iPad Pro and 12-14" Ultrabooks with QHD screen.

People are buying this for both productivity AND entertainment, many who spend this much on a laptop definitely want that sharpness and clarity on their display. I am one of those people.

Nobody is buying these for productivity as there are much better options around for that

I'm a little confused about the fan noise section. The article states that fan noise gets up to 55 db. The 10UH article indicates it was was considerably quieter and the graph looks very similar to the 11UH. Is this a typo? Also, I miss the Witcher fan noise data, can this be added?
