Benchmarks: Display
Some of the biggest advancements in modern laptops revolve around the capabilities of the display panel. To provide a more meaningful overview of panel characteristics, we're deploying Datacolor's Spyder 4 Elite professional monitor analyser to return a quantitative assessment of display quality.
The full-HD display is bright, even and a good choice for the 13.3in panel. There was no evidence of backlight bleed on a pure black screen and minimal IPS glow. Gamut-wise, it covered 98 per cent of the sRGB space and an average 74 per cent of AdobeRGB. We'd be intrigued to see how the QHD+ screen fared in the same tests.
Once the brightness is jacked up it's also easier to read in direct sunlight than most other panels we've come across recently.
