I was planning to upgrade my current laptop screen (see sig for specs) with a 120Hz laptop screen but Illegear warned me of three things which are:

1) 120Hz eDP panel has a reduced colour coverage (85% sRGB only compared to 100% on the IPS panel)

2) Reduced viewing angle

3) The brightness level will be constantly at 100%

------

My question is, would 75% sRGB be a huge difference to my current 100% sRGB screen?

Current screen: 15.6" Full HD Anti-glare Display IPS/AHVA sRGB 100% Color & Wide View (1920 x 1080)

Screen to upgrade: 15.6" Full HD Anti-glare 120Hz 5ms eDP Display with sRGB 85% (1920x1080)

Q5 Evo?

im using the same laptop..but got enough power to push 120fps?

Yep, just spoke with their rep, they say it's possible, but with those three limitations in mind.

The 1050 Ti in our laptop couldn't push many frames on higher games, but on games that I mainly play (CSGO, Dota, OW) would do fine IMO. On certain games like Titanfall 2 or Battlefield 1, I might just lock it at 70fps.

less accurate sRGB shouldnt be an issue for gaming...unless u r using ur laptop for creative works..

but 100% brightness could be an issue..

how much is the upgrade?

I do some creative work, but not professional work, then again I ever so rarely do creative work on my laptop.

And yeah, the 100% brightness is what worries me and I am told that it is the nature 120Hz screens in the market.

The total cost of the upgrade is RM499.

What do you think?

Perhaps only laptop screen with nonadjustable brightness..

external monitor definitely can adjust iirc..

i would save more money and buy an external monitor..

I thought of that as well but 120Hz screens are usually close to RM1k, not to mention it isn't as portable as a laptop.

staring at 100% brightness is something i definitely wouldnt want to do..especially gaming at several hours without stopping..

unless u wear a spec that can dimmed the brightness..
