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 power available to gaming laptops often lends itself to creative types, but don't expect top-notch colour reproduction. The 17.3in panel on offer here covers 94 per cent of the sRGB space and only 73 per cent of AdobeRGB.
Being able to display a wide gamut of colours can be helpful, yet the colours themselves still need to deliver in terms of accuracy. In the above chart, the Delta-E figure corresponds to how close the displayed colours match up with real life and the lower the overall result, the better. Any figure below 2 is considered very good and the GL753VD falls just short of that target.
Brightness is a strong point at nearly 330 nits, and black levels are decent, too. Contrast however could be better and we did notice a bit of backlight bleed along the edges. The 1080p display isn't excellent in any one regard, but it's big, bright, and good viewing angles coupled with a matte coating make it suitable for gaming at up to 60Hz.
