Oh, I should have been more specific. I was just addressing the colours, not really the viewing angle from what I saw in the screenshot. I have no issues with the viewing angle. But the display and colors definitely noticeably worse in the last gen GT model compared to newest GE line. After calibrating I'm getting pure whites, no longer a sickly red tint when I got it out from the box.

I've noticed that in other gaming laptops as well. I stayed away from the Asus 551 and 552 this round because of what I thought were sub-par displays. The Gigabyte gaming laptop has a nice IPS screen, and Skylake.

As for MSI, you'll have to look at the actual screens carefully.

Very strange... My GP62 Leopard Pro (Haswell), is a wide-gamut RGB screen (the mysterious CMN15x screen ("CMN15D2"))... rare in consumer LCD screens, let alone laptops.

Pros: The colours are unbelievably good. Viewing angle is good. Everything looks awesome in "bright scenes" or scenes which are predominantly "bright" eg. "daytime" in a game.

Cons: The black levels (due to backlight "bleed") is really quite bad. Very noticeable in "dark scenes". This is probably a dealbreaker for most people, so be sure to CHECK THIS AT THE MSI SHOP for the laptop you're interested in.

Anyway, for various reasons I am keeping my laptop and still like it. One of the reasons is it was a trade that needed to be made quite quickly so I'll have to #dealwithit

I've contacted MSI and reported this matter and they asked me to go directly to the service center without any explanation at all. :|

Edit: I got respond from MSI fb. We'll see how they deal with this issue

They ask u send to services center also ?

Sorry for being a bit off topic here. (Since u guys are discussing about the latest skylake msi pe60 with cheap display panel). I heard that the broadwell msi pe60 has this bsod bug: BSOD MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error. One retailer I asked mentioned that broadwell msi pe60 is well known with this bsod bug. Is that true? Anybody here can confirm this?

Never BSOD until now

I had no issue with Window 8.1 even upgrade with Window 10, v1511

Confirm with witcher 3 & lightroom rendering

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the confirmation! I thought so many people are having this issue. So this bsod bug isn't really that widespread la? My sister might wanna buy one, but afraid if got lemon unit with that bsod bug. Actually, planning to get the newer skylake version but u guys here are reporting cheap screen display, so better get the broadwell one with the better display panel.

[sorry for spam, but i think related, thought my MSI laptop is budget type one]

i got CX61 laptop in 2014 febuary from lowyat plaza, then today power adapter not working so i want to ask where to get same , preferable original adapter for same laptop. also price range for that because the laptop is company laptop.

thanks!

Paying 2-4K more just for custom paint job.

Skylake i7-6820HK+CM236


ok mah

Dual nVidia Geforce GTX 980M, 8GB GDDR5 SLI
not enough power for u ?

Well i went walking around lowyat jus now checking out the display, some of the Skylake sets come PE&Gaming series with the CM Display but the older PE60 2QE comes with the IPS display...very noticable difference....even the one of the asus rog i check had the CM display....Was waitting for the new 6th Gen...but with this cost cutting measure...might be lookin for other brands....the Y700 had a nice LG IPS screen...

So any of the guys got feedback from MSI yet?

One thing though the form factor of the Y700... The CPU is most likely going to throttle a lot.

Be sure to check if your model can sustain X GHZ over hours of heavy CPU and GPU use.

MSI Cooler Boost at maximum can be noisy but helps a lot with keeping temperatures manageable, reducing the possibility of throttling without having some super massive heat sink and cooler.

Be aware too that laptops do not always have Turbo Boost to the two or four core GHZ maximum all the time, that's why Turbo Boost speeds are not guaranteed, only the rated speed.

But yeah in the RM 4 to 5 thousand range currently one has to weigh the compromises. Nonetheless the Maxwell Nvidia and Intel Skylake with M2 SSD and DDR4 RAM... this is some really good tech.

Yea still much undecided......better viewing angle vs better rgb range or better cooling vs better build quality.
So much headache....
