Quote from: Grinnie Jax on January 04, 2021, 07:07:41They do offer more than one display. It seems like all the models advertised around here use the 144 Hz screen. The real problem is that you can't actually buy one. There is zero stock and if you order one, it appears it might be delivered in April. No guarantees. Good luck with that.
Intel cash doesn't smell, right, HP? Why supply the AMD model with such a crappy display? 58% sRGB and 40% AdobeRGB display coupled with such excellent CPU and decent GPU is nonsense.
Quote from: davszermeta on January 05, 2021, 17:19:14I've used a laptop with a 1366x768 TN panel, that has 220 nit brightness, 58% sRGB, delta E of 25, and a contrast ratio of 650:1 for over 2 and a half years. Also, it had intel UHD 620 with a 8265U. I had a perfectly reasonable gaming experience. I would say that the GPU would be the thing to upgrade, not the display. The display I had was way worse than this (TN vs. IPS) and I was happy playing video games on it, like World of Tanks, Minecraft, Forza Motorsport 6, and others. Minded, I had to decrease the settings to minimum, but I did have a good experience. This laptop with a good GPU and display that's much better when compared to what I had is a really good combo. NBC rates displays based on their entire scale. This includes laptops from like 7 years ago that had 100nit brightness and 40% sRGB. That's why the percentages are so high, even for a display that would seem to you as crap.Quote from: John Smith on January 04, 2021, 18:05:18And this is the reason why this display shouldn't get 83%!!!Quote from: Grinnie Jax on January 04, 2021, 07:07:41This display is their lowest end option. For an extra $150, you can get a 300 nit, 72% NTSC (100% sRGB), low response time (around 10 ms), 300hz panel, which is their highest end offering. Considering it's only a $150 upgrade, it's worth it. But I do agree, selling a GAMING laptop with such a crappy display is disrespectful to the consumer, since they're going to have a horrible gaming experience.

if all the reviewers started to properly assess the quality of displays, maybe it would change something for the producers, and so we have a better equipment, because how else to call this crap, which according to notebookcheck obtained 83%... 83% that is quite good isn't it...

This is fucking bullshit. Idiotic companies are making Intel look amazing by putting their tests on the high performance setting, and calling the results "groundbreaking." Meanwhile, when an AMD laptop comes into their labs, they put it on the balanced setting, which drastically decreases power limits, and when it gets THE SAME FREAKING RESULTS, they call it "ok." If they put it on the high performance setting on the AMD laptop, it would get around a 20-25% improvement, which would wreck Intel, but since Intel bribes these reviewers, (I'm looking at you, NBC) they don't put the laptops into high performance. Absolute bullshit.
