Matte w/ 95% NTSC Color Gamut - Worth $100 upgrade?

[decayedmatter]

Nope, the 15" models with the 1920x1080 screen use the B156HW01 screens - V.0 60% color gamut for glossy, V.1 for Matte. The 17" uses LP173WF1 screens for both glossy and matte at 72% color gamut.

Upgrades for both are the V.4 95% color gamut for the 15", or a totally different screen (B173HW01 ) V.4 90% for the 17". The 17" upgrade isn't *quite* as nice.

Oh wow then a screen upgrade might be more worthwhile on the 15 inchers. I am not completely happy with my stock 17" screen but its decent.

sure it's worth a 100$. for me personally, unless you have a vibrant and colorfull screen there is no way i enjoy my gaming. so go for it)

Thanks for the advice. I customized my order to include the matte v4 and couldn't be more happy with the decision.

I think its definitely worth it one of the best mobile screens I've ever seen, comparable to the professional grade IPS panels we have at work.

So the matte option is automatically the 95% gamut screen? There's not 2 versions of the matte screen are there?

I'm thinking of ordering the Clevo P151HM and it seems that it ships out with this display - 15.6" Full HD 16:9 Wide screen (1920x1080) LED-Backlit Display with Matte Finished Screen.

Is it safe to assume that this is the 95% gamut screen? If so, i'll pull the trigger and buy it.

No, the Matte ntsc 95% gamut screen is an upgrade. The default matte screen is 60% gamut. In total there are four screens:

v0 B156HW01 – 60% gamut glossy (default glossy screen)
v1 B156HW01 – 60% gamut matte (default matte screen)
v4 B156HW01 – 95% gamut matte (now half price but with risk of one dead/stuck pixel from Logical Blue One)
v7 B156HW01 – 95% gamut glossy (*new*)

My personal choice is the v7 .

Hope this helps.
