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 detected 130 Hz ≤ 95 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 130 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 95 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 130 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8746 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

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
25.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 13.2 ms rise
↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 57 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
40 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19.6 ms rise
↘ 20.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 57 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

The Gigabyte Aero 14K, provided by Gigabyte Germany.

Gigabytes kompakta speldator kan visa alla aktuella datorspel på sin matta QHD-skärm, men köpare blir tvungna att ge avkall på dom högsta kvalitetsinställningarna. GeForce GTX 1050 Ti-grafikkärnan erbjuder lite för lite prestanda för det.

Gigabytes enhet på 14-tum kombinerar hög processorkraft med lång batteritid.

Aero skötte även jobbet som kontorsmaskin bra: Den har ett väldigt bra tangentbord och håller sig mellan stilla och tyst ljudmässigt. Den erbjuder också bra mobil användning: Tack vare ett väldimensionerat batteri har den utmärkt batteritid som får andra kontorslaptops att skämmas.

Den snabba NVMe SSD-disken säkrar ett snabbt system. Det skulle vara möjligt att byta ut SSD-disken, för den erbjuder inte mycket plats för en gamer med sin kapacitet på 256 GB. Möjligheten finns också att installera en till M.2 SSD. Den matta QHD-skärmen är tillfredställande med stabil betraktningsvinkel och bra kontrast. Tyvärr är ljusstyrkan aningen låg för en dator i denna priskategori.
