I feel exactly the same I loved my old glossy screens as they don’t wash shit out or put a damn frost over everything. As long as it gets bright enough it’s a non issue. Pisses me off the hivemind changed the Meta of certain aspects.

If it had a touch screen, I'd argue you'd be right. That's why I like glossy screens. Why not have an option for both?

Guess what. I have a fix for you and you won’t believe what it is. Buy a fucking external monitor lol i got an Alienware 27 inch 240hz one for less than 300 bucks the other day from fucking Best Buy. You’re welcome.

Completely agreed. Especially if future models could have increased brightness. Getting a glossy screen is a huge improvement over matte imo, and the reflections stop being an issue if you have a bright screen, perhaps 500+ nits.

@@cameronbosch1213 touchscreens work with matte film protection just fine as well, that's not the point. The point is clearer, brightner and more natural image you get with glossy coating. Watch Dave 2D video about it "why nobody did this before?"

The first time you press that power button it should only be done in a pitch dark room. You’ll thank me later!

@@andrewmorris3479 haha oh I’ll do it. Every tv in my house is oled but them black levels never get old.

Check OWNorDisown’s live stream he did last night he shows that.

I don't know how to do it accurately, I could take multiple photos and they would all look a bit different based on where the object is at the time, so seems hard to get it in a useful state for actually comparing between two different machines.

I have the G5 5500 Intel Version with RTX 2070 Max-Q and what I can say is that when temps are below 21 degrees in conjunction with a cooling pad the thermals are great and around 80 on the cpu and 70 on the gpu. That's using 36w in games and 80w on the gpu. However with 28 degree ambient temps here in the UK at the moment I'm not comfortable with it being at 90 on the cpu and 80 on the gpu so I disable turbo boost and get about 75 on cpu and gpu. Another option if the game is completely gpu bound is to use "cool" thermal profile which limits the cpu to like 11w but keeping the gpu at around 75-80w in game. Thermals are again very good. In spring, autumn and winter you can use the max performance these laptops will give but in summer it's a no.

Unfortunately I just found that the ge67 doesn't have G-sync. Will there you notice stutter or tearing on such a great oled display lije this?

@@abodyalharbi3844 G-sync is only useful for low hz monitor shouldnt be a problem with 240hz sense u will never get 1000 fps lol it works like this: 60hz refresh rate+240 fps will cause tearing bc the screen is confused which frame to show so G-sync put a cap to your fps to whats best but ur screen has 240hz G-sync wont help a lot

@@ahmadbugshan9603 That's not how it works. If you have a 240hz screen and you get 100 fps you can still get screen tearing.

It makes a noticeable difference because manufacturers lie about their response times to a hilarious extent. Not even the fastest lcd's in existence has been able to complete an entire refresh window through the whole range within a 240hz refresh time

@Bob Marley He's wrong but not for the reason you said, he literally never said you won't get tearing at 100fps. Where he was wrong was on saying that it isn't beneficial at higher refresh rates when it is. Just like when there's more frames than refreshes in the case of the reverse you'll also get tearing, your monitor will refresh when there's incomplete frames unless they are common denominators ie 60fps at 240hz

I hope he also offers some insights about why the AMD models has such lost in 1% low FPS.

Too expensive tho. £3200

4K at a high refresh rate costs thousands and thousands dollars worth of tech to achieve I believe lol

2k/1440 @ 144 is the sweet spot in pc gaming atm. Unless competitive the. 240 04 300hz @1080p . Soon when gpus can process 1440 like it can 1080 then it’ll be better I feel

I do have a 43” 4K at 144Hz. This is the Aorus FV43U.

Check HDTV test KZfaq video uploaded today talking about it.

What display do you use

Nope, unfortunately not.

The $2299 GE67HX is not only a much better value but much more performance for $1000 less.

After rolling back the driver and manual checking for updates does your automatically download and install the .1994 Intel driver? I ended up having to use DDU and that fixed it correctly.

@@andrewmorris3479 The updated driver only shows up when scanning for updates using the MSI software. I just don't select it to be installed. This is a windows / Intel issue as I had the same problem with a ASUS laptop that also had an OLED display.

@@RichCompMan Interesting. I tried downloading the latest driver from Intel’s website and when I checked for updates manually it just downloaded the older Intel driver from MSI’s website and installed it over again. Then I gave up and did it the right way according to MSI’s FAQ.

@@andrewmorris3479 Yeah, I just did it the lazy way. Device Manager > Display adapters > Intel (Right Click) > Update drivers > Let Me Pick from List > and just pick the previous version. Windows updates is always breaking stuff.

@@RichCompMan I went through Device Manager and tried to roll back the driver but I didn’t try it exactly as you have shown. The roll back driver option was greyed out so I figured I wouldn’t be able to do it.

I’m not 100% sure but I think these aren’t gsync panels. Suprisingly Alienware was one of the only ones with gsync oled panels.

Issues, no, but it was there.

@@JarrodsLaptops I mean do you have any headache, being exhausted and etc? I read some review, it says it has 480hz PWM on all levels of brightness, no DC dimming and it could be a problem for a people sensitive to PWM OLED. I badly want this laptop but don't know how my eyes will react to this screen.

Legion 5

What model to be exact?

Btw I don't speak English so I maybe made mistake so sorry

It's not as hot on batter because it runs at much lower wattage. Less wattage = less heat.

I don't recommend using it at high loads on battery, as you severely lessen its longevity that way.

@@TabalugaDragon don't worry I only play don't starve together and pvz gw2

@@bfish9700 but most of the time I'm only playing cpu work loads

Also why AMD has so low 1% FPS.

🤘

Too bright though

Is there mini led windows laptops out there? I thought only macbooks has it

@@tiunchi yes, in fact msi released one before Apple did. Dave 2D reviewed it.

@@tiunchi lenovo is releasing that option shortly for the 7 and 7i as well as asus with the x16 flow among others.

Not in dark mode. OLED panels are more efficient in that use case.

Don't know where you got that information from, OLED is _more_ efficient than IPS at indoor brightness levels. It consumes more only at extremely high brightness.

No. Perhaps you're confusing it with the 20+ min video on the main channel

No it is not.

yes it is

why? it all depends on how you use it.

Doubt it. Thats very future proofed and high performance. Maybe for AAA gaming it might start to show its age but for everything else you use a laptop for it will be beastly still.

There is no such thing as future proof, everything gets obsolete eventually. The question is whether it meets your needs. Does it make sense to pay 25% more for a laptop that lasts 25% longer (say, 4 instead of 3 years)? Perhaps. But what about the risk that it breaks out of warranty with an uneconomical repair, that things move faster than anticipated and you don't get that 4th or 5th year without truly hating it. Gaming laptops tend to run right on the limits of thermals, and if you don't maintain and clean them fastidiously, things other than the cpu and you can get too hot and degrade over time. Any one of those components on these busy motherboards can take out the entire thing... And because it's all soldered it's a much more expensive replacement than when you could reuse socketed parts and only needed to replace the thing that died, not all of motherboard+CPU+GPU. I've won and lost on my current machine is coincidentally 5 years old... A big thick P870DM3 dual GPU+desktop CPU UHD 17" Clevo DTR brick I bought less than a year old in 2017 at way less than half price (after flipping the superfluous overkill spec parts) on eBay I was able to upgrade it to an 8core 9900K and run it at 4.9Ghz with 64gv 3000mhz RAM which is plenty fast, but the 2nd GPU is worthless as SLI is dead and is stuck at a (vbios modded 250W power limited OC'd) GTX1080, as the MXM standard is also dead so the upgrades that are possible are bad value (2080S is not much of a benefit and the 3080M that is, is >>USD$2K... with the issue of compatibility to contend with) And even then the 4K screen is great with accurate bright colours but its 20-30ms transitions are terrible for fast paced games and would limit the experience anyway TL;DR even winning the lottery with this there are many many things that render even the most upgradeable laptop on the face of the earth, obsolete eventually Oh and I modded in detachable water-cooling to handle all the extra heat without the screaming fans didn't drive me insane

@@greebj true. Cuz technology is advancing every day. One day this laptop will be as good as my 1990 model one
