QUOTE(randytsx @ Apr 9 2015, 12:14 PM) The 2 Z5 v2 laptops at my place have no screen bleeding or dead pixels either. Can you snap a picture of you screen in low light places with blacklight background? Cause if you check under a high light exposure room, you won't notice the screen bleeding. |

QUOTE(wingwp @ Apr 9 2015, 07:59 PM) It's normal IPS will have some degree of bleeding Its about the quality. Not about staring at black screen or not. Its a gaming laptop anyway, and most games have dark corners so somehow you'll notice it sometimes.but under normal usage u won't even notice it, who stare at black screen anyway? But do you think this is acceptable? |

Which the display of GTA V game quality is surely better on IPS. |

QUOTE(Eyuna3 @ Apr 13 2015, 12:08 AM) I guess it would be better we do RMA I wonder who else out there is experiencing the same problem.. Prince J actually recommended me to take TN screen if I want to avoid screen bleeding at all cost.. But I prefer the color accuracy of IPS anyway.. So I'm not sure should I RMA or not.. Cause even tho if I RMA, not sure will my machine come back better or what.. How about you? |

QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Apr 13 2015, 10:21 AM) I would say its based on luck bro..he might get a better screen and u might not, or vice versa..so his update on his rma is irrelevant.. I can live with it. Since I'm not goin to stare at the black screen so long.. and who the heck would ply games all the time in dark rooms? it will only spoil your eyes.It all comes down to user preference..if u feel its not right and u got ocd , then go for rma...if u WANT TO confirm that ur next screen does not have any bleeding, just go for TN as prince j mentioned earlier..it all depends on your bro whether u can live with it or not and whether u willing to take the risk or not.To tell u the truth, most companies wont even give a fuck to replace the screen due to bleeding or dead pixel (1 to 4 pixels) issue..and illegear is willing to do that at their own cost coz customer satisfaction is their main priority..haha so think wisely bro nefore going for that rma coz u need to travel far also if im not mistaken.....SAFEST BET, JUST GO FOR TN, or just get the new ips but luck la broBut I respect illegear for providing such a good quality of after-sales-service without all the hassle i might need to go through with other companies. But for those who really cant take the screen bleeding might as well go for TN screen. |

QUOTE(Freezefrost @ Apr 13 2015, 06:34 PM) hello! can i get some opinion? not sure if anyone asked before...looking to get a gaming laptop budget about 4-5k. It depends on what you're looking for.. So far I have never heard of aftershock's warranty service. So I don't know how good is it.. If price-wise aftershock is slightly higher than Illegear.thinking about the brands that were recommended ...aftershock s15, ROG, aw13... but lately someone recommended illegear, looks quite cool. which one should do you guys recommend? I have seen a aftershock user so far.. Wish to meet one lol So if you have the budget, why don't you join the Z5 family? But you may get S5 as well. The difference between this 2 is z5- 1 primary hdd slot / no cd slot / GTX 960m/970m (4.2k/5k) s5- 2 primary hdd slot / with cd slot GTX 970m/980m (5.5k/not sure) Design wise is of course Z5 Why don't you speak to the professional?

QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Apr 14 2015, 11:20 AM) Aftershock I compared between afternshock and illegear before purchasing.. 5k I could get a gtx 970m 15.6" laptop with Illegear, if about the same package with aftershock its about 10% more expensive.Edit:almost same or slight higher depending on model But if we compare S-15 and S5 then s-15 from aftershock is slightly cheaper. |

QUOTE(miong93 @ Apr 14 2015, 03:26 PM) Isn't S15 is also using gtx970m ? Yeap, that's why I compare them since they are in the same range.. Playing GTA v right now with 60fps on my z5  gpu at 65CBut 3gb ram of GPU is not enough to play gta v at it's max performance.  This post has been edited by Cloud2322: Apr 14 2015, 06:49 PM |

QUOTE(miong93 @ Apr 18 2015, 09:31 AM) May I know which slot you installed your SSD ? mSATA slot 4 beside ram, Crucial m550.SSD will be cooler, only when you doesn't put it near any component which will generate much heat. I think he is still using HDD and add in SSD. HyperX SSD at slot 0 Temperate about 3x on normal usage. Gaming 4x-5x QUOTE(Prince J @ Apr 18 2015, 09:53 AM) Hi brian, Personally added, just wondering is it common among with others who installed crucial m550. Cause 70C is quite high.I checked your order details there is no MSATA 256GB SSD. I tried to checked online, seems like no good solution other than installing third-party program. So I wonder is the stock one having the same effect as mine or not. |

QUOTE(randytsx @ Apr 18 2015, 02:48 AM) I see what you mean. May I know had you done any setting on the SSD before?So, only the backlight portion of the LCD display is turned off but the LCD display on the whole is still working. There is no backlight and you can't see anything unless you shine some light on it, and only when there's enough light reflected off the screen can you barely see anything, if at all. But shouldn't we just consider the screen to be turned off since is it even possible for any laptop with such an LCD display to have the display turned off completely, instead of just the backlight, while the laptop on the whole is still turned on? More accurately, it's not dimming or turning off the screen, but turning off just the LCD backlight. Mine runs at 55 degrees C on idle. |

QUOTE(Eyuna3 @ Apr 18 2015, 11:49 AM) Mine one same like brian and get frm illegear. I found out the problem, it's the laptop cooling system itself. Now my crucial is at about 55C when idle. The mSATA 2 slot is kinda hot by itself that's why the SSD is overheating, now I've replaced it on mSATA 1 which located in between of the fan, and adjusted the harddisk setting. For those would do not have HIPM and DIPM setting you may follow these steps.Normally the temperature will be 50-56, during gaming can up to 65-71 On an average laptop, this will help you save about 7%-8% of battery life.

QUOTE(killerl @ Apr 24 2015, 07:35 PM) I just playing the gta v in illegear z5 gtx 960m, i get laggy when I driving a car is a high speed. Why ? I set all the graphics setting to normal and off AA & SMAA still the same. Open your Nvidia GeForce Experience.. See the game lists? Choose gta v press optimize, before you do press the "wrench button" adjust the to optimize section then launch game. It should be better that way.. Don't do the setting yourself if you're not so sure your gpu can handle it or not.. Let the AI do it for you It shud be fine reaching about 5xfps and above |

QUOTE(kennykong85 @ Apr 24 2015, 09:42 PM) I know its a noob question. But sifu here i wonder if its without cd drive. How do i install os into z5? and like the game cod all hav to download from internet. I reckon it will take atleast 1 day right? Yes, that's the only way you can do..does it mean i must hav another pc, create virtual drive. Load everything there. And transfer to external hdd, and then from external hdd run it and install to z5? I wanna be hassle free to install all those os.and microsoft office into it. If not then you can either borrow an optical drive from someone or buy one yourself for maybe future use too? |
