Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5.2 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
6.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.4 ms rise
↘ 3.2 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 16 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Läs den fullständiga versionen av den här recensionen på engelska här.

Om du behöver välja mellan ROG Zephyrus GX501VI (GTX 1080 Max-Q) och ROG Zephyrus M GM501GS (GeForce GTX 1070) så hade vi personligen valt det senare alternativet. Även om GM501 är betydligt mer högljudd när den kör 3D-applikationer så är den mycket billigare samtidigt som den erbjuder nästan identisk spelprestanda och har, tycker vi, bättre inmatningsenheter. 144 Hz-skärmen har hög kontrast och stöd för G-Sync, och möjligheten till grafik-byte (Optimus) är också en stark anledning till köp.

Tyvärr kan GM501 inte klara av särskilt långa batteritider på grund av sin Optimus-teknik. Den hade behövt ett större batteri. På grund av det förblir Aero 15X nummer 1 när det kommer till portabla toppskikts-laptops på 15 tum. Konkurrensen från Acer (Predator Triton 700) samt MSI:s GS63VR kan hållas i shack av vår Zephyrus M. Gamers som reser mycket och förväntar sig hög prestanda såväl som ett tunt, behagligt lätt och snyggt hölje borde bli nöjda med GM501.

Intels sexkärniga arkitektur, som vi nu för första gången har testat i en mobil enhet, garanterar en generös ökning i prestandan hos applikationer med stöd för flera kärnor. Detta behövdes verkligen efter att AMD släppt Ryzen-baserade chips med sex och åtta kärnor. Eller som man säger: Konkurrens är bra för affärerna.

Förresten, recensioner för den splitter nya MSI GS65 och den uppdaterade Gigabyte Aero 15X (båda med Coffee Lake) kommer snart finnas tillgängliga - och dom kommer troligen vara starka konkurrenter till Zephyrus M.
