The 120 Hz display of the Nitro 5 only delivers poor response times - The Acer Nitro 5 AN517-52 in review

[Redaktion]

Acer's 17.3-inch gaming laptop brings all the latest computer games smoothly onto the screen. The configuration is pleasing: A Comet Lake hexa-core processor, a GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, a 1 TB NVMe SSD and 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel) are on board.

Yet you do not mention it when G14 does worse and at a similar price point, and run sponsored oosts for asus?

Asus G14 has better things beside the response time. Also in this price with Intel processor, Acer shouldn't use low color gamut and high response time display.

[Not suprising]

Seems like 120 hz is the new 768p/1080p. Mostly garbage panels. Just like if you wanted decent brightness / color accuracy / gamut / contrast / etc - you needed to go for a higher res panel (2.5k / 3k / 4k). If you want response times comparable to desktop, need to go for 240 / 300 hz panels.

Gaming Laptop manufacturers with time are showing less and less concern for their laptop panels whereas they are trying to assemble high end parts at low prices(which are still high), so rather I myself would prefer a laptop with a better screen than blazing-fast performance.....
