But it looks pretty good, great viewing angles, 144 hz adaptive sync makes the experience really smooth. That's what my desktop is for, go figure. Bringing this up because it's one of the reasons I'm leaning heavily towards the A15. Screen is just sub-par for sure, a compromise for the price point I guess. Update: I've done more gaming with a focus on responsiveness and ghosting. It's the only laptop I've ever owned that I didn't feel completely comfortable with it in my backpack - like I would still worry about it because I might drop my backpack or something. Not the system integrator's (ASUS) fault, it was Realtek's fault for making a crappy wireless card. Assuming the issues I'm having get worked out hands down I would get this one. There's a window directly behind me (though it's an overcast day), and the second picture it is reflecting at its brightest intensity. It's hard to give any direct recommendations. I have yet to try using it outdoors due to the weather being crap lately, but I don't expect it to be unusable outdoors. I think the BIOS update may have helped but not sure - I reinstalled all drivers/software. Asking this as I hope Helios could go down in price and 6/8 cores don't look that much better than 4c on Helios but I could be wrong. These first 2 issues issues alone are enough for me to RMA the laptop if not for the hope that they will be fixed. Specs: Ryzen 5 4600H, 1650 GDDR6 (2020 Version), 256 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD. All of the advantages I listed over the Helios sound like wins for someone hoping to use it for college. I'm sure all of the current gen laptops getting dropped are going to be highly competitive. At first, I was pretty excited to finally have a machine that can actually game, but after actually using it, I was quite disappointed. Now it's just an ugly reminder that the reason I have a laptop is to take it places not have it sit on a desk. I suspect the reason I didn't get into the BIOS before was because you have to begin hitting delete before the screen turns on. The screen is really good, much better than I expected after the only review I found for it dogged the screen badly. Also, I understand you haven't really tested the battery, but the 90 wah battery definitely appeals to me. I also don't see it having unacceptable amounts of the "tunnel effect" that IPS style displays can be subject to. I know part of that is up to the preferences of the user, but I think there is a threshold where any reasonable human would say "this sucks". I didn't notice any tearing, and the response times felt fine to me. I don't count this as a negative at all, but others buying it may want to be aware. I like the value the A15 offers for its price, and I especially like that they advertise its durability, but there's definitely something about the Legion brand that appeals to me. If you get an MSI make sure you register it to get the free accidental damage protection, it saved my bacon. I'm only worried about the thermals. The issues I'm experiencing all together make me seriously consider returning this laptop, if not for the hope that they can be fixed with updates. would you still get this or opt for the Legion 5 or 5i or for the MSI GF65? What's interesting is the WMR headset actually works fine on my wife's laptop which is wired the same way. If given a choice what would you buy : Helios 300(2019) edition (with similar specs i79750h+gtx1660ti+~60whr battery ) Or the one you bought? You said the screen was okay to your liking and that there are hidden options for color/contrast can you please elaborate a bit, like will it make the screen look a little more vibrant , and its effect on battery life ?
